    The punt goes from the Westgate Park underneath the Westgate Bridge. It runs continuously all day from 10am until 5pm, unless it's too windy, and the crossing takes about 5 minutes

    Hi guys. I don't mean to plug any businesses, but considering Shaun's mishap with the tyres last time, I highly recommend if you need any accessories for your bikes to check out www.torpedo7.com.au. They have a great range of stuff, including instant patches which I found a much better than the cheaper ones with glue and peel patches. See you all soon!
