The B-Double Bike... And it's "pilot" Peter.

Now, in the Kimberley, you get used to the "odd" sights.

We have seem quite a few cyclists out in the middle of no-where, and most will have a trailer to carry goods and chattels.

This one was a doozy. It is the B-Double of bikes.

Peter tells me he has been on the road for 5 years, and in the"wet" he gets work to sustain him through the remaining part of the year.

The second trailer has been fashioned out of an old pram, and seems to work well. On his longer, hotter travels, he can carry 50 litres of water. He is equipped with a swag, tarp, groundsheet, chair, wireless shortwave radio, Trangia stove and other bits and pieces. He also has his own coffee maker...

It takes a special type to do this, and he is most interesting to talk to, and very engaging to boot.

Safe journeys Peter!!!

Peter, on his way, slowly, and with conviction. 40km a day...
