Day 7 – Elliston Sightseeing
Good morning Elliston!! Had the best nights sleep last night in all the time I’ve been away. Nice and toasty in the tent. It’s true what they say about the gear you have though. I spent a little extra and bought a thermal sleeping sock and a new pillow and it is so well worth …

Day 6 – Ceduna to Elliston
Welcomed this morning by Robyn and Wally for breakfast after a sleep in (I think the first for the trip). Soon packed and I say farewell to them and I highly recommend that if you are in Ceduna some time, stop in and stay at the Ceduna Motor Inn. It’s another overcast morning but I …

Day 5 – Border Village to Ceduna
Woken this morning by the sounds of rumbling exhausts of my fellow riders departing for their respective homes or adventures and the sound of rain. Guess it had to happen eventually.

How to get Home…
With The Ginger Factory FarRide complete the task was now to head home. Now Smurfette and I were planning on a camping weekend with our friend Saltpyxis (but due to circumstances Saltpyxis couldn’t attend 🙂 ) at Mt Warning Rainforest Resort.

FRE #45 The Ginger Factory
Another day and another start to the FarRiding weekend. Smurfette asked if she could come out for a ride this time cos it’s been so long since the last one. Sure thing – no problem….it’s not like she packs a lot (especially for a girl). Docket in hand and begins the fight to get out …

Time with a Legend
Not many people can say they go riding to faraway places with their dad….well I can! With the Lightning Ridge ride complete dad and I were on a mission set by The Mother to purchase a “special” piece of prettiness. Armed with tools to complete the job, dad and I embarked on this mission full …
