Hiking the Bibbulmun and Riding the Nullarbor Dates!

The Bibbulmun track will be the biggest challenge. I will need to carry my own supplies and somehow keep my medicine cool... Fortunately it is a beautiful hike and there may be a few people joining me here and there. Most people seem to hike from North to South, I am doing it the other way as I like to go from Devonport to Perth, and given we want the last of the summer tailwinds on the Nullarbor and avoid the heat of summer in WA.

To understand how beautiful it is have a look at these links:

Here is the proposed schedule to date, cycling till just past Easter. If the wind blows maybe we'll get to Albany by Easter :) Then the hike along the Bibbulmun starts....



Ride across the Nullarbor Plains:

Note there are no rest days in this proposed schedule and that is because some distances are so short that we will plan and compact days to create rest days. I expect we will easily do 100-120kms in a day depending on the winds... This means we will get at least one or two rest days in Adelaide.
