Mandurah Fish & Chip Ride - a Friday evening ride.

Then it's past beautiful Kwinana and along the tourist drive through the Rockingham waterfront and via Safety Bay back onto the main drag to Mandurah. The tourist bureau tell me there's still a chip shop on the Boardwalk and hopefully we can park the bikes somewhere out front. Enjoy the company, enjoy the cool of the evening (hopefully!) and then return to Perth via the freeway - or the long way round, if you feel so inclined.
