I had to be careful on the highway, especially in Northern Australia. On this particular day I had just started my journey south on the Great Northern Highway. Located in the Kimberley Ranges in Western Australia, it was a spectacular day's ride, despite the massive road trains that continually went past me travelling in either direction. This particular truck had 86 wheels, but wasn't the biggest that I saw on my ride.

I was halfway around Australia and definitely needed some time out to rest on my 14,000 kilometre odyssey. Broome seemed like a good spot and I wasn't disappointed with the beautiful coastal scenery. This is Cable Beach in Broome and the gorgeous sunset lasted for more than an hour as the sun slowly set over a tranquil, but stunning Indian Ocean.
