Now before I start, dumb dumb here forgot to set the clock on the camera to daylight savings time *face palm*, so you’ll see things are a little askew in the time department. 12:01pm with a start docket firmly packed into the wallet, Dudley & I are off on his first FarRide. Up Bells Line …

After a DNF at RTM-05, I thought I’d have another crack at a Rally……….what was I letting myself in for this time. RTM-06 was a purely QLD based scavenger hunt and with no local knowledge, had I bitten off more than I could chew? Thursday after work I headed out in the pouring rain to …

So close to home, how could I not register for this one – kinda a no brainer!! Phil Harris noticed it’d registered and asked if I’d mind having someone along for the ride and it would give him the opportunity to see how some of us plan our trips. Obviously, it wasn’t a problem and …

Now you’re probably wondering how I loaded all those missing photos……..well I found my camera this morning when I was making the bed….LOL. It must’ve fallen out when I dumped everything. I’m going home, I’m going home – were the thoughts I had last night before closing my eyes and drifting off. This morning I …

What great hospitality at The Kwaka Lodge. Angel even got to sleep under cover last night (a real treat). Another 7:30am start after breakky with my lovely hosts Baz & Liz. We say lots of good-byes and take advantage of getting that extra hug in before I head out the drive. Baz warns me of …

This morning I woke up with sleep in my eyes (first time since leaving home), must’ve had a good rest. Angel’s front tyre is low on air so off to the Port Augusta Mobil servo but wait – NO air available – WHAT?? Down the road to Mr Shell and he has digital and working …

It was cold last night but I was tucked up nice and warm in a comfy bed thanks to Marla’s Traveller’s Rest and even better managed to get a great nights sleep. Awake early again, I just get ready and hit the road. If I didn’t know better I’d say there was snow in the …
