Wow, looks like a great adventure. You have some excellent photos on your blog, what camera do you use? What do you think of the HJC adventure helmet?

Hi Sue, sounds awesome, you've been busy doing a lot of stuff. No wonder we haven't seen you around here much lately.

Good for you Suzie, a well told story of a neat ride! I haven't been that far south, closest I got to where u been was Maree in SA, but that wide open desert country is mind boggling aint it! Really does make you realise our place in 'the scheme of things'.

I noted your experiences with outback folk, almost parallels my experience as well: I found everyone I met, be they fellow adventurer or local, to be friendly, outgoing and well found. You always felt that if you REALLY needed help, it would not be too far away or too long comming( exception is the Gunbarrell hiway).

I bet you are planning the next one now?

Bloomin' 'eck - that is a damned good read!!:niceone: Thanks for sharing it, I love the photo's and really enjoyed reading of your experiences.

I feel the stirrings of curiosity and am wondering if I would enjoy the experience.

Whats the next plan? :banana:

Hi

I took two cameras. A little Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3 that I carried in my jacket pocket for quick snaps and my Nikon D70s with a tele lens and macro lens along with the basic 24 - 80 lens. I enjoy photography and painting so to me it is important to have good camera gear.
Liked the helmet as it offered portection from the sun and being more open than the road helmet was cooler. All good really! Thanks :yes:

Hello and thank you.
Yes thinking about what next. unfortunatly my mind is able to think up more than I have time to do !! At present have thoughts of northern india into Ladakh by motorcycle, or Mongolia by (do not laugh) horse. And yes lots more to see in Australia. Really love the outback and want to do more there. How about you any more plans to ride more over there?

Pretty awesome ride :yes:
Very reminiscent of the solo ride that Michelle Birchall did back in the early 90s , a full circumnavigation of OZ on a XR250 :eek5:

Hi
Glad you enjoyed the story. I am sure you will totally enjoy the tour in the outback. I would recommend not going as I did in the heat of summer if possible, and keeping away from cities. Hope it all goes well for you.

You'll do them too I think! Hold onto those dreams, but not for TOO long!

Yes, I do plan to return to Oz next dry, say April '09, however I shall up the ante this time by taking my wife along as pillion! I saw so much that I know she will enjoy as well. She really wants to do a camel trek and has convinced me to get off the bike for 5 days and take a 'ship of the desert' for a trek out to lake Eyre!( She is an ex horse person!).

I won't hijack ur thread with my drivell, surfice to say, the bug has well bitten me!
