Albany

Day 27
Saturday, 28th February, 2009

This morning we looked around at some other bike shops for a summer riding jacket for me. No luck. After that, I went to Albany Patchworks and managed to buy a fat 1/4 and a brilliant pelican patchwork to do when I get home. It was lovely there and the lady was very helpful. She got out a map and showed me where the design of the patchwork had come from - a place called Emu Point. So, off we went so I could take some photos of the area. Albany is really starting to grow on me, it has lots of lovely little bays and I really quite like it.

After all that, we went to pick up Rosie Phoenix. I've really missed her. The guys at Great Southern Motorcycle were absolutely terrific! Steve (mechanic who did her service) even cleaned her right up and sprayed a special engine protection on her because of the travelling. She looks really terrific now.

Tomorrow we are heading towards Pemberton. I'm hoping to have a look around there for a few hours and then keep going another one or two hundred kms further towards Margaret River area.
