The past two days have been easy riding and very relaxing days, no tight schedule and no need at all for early starts. Left Gladstone and headed for Bundaberg to see where they brew that Bundaberg Rum. It had been many years since I was in Bundaberg. As all these places, it really has changed and little to nothing I remembered. Had lunch and left for Tin Can Bay, the roadwork’s became less and travelling was much more pleasant. Coming into Tin Can Bay and taking a turn down along the waterfront it was clear why my old friend [more]

Today was a very hard start after last nights mammoth drinking session with Jim and Snake. Today we left at 9am, the latest start since we left Sydney some five weeks ago. Leaving Cairns we could not help but notice the green, so much of it compared to what we have bad been seeing in the past weeks. We rode almost non stop to Townsville where we stopped and had lunch and dropped into see Craig from Remote Area Divers. After a good [more]

We were up at around 5am this morning, thinking of getting an early start with all intentions of going up to Karumba north of Normanton, north mid Queensland. It was a bit frustrating as we needed a little oil and the service station although awake, lights on and several staff, they would not sell us anything till 6am, not even if they were ready.

Leaving Katherine at around 6am we travelled south on our way to Three Ways before turning left to head towards the Queensland border, not knowing how fare we would go today, just simply, “playing it by ear”. [more]

All loaded up and ready to head off at 6:30am, Broom here we came. The decision to go to Broom on the back of a trailer was simply because Port headland was not a place to go and pick up a spare part or a tool from a hardware store… [more]

We left Albany and headed to Denmark to Manjimup, Bridgetown, Donnybrook and onto to Bunbury. On the way we went through some amazing forest, the Valley of the Giants, no time for the canopy walk unfortunately, but what … [more]

We decided as this would be one of our biggest days riding and we were leaving from Adelaide and there should be no wild animals to worry about for the first two hours, to leave at 5am. This turned out to be a mistake, not for the animals but for the freezing cold temperatures we would endure north of Adelaide. Anyone who said one, Australia is a hot [more]
