Headed south to Wentworth where the Darling and Murray Rivers meet. Rode in to Mildura for another quick look around to see if I missed anything, I didn’t 🙂 My first visit into Victoria this trip, must get a photo of the border crossing next time. Wentworth is an interesting place, it is close enough […]
Spent time with my brother and his family camping on the Darling River at Kinchega National Park.
DD, Pockets and Mohawk left Macca’s on Tues morning. Great ride up Bucketts Way to Gloucester for morning tea. Then up Thunderbolts to Walcha stopping only when Pockets cleaned up a brush turkey. Thru to Uralla and quick lunch and internet at Armidale. A bit cool and the big Kwaka was using fuel at an […]
Joined the Broken Hill Branch of the Ulysses for a ride out to Penrose Park and then on to Silverton Pub for a John Holmes. They get a very good turn out. Just missed the Ghost Town Rally, apparently a very good roll up, 380 odd people although the weather was pretty ordinary. The ‘Bird […]
Joined the Argent Milk Bar Gang for a reunion today at the milk bar and then we went for a ride out to Little Topar Pub for lunch. Off to Silverton tomorrow with the Broken Hill Branch of the Ulysses club and then to the Demo Club to watch the NRL final and have a […]
Bit of a technical glitch (whole friggen’ server hacked by the #%*kers) Climbed Uluru, walked around it and then headed to the Olgas and did the ‘Valley of the Winds’ walk. Met another crazy motorbike rider, a nice young bloke named John Baxter who was on a similar journey. Rode to Coober Pedy and lived […]
Took the ‘Bird around to Desert Edge Honda and had a chat with the very helpful service manager who even knew what a Michelin was 🙂 but recommended I try Bridgestone Battlax BT 021 as they may be a bit longer wearing for my type of riding. Anyway, they had them in stock and so […]
Somehow managed to drag myself away from Tennant Creek and continued south down the Stuart towards Alice Springs. Using my amazing general knowledge of all things amazing to see in amazing Australia, I almost rode past the amazing ‘Devil’s Marbles’ but the big signs and bypass road sorta caught my eye. Just outside the ‘Marbles’ […]
Woke up early to try to fix my tent poles, what a job! I think I will throw the whole thing in the bin and buy a new one at Alice Springs. Packed the bike and went up to watch the dude feed the barra. Made the obligatory stop at Daly Waters Pub. Stopped for […]
Packed all the bits up at Jabiru (still filthy hot and tent pole broken again) and headed off down the return leg of the Kakadu Highway to Pine Creek and Katherine. Fuelled up and thought about where I was going, who cares? and headed to Mataranka. Staying at the same place as Briz and Ivan […]
