Arrived in Adelaide in the rain Monday afternoon, 8/22/22, end of the day, about 2 hours of cold, high traffic riding still on A1 all the way into the central business district and our Airbnb, which wasn’t ready to occupy at 2:00. Another high paced average speed, SCOTTY!!! We found a local Italian cafe who […]

Week three is done and dusted as Australians would say. I can only look back and think that the trip so far has been amazing. I’m not sure if I can fill in all the blanks on this last week but here goes.  Each day seems to start similarly, alarm set at 6:00 A.M. usually. […]

Saturday August 6th, rest day, first one of the trip. I really needed today. Like all adventures, there is adversity.

Wednesday July 27, 2022             Big driving day today, alarm at 6:00 A.M. but we are so close to the Western Australia border, maybe 100 meters, and there is a time change as soon as we cross the border, none of us I think, certainly not me, know what time it will be. Because we are […]

“A Week Today and it Starts” Quote from Bushy             There have been a variety of “starts” associated with this adventure and I suspect there will be more before Monday, Aug 1st when we leave Perth on bikes. Today, Monday the 25th, Scotty and I got a chance to visually experience the actual bike route, or at […]

Huge Thank you is due! I’ve had some time to acclimate to my home away from home for the next two months, yes, I said two months! What I do need to express is my sincere gratitude to Bushy and Scotty, my mates for this adventure. I’m really not sure how this trip really came […]

It’s Friday P.M. in Goulburn and just about all our bags are packed waiting to see if we can fit them, the bikes and the three of us inside the van. Tomorrow we plan to start the drive towards Adelaide, at least part of the way as it is about 14 hours to get from […]
