Took a leisurely drive today down to Yarloop south of Perth to check out the British/American classic bike show at the Yarloop Hotel. Pretty good weather and a reasonable turnout along with the venue being a stopover point for the Classic Motorcycle Club rally. Participants took a brief break before heading off on the rest [...]
Paying $2.20 per litre for fuel, in the middle of nowhere with no other options, feels a little like being raped in the wallet. I’m sure it has something to do with the delivery distances or something equally as preposterous. Anyway, we kicked off the final day by being drained of all our pocket money [...]
Another dawn early start in Ceduna and today is the best leg of the journey yet. Although we’re in the middle of nothing the road section crosses the changing landscape of the Nullarbor, the edge of the Great Australian Bight, and the SA/WA border crossing. Needless to say today was the biggest day for photos! [...]
Au revoire Radelaide! We’re off for the first day in the desert. Bus packed and ready to roll we departed through the streets of Glenelg and northern Adelaide. The South Australian capital was still about the have the last laugh, a roadworks trench the depth of a moon crater snuck up on both of us [...]
I’ve driven the Great Ocean Road west of Melbourne six times before. Always from West to East in a comfy hire car. Usually it’s my post-Portland VW drag weekend trip back to NSW. Every time I’ve done the drive I’ve thought how great it would be to do in the splitty. This time was a [...]
Camped on the Great Ocean Road last night. What a sight to wake up to this morning. Australia is just tops!
Strangely enough didn’t shoot many pics today, just wanted to knock over a solid day’s driving. Left Canberra towards Yass and down the Hume. Hit a pretty heavy thunderstorm near Albury so stopped for some lunch and a nap. Continued on towards Melburg and ran in to the craziest weather front in Kalkallo. The rain [...]
Even a thousand kilometers away at a historic pub in Berrima, I look on the wall and bloody Grafton is still following me
A short stint today. The intention was to make it to Victoria but decided to catch up with close friends in Berrima for lunch which turned into a detour to Canberra for an overnight stop. It was good to mix up the driving days to relieve the monotony and gave me time to check out [...]
Spent last night til the wee hours packing and getting the bus ready. It’s the last day at Valla on the farm. Heading back to Perth for a couple of photo jobs but going via the south coast to Melbourne. Will also try to squeeze in the Great Ocean Road before heading up to [...]
