Day 8 – Winton to Porcupine Gorge Don’t panic! Just about all packed up this morning and I couldn’t find my keys. They were no where to be found and the more I looked the easy was to panic … but they had to be here. Everything was pulled out and unpacked. Still no where…
Day 7 – Longreach to Winton Today was all about dinosaurs and a recent (ish) discovery of dinosaur bones by a farmer on his property over 20 years ago. What has spawned from this seems to be the dinosaur capital of Australia. This morning was an earlier morning as we wanted to leave by 8:30…
Day 6 – a bit of history in Longreach Today was another non-ride day and a chance to check out Longreach. As we really only have one day we habe to choose what we want to do as we just can’t do everything. And Covid adds a level of complexity as things are often run…
Day 5 – Charleville to Longreach Today we had over 500km to get to Longreach and like clock work we rolled out of our campsite at 9am. Our first stop was Augathella which for Australians over 50 is the town where the kid (Didy ‘Smiley’ Creevey) that the character “Smiley” was based on. 2008 was…
Day 4 – non-ride day After a lazy morning and a late breakfast in town we checked out what Charleville has to offer. And we were surprised that it had quite a lot and now than our one day can fit in. Painted water tower Painted by the same artist as the Cunnamulla water tower…
Day 3 – Bourke to Charleville We are getting into the rhythm of pitching and packing up our setup. I was worried that the bigger tent was going to be a hassle, especially for the overnight stops, but it really hasn’t. And the benefit of the bigger tent far out weighs the disadvantages. Setting off…
Day 2 – Trangie to Bourke At dawn there was an absolute cacophony of noise with galahs everywhere. I don’t think I’ve ever seen this many in one place … with trees loaded with them. Today was a going to be an easy ride day with around 300km. This will put us at Bourke a…
Well this is us not going to Hawaii. This year’s Stampin’ Up! trip is in Maui at the same location as last year’s cancelled trip. By the end of October each year we have to make a call as to whether we are going to take up the option for the trip the following year…
When we head out camping on the bike we only pack our Luci lights which are a great solar rechargeable general light for around the camp, and our headlamps. We were recently put onto Knog headlamps which are a great headlamp and will be going into our kit for our next trip.
Free camping has become much easier with today’s battery technology. But how do you leverage that for moto-camping. Power stations are a great option as they are portable all encompassing unit that provides everything you need in the one unit.
