Trip is public. No speed data shown but we're a good boy so won't be getting carried away anyway.

I'm on the German STeed. The  :blk13 is having a rest.

Don't forget that there's a "Shed-Fed-Bed" here in southern Adelaide if it fits in with your plans.   :thumbs

Woolloongong to Jindabyne today after Brisbane to the gong yesterday.
Tomorrow it's off to Corryong  and Omeo with several options after that.
Might end up in Bright or Myrtleford or Sale.

Sorry Terry. Ended up in Dinner Plain as Bright and Omeo were fully booked out.
It was a hell of a ride over the Alpine Road from Jindabyne to Khancoban then just a insane if not more from Mitta Mitta up to Omeo.

Some of the greatest motorcycle roads I've experienced are in the Snowy's.    I rode that region a few years ago with a mate from England.   He's ridden all over the world inlcuding NZ, all through Europe and North America, and reckons the riding we did was the best in he world.

Yesterday started out at a crisp Minus 3 up at Dinner Plain and pretty much stayed cool for most of the day as I made my way out to Swan Hill. I had intentions of crossing over into SA at Pinnaroo but fell in a heap when I got off at Swan Hill. After a bad night's sleep on a rock hard bed and being sunburnt and so very sore after the previous days ride I decided to push on up the road bit more to Tooleybuc.

Back home after spending the night in Renmark after leaving the RTE lunch in Freeling then another night in Dubbo.

It's good to be back in my own comfy bed. I'll upload more pics later.

This is what trip looked like :

I live 30-odd ks south of that spare tyre on the highway.

Maybe...maybe not. It is 30-odd ks of sometimes loose dirt. But I do have a trailer and a shed if needed. And tools.
