Well, here I am at the other end. Every day was a joy. The bike was a dream machine. The lap I did was 17,500k’s and took 45 days. I was pretty happy with the time of year and direction I chose. I felt vindicated with my choice having the strong tail wind most of …

Day 45
The last day. A great way to start any day with a nice sunny morning ride down Thunderbolts. I stopped at the lookout, and looked out. I sat there for maybe 45mins. . It was a great spot to just take it in and think about things for a sec. 1 more fuel stop and …
Day 44
Woke this morning knowing it was pretty much the last day. As I was preparing, in no hurry, I mentioned to the Motel owner what I had just done and was about to finish. He was a bit chuffed that his was my last stop and he wiped my bike down for me with a …
Day 43
I rode off this morning knowing I was riding into my last night. I didn’t want it to end. I just want to keep riding. When I got to Nyngan I decided to go a little bit north. Rather than go to Sydney via Dubbo, I decided to head to Tamworth and onto Walcha for …
Day 42
Woke this morning and realised it was day 42. As per original plan, I’m supposed to be home. Living the dream kind of got away from me. Port Augusta became my next target and then to cut through to Broken Hill. It was pretty windy with dust and bits of bush rolling all over. I …
Day 41
About 3 hours into it I reached a fork in the road at Ceduna and decided to stick to the coast, thinking I might go to Port Lincoln. I turned off the Eyre and onto the Flinders Hwy. Made it as far as Port Kenny, which just happened to be near a seal colony.
Day 39 – 40
Today was a short run to Nullarbor Roadhouse only 400k’s away. It’s also the other end of the Nullarbor. At times, the road is quite close to the Bight and makes for a couple of scenic stops. With temps in the low to mid 20’s and a strong tail wind all the way, conditions were …
Day 38
The Nullarbor beckoned and it was back to the start of it at Norseman Roadhouse. There are all sorts of travellers here and its quite busy. As I was leaving and rolling onto The Eyre Highway, with a strong westerly blowing from behind me, I got a friendly wave from what I would guess to …
Day 37
The plan today was to start the Nullarbor. A short 2 hr ride to Norseman and that was the beginning. When I reached Norseman, I saw the sign for Kalgoorlie which was only another 190k’s, so thinking I was was this close, decided to head there. A mining town with plenty of ute’s and Harley’s …
Day 36
I’d heard that Esperance was worth a look so that’s where today took me. Turns out it is a really pretty place. It has a reefs and islands just off shore and a great little road to ride around and see it all on.
