BAWLEY
I took the new Triumph out of Canberra on its maiden run, pointed straight for the Clyde. The mountain peeled itself open one bend at a time, bitumen smooth, traffic the usual mix of farm trucks, hooligans and holidaymakers. The weather was perfect, and the freedom of two wheels had me grinning under the Arai.
By the time I rolled through Mollymook and its surrounds, the heat was savage. The kind that slow-cooks you inside a jacket, draws the sweat out of your bones.
I stopped at Bawley Point for a cold drink and a look around. Peaceful. Nostalgic. Tucked away. Big old trees standing guard like they’d seen a few things and kept quiet about it.
From there I chased the coastal road through pretty hamlets. Eucalyptus thick in the air, a whiff of the tropics riding shotgun. Firewood stacked honestly by the roadside. Furniture sheds. Handwritten free eggs signs nailed crooked to posts. Small coastal lives half-hidden in palm and shade, fortunate enough to fall asleep to the whoosh and crack of the sea.
And that sea.
No polite rinse.
All salt.
