Well after epic planning, and miss planning, the day is almost upon me where I squeeze myself into that big silver bird and fly over to the other side, or underside, of the world.
The plan such as it is.........................
Fly to Perth. Hire bike, a BMW 700 GS, and head up the Great Northern Highway to Newman before turning left to Karijin National Park. Then its on to Exmouth and back down the coast with a detour to Hyden to see wave rock before returning to Perth and handing the bike back.
Then its more flying to Darwin and back to Perth to pick up the bike again. Head down to Margaret River and Augusta before heading along the southern coast to Esperance. From there its head a bit north before turning right and crossing the Nullarbor Desert and into the Flinders Ranges. Down to Adelaide for Christmas and then the Grampians national park before the Great ocean Road to Melbourne for the New Year. Hand the bike back and relax with friends for a while before the long slog back to the cold UK and work.
The question is, will I make it and avoid encounters with kangaroos, emus, cattle, horses, camels, crocodiles, snakes, spiders, road trains............................why the hell am I going ?
Pictures and report when internet connection allows.
