I saw a sign and the turnoff for Derby. (Along with another great Boab tree). I there’s a Derby in England, I wonder if they’re alike? I’ve only been to the one in the UK a couple of times, all I can remember is the pink coconut night club and the rollerdrome.

I’d asked a few locals about Derby and they said not go bother going. This would probably be my advice too, for the UK one!!

I safely passed the turnoff and continued on to Broome. The most remote city in Australia.

Looking at this picture you can see why people believed the world was flat. In fact there’s still a flat earth society! Australia has some stunning scenery, including some very long and flat grassy plains.

Riding into the sun each day is pretty tiring, especially the last hour or so as the sun drops low on the horizon. Thankfully I had an overcast day on the run into Broome, which helped to keep the temperature down. 34 degrees in the shade!

Even with the cloud it managed to present me with an acceptable sunset. Alone on that highway, I didn’t see another vehicle for a couple of hours.

Riding into the sunset = brilliant!
