I'll say that I have been in contact with bikes since the age of 7 yrs of age!
Lots of dirt back then and a couple of road bikes.
Had a huge break in- between and got back to bikes a 3 years ago!
Went to QLD in Feb '07, man it's was a long trip! Did it alone! The weather in the north is wild! But is was an experience!
Did most of TAS in Feb this year! (let me tell you that the weather was more wild) 2700km worth of adventure! We started off with a plan but that didn't last long!
Everywhere we went there was no accommodation!

Had to rough it at "New Norfolk" but thank the big man upstairs that it didn't rain!
Too much to tell in one reply!
I will add as I go!
