Day 1 was a travel day basically to the edge of the outback to Emerald, we stayed in an Irish club/ pub @ $69,
Swung unannounced into Timbos place for a coffee , then on the road again, 2 fuel stops had us cover the distance, cruising at around 13.7 k to the litre,
I’ve gone dark side for this run , using my outfit rear wheel, along with 750 diff revs have returned to OEM  just under 4000 @ 100 Kph


Day 2 started with eyeful of black crap on the rear wheel, looked like molly grease off the splines but smelt like  diff oil, a check up to come when we hit longreach.




Tonight sees us in Ilfracombe, at the Wellshot hotel. Back in the day an enormous sheep area, where you can stand in the middle of the highway and take a picture of the moon and not get hit by anything


The crystal trumpeters in Jericho, which today has the smallest running drive in theatre holding 32 cars


A badly timed brekkie shot

A picture from the top of the Drummond range with the layering of rock and stone

Tomorrow we cruise through the machinery mile in town and check out the old ruins of the shearing sheds, from the turn of the century

2 weeks out in western Queensland, we’re going out to the NT border for a photo, then back to Mt isa and we’ll decide left or right from there,
“We” are myself and Kimm, my new lady, she’s never been long distance on a bike and never been west, so date #4 let’s go on a 5000 klm bike ride, (as you do)

Bundy emerald tonight then out to Ilfracombe tomorrow
