Special K’s Camping Holiday 2013
Annual leave is booked but I have had my doubts that Karl & I would actually get away (the reason is a whole other story). Anyways, Saturday 29th Dec arvo rolls around and Karl says “guess what, we are going tomorrow”! YIPPEE!!! Oh no, I still have washing, ironing, packing and stuff to do. Frantic …

Carving up the Oxley 12
Prelude Weekend prior I purchased a Garmin Zumo 660 GPS, updating the Aldi GoPro I’d grown used to – very easy to use (read Kimmie proof here). So with another friend Phill headed to Breakfast Torque and then onto Robbo Pie Shop using the Zumo with the pre-programmed route I’d set. Well to say it …

BDR 2012 – Comes to a close
Well I arrived home on Thursday afternoon at 5:30pm (a bit later than I had expected), with some 7229.4 kays travelled in the 13 days (average 556.1 kays per day). I could’ve ridden for more to be honest. When an event finishes and you start to head home it does seem to take ages, but …

Updated Days 4,5 & 6 with pics
I’ve finally updated days 4, 5 & 6 with the missing photos. Sorry it took so long, but it actually takes a while to resize all the pics, then upload them to photobucket before loading them into the blog (which takes longer than I thought) and then resizing them again, so thanks for your patience. …

BDR Day 12 Barcaldine – Bourke
Yep, well it was supposed to be Cunnamulla, but you’ll have to wait to see why. OK, so in yesterdays update I forgot to tell ya’s all about the road kill. The FarRider forum was a great help in preparation for this ride including advising me of the dangers certain sections of road may hold. …

BDR Day 10 Tennant Creek – Cloncurry
Another beautiful morning, we have truly been blessed this trip so far. Anny needs fuel before we can head off, so as I wait for her I watch the sun rise. Bit of wind today but that’s ok. Not far up the road and there are cows on the side of the road, gotta love …
