Perth Adventure Riders’ Mid West Or Bust (MWOB) has just run for its sixth consecutive year. Tiger MacCarthy has the story.

Lined up on the beach at Port Gregory on the final day.

MWOB 2021 kicked-off with a good mixture of riders, including many repeat offenders, but also a large selection of newcomers keen to see what all the fuss was about. Over 30 hombres left their home bases around the Whadjuk Noongar* nation (Perth) and headed for the kick-off.

The eight-day trip struck out north from Jambinu (Geraldton), took a right at Galena bridge, and then hit the dirt and headed for Murchison Oasis for the first overnighter. The destination for the second night was Gascoyne Junction and, after a night in the pub, everyone would make their way past Mundatharrda (Kennedy Ranges) on the way to Burringurrah (Mt Augustus). Day four would hit Dooley Downs Road, a perennial favourite, and head for a two-night stopover at Cheela Plains Station near Paraburdoo. After being pampered at the station, the riders would wind their way back south with an overnight stop again at Burringurrah before meeting friends at Murchison Oasis for a final night at Northbrook Farm Stay.
