Nglang Boodja Hut

We dodged another day of rain which is great for us but bad for the countryside which continues to be very dry. The day started with a bit of concern as our bikes were locked inside the bar area of the hotel and despite assurances that there would be someone opening up at 7 there was no one there until 7:30- the easy solution would have been to give us the key to the bar but not quite sure why they didn't think of that. Anyhow we said goodbye to our Melbourne mate, Shane and another guy, Paul who knows Arthur Phillips and was visiting friends in Boyanup and after a little sustenance from the bakery we headed off around 8:30. For me it was not an enjoyable ride- the first 20kms was on seal up to Boyanup and then it got very hilly and we climbed around 300m. We then rode along the scarp and it would have been a nice view but everything was dry. We did stop off at Crooked Brook Rec area which was a nice area but no water in the brook or dam. Tried a couple of different modes of transport but alas flat batteries. Very happy to get to the hut and looks like we'll be the only ones here which will be good as it is the smallest we've encountered. Rain finally arrived at 3:30pmRead more
