08/11/25 - Flying From Albany to Busselton

We weren't sure we were up to the drive from Albany to Busselton. It was a four and a half hour drive, and it looked like the first two or so hours were through wild country. It wasn't the desert outback. The drive was largely through forest, but there didn't seem to be a lot of gas stations or much of anything. We suspected that cell phone service was sparse.

Instead, we chartered a small plane and flew. It was very comfortable, and we slept part of the way. There were sleep inducing clouds and calming scenery.

When we arrived in Busselton, it was to discover the rental car counters deserted. It was luck that we could push the automatic door open and make our way to the facilities. The desks were only manned when scheduled flights arrived or departed, and we had arrived at an awkward hour.

The car rental people, when they arrived after a modest wait, handled us efficiently. We left Busselton and made our way to to Yallingup.
