Wow, and we thought culling the pictures from Western Australia was difficult, South Australia proved even harder!!! SA definitely gave us some of our most treasured memories of the whole trip and some of the big milestones. Perhaps it struck a cord because we were getting closer to family, or maybe it’s because we are both born and bred in this...
Busily trying to prepare for our next adventure in Vietnam but not wanting to lose the glow of achievement after completing our 7000 km cycling tour across Australia we thought we’d try and do a best of pics collection. Not going to happen. Just too many to choose from…so now we’ll try and give you the top ten memories for...
Somewhere along the line we’d both envisaged this day. It was our last ride. The final ride of a trip that has crossed a continent on bicycles newly purchased in Perth. A ride that chalked up our 7000th km and would be our final leg of 3 transcontinental journeys. In the last 2 years we’ve completed Trans-Asia, Trans-Africa and now...
After resting??? up in Port Macquarie for three nights we planned in an extra long ride for our first day back on the bikes, 115km through to Nambucca Heads would be the longest ride since the Nullarbor, so many months ago. Thankfully the road was pretty flat and we had good winds. When we hit the awesome surface of the...
We spent a great week enjoying the good company of family and the surf culture of Manly in Sydney as we planned the final assault on Brisbane. As luck would have it the Hurley Australian Open Surf and Skate Carnival was being played out only metres from where we were staying. We were treated to a continuous procession of boards,...
Not before time, we finally got to send almost 8 kgs of our winter gear on to Brisbane, so with fresh legs, a tail wind and a big load off, the hills on the way to Ulladulla didn’t seem nearly as hard as those before Bateman’s Bay. Still 55km took us just over 3 hours and we were glad to...
We thought once we’d made it through the South East of Victoria that we’d be hill fit and ready to roll. I had high hopes of making Sydney by the end of January, averaging just over 70km a day. Surely after almost 6000km we were bike fit….How naïve was I. The hills of the South Coast of NSW were ready...
Well we literally did “chill” in Lakes Entrance. With the heat wave breaking several records all over Victoria we holed up in the unexpected air conditioning, venturing out, only in the cool of the evening to visit the various social hotspots around town… We had planned it well again. Our biggest worry was a bushfire near Cann River that had...
So many of our friends and family seem to be heading to the USA just lately. We haven’t been there yet but New York is definietly up there on our Bucket List. So…taking time out from documenting our cycling tour across Australia, I decided to do a bit of research on what some of our Partners have on offer. As...
With mended legs from our day off in Warragul, a tailwind and a huge shoulder on the highway, the 56km ride to Traralgon couldn’t have been more different to the one to Warragul just two days before. There were a couple of hills to get out of town but then it was flat and fast all the way. The big...
