FRN#1-Day 4 Longreach
Well the winds blew last night like Calamity Janes “Windy City” but the little tent stood fast. It was freezing though. I had to get up and put half my wardrobe on to keep warm……(Kimmo – hippo pj’s fashion statement, well I did better….lol). Somebody decided to leave the TV on in their motor home …

FRN#1-Day 3 Longreach
Note to self – don’t stop in Augathella again. Up and packed had to get some help with the ratchet strap then off (a little later than planned again). It’s cold this morning but I thought it would get warmer the further north I headed – was I mistaken. The wind had some strength and …

FRN#1-Day 2 Augathella
Did I sleep well in the tent – not to bad until 5:00am when Neville the neighbouring dog decided to bark non-stop for the next hour and a half….argh!! Never mind I got up and started to pack which took me way longer than I expected. I suppose cos everything was wet and sandy and …

FRN#1-Day 1 Lightning Ridge
I’m going to work today backwards so I don’t forget things…… After a long days ride I arrived in Lightning Ridge at around 4:30pm – totally exhausted, it was a hard days ride. The last 60 kays from Walgett to Lightning Ridge were the scariest kays I think I have ever done. I almost thought …

Tintaldra 2014 – fully sick!
Since Tuesday I’ve had a headache and come Thursday it was all too much for me. It was doubtful I was going to Tintaldra this year. However in true Kimmie fashion, I mustered the internal fortitude and got up and Karl and I headed off on our merry way. We had Bambi meeting us at …

Karuah River Rally 2014
Karuah River Rally – courteous of the BMW Touring Club of NSW was as good as any off road adventure to get my feet wet (well dirty) on (besides Karl recommended it would be an easier one for me to start with). So with all the camping gear sorted and both bikes packed up we …

Nambucca Heads = a time to see mates that I only to get to see once a year….and it’s here at this location on this FarRide, that’s enough of a reason to get out for a ride for me.

Oxley Squirt
Overnighter to Long Flat, sensational idea! Alas, it is only the 3 of us though – Karl, Paul & me. This’ll be Daisy’s first real road (teething) trip. We’ve, well Karl has done a bit to her, I’ve done the pretty stuff and think I’ve figured out the packing for a trip (in particular a …
