An invitation was extended to me & Karl of course from friends of OzSTOC (ST owners club of Australia) for a RTE to Gulargambone. Â You say where??? Gulargambone! Never heard of it, you puttin’ me on….lol. Well they weren’t and I was looking forward to catching up with some friends I haven’t seem in nearly …

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 …

After hours of deliberation I decided to register for my very first FarRally RTM-o5….oh my goodness what have I done! Some many questions are asked and tips, hints and answers are provided. Now what to do with it all. To Basecamp, Google Earth or not – that is the question. I know first world problems…lol …

My favourite ride on the calender and it only comes around once a year. Work is a distant memory Friday morning when I awake and get ready in record time to hit the road with my Sweety Karl. Travelling with my favourite fella to my favourite place….what more could a girl ask for 🙂 We …

So this FarRide I tried to make sure that other than having Daisy in good condition, my head space was, well, better prepared than in recent times.

To go to Darwin River to have lunch with friends…….well why wouldn’t you! Any normal person would do that – right? Well maybe not but that’s what FarRiders do. This was in itself going to be an enormous ask of myself and one that I thought I had in hand. However as it turned out …

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 …
