Perth to Albany Day 4, Wagin to Katanning
Today’s route took in a detour to Dumbleyung and a back road to Katanning. The road to Dumbleyung took us past Lake Dumbleyung where Donald Campbell set the world water record in 1956. The road in to the lookout was gravel so we wimped out again and went straight to the town.
The days are becoming less about suffering and more about really enjoying the cycling. The cooler temperature makes all the difference. I know, I know, cyclists are always going on about the weather; sorry about that. I promise not to also prattle on about the hills in this post.
We notched up another fun and pretty 91km today. The total so far for this ride is around 380km.
As I sit here typing away, Geff is showing us his cooking prowess, and it is smelling fantastic.
The dunny at Dumbleyung, I recommend it if you are ever passing through and need to pass something-through as it were.
Some fields of wheat in this area go on as far as you can see.
Kobeelya Convention Centre, at the top of the hill in Katanning. Tonight we kip down in the bungalow out the back.
Returning to the scene of the crime; Alec was married (along with Daphne) in this cute little chapel (St. Michael and All Angels) at Kobeelya in 1966.
