Hilarious Town Names

The most noticeable part of the trip for me were the town names. They are hilarious, if you've ever been to outback Australia you'll know what I mean. The first on the trip for me was Iron Knob which I passed it on the bus trip out to the red center and then I passed it a few days later on the long return trip. Then a few days later I passed Cockburn (apparently it's pronounced Co-burn) but this was a photo opportunity I couldn't pass up.

Their were few less significant ones like Conabarabran and Nevertire but they didn't refer to things that (in the mind of a 14 year old boy) are funny.

Arriving at Ceduna

We arrived at Ceduna at around 8pm so we were pretty buggered but hungry at the same time. We were driven through the center of Ceduna to an RSL on the other side of the town where we met up with the riders (Jack & Dad) and the rest of the support crew (Ange, Mum, Neil, Spud and Emily) who were all leaving the morning after except for Neil and Mum.

We had arrived just to late for mains so we decided to have a big dessert. YAY. We had converstions about things that weren't G rated so they didn't make it to the Perth to Paradise Website.

They were also pretty tired so they took us back to the scout hall where they had spread everthing everywhere.


We had made ourselves at home and we had decided that we should bypass the bed-time story and skip straight to the fun part........ sleeping. But within a minute of lying in bed trying my hardest to fall asleep their was a loud banging noise and I just looked up in time to see dad slip from one portable bed to another and come crashing down onto the floorboards. Once we finished laughing we decided that we would call it a night....again!
