Well said Stef. I agree with the comments made ( well most of them ) and also agree that it was a bit of fun doing this blog, but it did give people an idea of where we were and what we were doing. It was a great way to keep in touch. The bottom line is that this is a BIG country and this trip was about going for a ride- but it did give us many places that we will go back to one day and have a look at properly. As for the next ride - I think we will find m...

As the time has now come for the final leg of my journey, I feel that anti climax feeling I always seem to have each time I know a trip is coming to an end. It is also the time when I start to wonder where to head next. Each trip being more daring or extravagant. Ria and i were standing beside our bikes when a couple of blokes walked our way to the German registered bikes beside us. We now know them as Peter ffrom Bavaria and Thomas from Berlin. Our initial ...

It was terrible to wake up after a good nights sleep to sound of heavy rain. The trip had been good to us but it was a dampner on the last day to have to ride to Devonport under a black cloud (literally).

Our plan was to go to the Cataract Gorge located in the centre of town before heading back to get on the boat. We jumped on the bike and refuelled and h...

Last big day to ride before we finish at Launceston for our last night. Having loved every minute we decided to ride up the east coast road the long way for a 400 klm day. We jumped on the bike in Port Arthur at around 8.15am and headed off. the only issue was that we had very little fuel left. I last fuelled the bike in Strahan and had 60 klms left in the tank. Now we found out there was no fuel in in Port Arthur. We rode cautiously out of town and back to...

Hobart to Port Arthur is a short journey. It was a lazy take off from the Hotel and still the weather was holding up nicely. Again driving out of the big city proved no issue. Straight down the road and left. Over the big bridge and that was it. 110 k's an hour all the way. It didn't take long for Tassie to put the goods on as far as scenery. It is totally green and picture perfect everywhere we seem to go. I won't dis Tassie ever again. Just the people ...
