Day 12 - The Day of The Easy Rider


We woke up early and we were still feeling a bit tired from yesterday,  so we took our time with porridge and tea /coffee.  It was also nice just to sit in the quiet surrounds of Jarrahwood.

It's only 28km today,  and an easy track along the old rail line. The first half up hill but a slight gradient for just over 8km.

It was a beautiful ride.  I would recommend to anyone to do this section. Lovely groves of  Banksia and then Sheoks and heaps of kangaroos and lizards. 
                            

What a nice little town Nannup is.  We stayed at The Black Cockatoo, which is a quirky spot on Derek and Sue's block,  right in town.  They had studios, one flasher than the one we stayed in,  and a couple of safari tents,  all secluded by their amazing garden. 

A short walk to the Lucky 7 for some food supplies, and to the pub for dinner and a chat to some of the locals. 

We headed back to The Black Cockatoo with a couple of beers under our belts and happy full tummies,  to relax on our veranda watching the possums race around the garden. 

A really nice spot. We may have to come back for their music festival in February.
