Hyden to Esperance

I spent today riding. Around 400 km. The only really interesting thing was when I was riding up a hill and suddenly a bright yellow aeroplane launched up from behind the hill right in front of me. It was a single propellors plane on its side doing an almost loop. It was really close and really cool. I think maybe it was crop dusting because it flew back across a field and pulled another turn back towards the hill again.

I also tried to take a photo of some sheep in a field. I startled one and the whole lot took off. So I got a photo of a big flock of sheep stampeding.
I must've looked lonely. 


Esperance seems nice. There isn't a whole lot to differentiate these coastal towns. It has an esplanade and a strip of shops. A few petrol stations and a McDonald's. I'm at a redneck caravan park for 2 nights. Tomorrow I'll day trip to Lucky Bay, about 60km away.

The bike was surging again today. Almost as badly as before. There is also a whining noise coming from somewhere that continues when I pull the clutch in. Maybe from the front wheel. I'll oil the chain again and see what happens with the surge. It's got me a bit worried.
