Cottesloe, a bit far to walk to City center but you can get the train from there to Perth. Lovely views of the Indian Ocean.
Heat will be the biggest enemy at this time of the year on the bike. Plenty of water on board incase of any break downs would be handy. Fuel stops are OK for the 1100S on the WA side so shouldnt have any issues but we do stop for a break when we see one and top up.
What type of bike will you be on?
Animals such as roos and emus are a problem early and late so we try and stay off the roads at those times. Eagles will be feeding on road kill in the mornings and and take a bit to get off the ground!
We have a small group of us that do rides on Friday nights if you are interested in joining us.

Thanks for the info, Graelin. I'll be on an 800GS, my buddy on a 1200GS. We're doing a
Australia and New Zealand motorcycle tours and rentals - BikeRoundOz trip, if you happen to know those guys. We'll be in Perth on Wednesday, Jan 20 then pick up the bikes and start riding on Friday the 22d.
We have a general route to follow but will probably take some liberties if we see somewhere we want to stop, or somewhere we want to blow through. Although we're a bit older now, we're going to try to camp in some of the parks (I'll be curious how long this holds up).
Couple questions for you--do you know of a good camping supply store where I can get a light tent and bag? Just so I don't have to haul everything to Perth on the trip over.
Talk to you soon...Jack
