I don't have a Spot, and hence feel a little inadequate.
But, if anyone (who is on Facebook) wants to track me, I check-in every opportunity I can - morning coffees, lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, etc ........
Regardless, probaby better than Nigel, not sure if he even knows what a Spot is.

I use Bubbler on my Android phone.
It uploads when I'm next in phone coverage, as does Stimpy, hence he 'disappeared' for 3 days.

Downloaded the app blubber GPS lite, but only get blank black page when open. Is it the right Blubber? There is a $15 blubber also. Can't seem to get any connection or link with Spotwalla.
Advice appreciated.

I bought the pro, but lite should work also. I know I had a bit of trouble before getting to work, but it did eventually.

If you follow these instructions on Spotwalla once you got it on your phone all should be good...$15 pro is a good investment...also remember Bubbler is mobile based not satellite so when out of range it won't send your track but will catch it up when back in mobile service

I'll be riding on those days, but I do like leaving the majority of my gear in my room and riding 'light'.

Lindsay has reached the ferry terminal, and Wendy is now in Coober Pedy.
(https://i.ibb.co/yFy2jFD/Lindsay.jpg)
(https://i.ibb.co/SBt1VrN/Wendy.jpg)
-
Wendy is now an hour travel south of Coober Pedy (marked in green as 91)
From memory, I think it's about 5+ hours from Coober Pedy to Pt Augusta, I am unsure where she will stop for the night?
(https://i.ibb.co/LCwh7J1/wendy.jpg)
-
Maybe Glendambo or Pimba depending on when she needs to fill up with gogomobile juice.
-
I think she may have refuelled at Coober Pedy, there was a short break there.
-
A 10 minute break at Glendambo, and Wendy is mobile again 15 minutes ago.
-
It was good to meet Kev this morning at Portland Macca's for a coffee. He's certainly very enthusiastic about getting his bike back on the road.
-
Thanks Lindsay, pleasure to meet you mate.
-
Wendy is now about a third of the way from Glendambo to Pimba.
(https://i.ibb.co/chfjFCm/Wendy.jpg)
-
Looks like Port Agutta is todays destination for Wendy, spot is 15 minutes old.
(https://i.ibb.co/1RSqNJL/Wendy.jpg)
-
My guesstimate is arrival at Port Augusta in around 30 minutes.
(https://i.ibb.co/wQRSmC8/wendy.jpg)
-
BOOM! She is in Port Augusta 15 minutes ahead of my estimate!
-
Just a short stop at the servo west of the bridge, and still going!
(https://i.ibb.co/HFCZTVX/Capture.jpg)
-
... and still going! - My estimate is 2,200 km since Daly Waters at 9.30 pm Friday night!
Spot is ten minutes old, she is passing Port Germain now.
(https://i.ibb.co/pnwyRgF/wendy.jpg)
-
... and now passing Port Pirie, half way to Crystal Brook, heading for who knows where.
Time for this little black duck to head for bed, as its freezing here!
-
Adelaide would be my guess. I think she has family there.
-
Now taking a break at Port Wakefield. Arrived there 4 hours ago.

You may as well. You can't check in anywhere local when you get off the boat so if you've had a good night's sleep you may as well hit the road for a day. I chose to explore the south and slowly head north.

Sadly, they do. I've replanned via the Newell because the Pacific is cut in the Taree area after reopening last night. It might be open again by late morning, but I can't take that chance.

Just saw the Pacific is cut at Wardell now.

Wouldn't you know it! The Legacy tunnel was closed, then when I got onto the Ipswich motorway the signs said the Cunningham Hwy was closed at Aratula due fires. At least the lovely Toowoomba bypass was open and the roos were behaving themselves on the Gore and Newell hwys.
-
The OZSTOC rides SPOTlink is still active following my post-run ride.
I got away a bit before 9:00 after saying farewell to the few remaining campers. The best route took me up over yesterday's mountain (as per Bodo) but I didn't have to contend with any logging trucks. It was horribly windy up on the plateau and I was glad to descend to Bothwell for a late coffee/early lunch.
I didn't encounter rain until Maydena, but then it was continuous drizzle and blustery wind to Gordon Dam. All my photos of the dam have raindrops on the lens.
Back in the National Park Hotel now with my gear drying on the electric heater. The bike is under cover in a big shed- the first time it's been sheltered this trip (apart from the ferry). I can highly recommend tnis pub. For $70 you get a nice room with bed, fancy soaps, lounge chair, cupboard, bedside table and heater. There is a very good kitchenette with real milk for beverages and biscuits laid on. The restaurant menu is very good and fairly priced.
Tomorrow I'm off to explore whatever there is in Launy that I haven't seen before then overnight and work towards the ferry.
Spotwalla has gone weird- it initialises in Nashville, which I believe is the home of Jason Jonas, the SPOTWalla guru, then stops down south before Strathgordon. It will be interesting to see what it does tomorrow. I'll probably turn it off when I get to Launceston.
-
Jason did announce an update to occur Sunday 17th so people may need to make some adjustments or send him a message to let him know then he'll fix it...
-
The new Spotwalla map is better as the tracks follow the roads rather than straight lining between points.
When first loaded though, it starts in Nashville.

I’m tucked up in my motel room in the aircon. Bike is repacked ready for a very early start.
Aim is to get to Ceduna and wait for the expected cold change.
Glen and Theresa are elsewhere, making their own way home at a more leisurely pace.

What a difference a day makes.
Yesterday
11.5deg somewhere around Kimba.
40deg by the time I reached Ceduna
Waited 6 hours.
I left Ceduna just after 4pm.
Reached 48deg as I passed Penong.
A dramatic cool change about an hour after I left Ceduna, dropping around 20deg.
By the time I reached Nullarbor, it was around 18deg. Still blowing crazy S/W.
Today cruisy 14deg to 28deg with gentle breeze.
All unpacked and washing sorted
Grandkids came over
Showered
Bike cleaning tomorrow :thumbs

Wendy left Cranbourne this morning around 7 am and has been mobile for 14 hours now.
She is currently north of Port Pirie and roughly a half an hour or less from Port Augusta.
So far today she has ridden close on 1,000 km to her present position. Truly inspiring.

She is now in Port Augusta proper as of 10 minutes ago.

Wendy is now well north of Coober Pedy, Passed through there an hour ago.

Bodø, are there any roads left there that you have't ridden yet ... or are you now riding the footpaths just for diversity? :rofl

I gave up on the B11, but plotting courses of entirely new roads is getting difficult.

I see that you have ridden the A10 a couple of times, now THAT is a great ride!

I had a chance meeting with PC and Navgirl on that and ended up joining them and Phil S. for lunch.

Appears that she has pulled in at Ti Tree, fifteen minutes after my last post. 1400 Km today. Well done!

An early start, Wendy is already an hour up the highway towards Tennant Creek.

Bodø is already cruising again (always an early rider) ... now approaching Forth Road for the eighth? time :grin

Cerebral Knievel is heading north from Broadford already past Seymour.

Things change so much in 2 hours.
Bodø found another untraveled road, Cerebral Knievel is almost at Albury, and Wendy had a pause at BP north Tennant Creek.
Ride safe.

I’m ok, tyre issues have resulted in me pulling the pin on my planned Centreline and call in the support vehicle/trailer. The heat and rough roads have taken their toll and my rear tyre is unlikely to make it safely to Darwin. I’m continuing north while my daughter drives south.

Wendy was attempting an IBA ride home, Centreline 36, but alas her rear tyre won't last the trip. Her daughter is Southbound from Darwin with the trailer and they will meet up at Daly Waters to return home safely.

Wendy is now only 30 km from Daly Waters, has ridden 350+km from Tennant Creek.

I know that feeling, like when you set off on a trip thinking I've got around 3,500km left in that rear tyre, and you find out (the hard way) that it was only 2,500km.
