Ride safe. Jason, keep us posted, I'll add to the map.
May not be the actual route taken, but will give others an idea of your progress.

jf3000 · « **Reply #54 on:** November 23, 2014, 12:05:25 PM »

I'm here at the moment.

I just came through that was 2 days ago. The road does get more fun after Grafton, but I was tempted to take the Bruxner Highway and go inland as have not done the full length for ages. Must be a bit warm at the moment.

whoops, a bit ahead of myself...coastal or inland route?

OK. I can see the resemblance to to Avtar...

Coastal. storm brewing. I'm prepared this time.

jf3000 · « **Reply #59 on:** November 23, 2014, 03:44:53 PM »

No idea where I am other than exhausted. Can see rain but haven't rode into it yet.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #60 on:** November 23, 2014, 04:05:18 PM »

Doing well, mate.. a bit over 400 Km travelled.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #61 on:** November 23, 2014, 05:09:20 PM »

Goodonya Jason. Unless there is another Big Bannana somewhere, you are clearly in Coffs Harbour. I'm guessing that 400km is your longest day yet, so knowing how you have pulled up after today will help you plan your next few days. Keep us posted, and thanks Kev for the map updates.

ST2UP · « **Reply #62 on:** November 23, 2014, 06:07:15 PM »

Well done Jason on your day one adventure

Didyou get some storms south of Coffs and are you stopped for the night or pressing on

jf3000 · « **Reply #63 on:** November 23, 2014, 07:08:39 PM »

I have arrived to the Astor Motel in Port Macquarie. Today I've done close too 540klms. Yes this is the longest I have done. Doing same amount of klms tomorrow heading to Goulburn. Thanks for the support. South Australia look out the jf is coming.

After seeing the storms and it spat about 30 drops on me and wearing all that wet weather gear my shirt was more wet than me on the outside. Saw the storms. Didn't hit me. Staying the night. Getting sleep then hitting the road early.

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #65 on:** November 23, 2014, 07:50:32 PM »

Well done, Jason... about 540k ... a good nights rest, and see you on the move again tomorrow.

Goulburn is around 570 k ahead. By the way... Kew servo, 30 k from Port Mac has some ah..unique... souvenirs of your travels.
Its only a minor deviation. 200 metres. Tees, singos, and lots of other items... I have several...
They also have a Far Coff range...

jf3000 · « **Reply #66 on:** November 23, 2014, 07:58:57 PM »

Yeah. I hope the road is better and no more stoopid roadworks.

Gadget · « **Reply #67 on:** November 23, 2014, 08:18:36 PM »

From Port to Sydney there is very few road works and I can't remember seeing any from Sydney to the Goulbourn turnoff.

540 km is a good days riding.

Rest well and have another good ride tomorrow. Keep us posted.

Once you made it to Mt Gambier, you can start planning the return trip for the National Rally in toowoomba.

Too soon?

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #68 on:** November 23, 2014, 08:20:26 PM »

When you get closer, I will make an effort to meet you on the road.

jf3000 · « **Reply #69 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:25:50 AM »

Toowoomba?? WTF when is that.

jf3000 · « **Reply #70 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:29:16 AM »

Sure Kev. Is making an effort hard for you? Cos if I was playing wow that would be a big effort.

tj189 · « **Reply #71 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:48:17 AM »

good to see you are enjoying your journey

keep safe

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #72 on:** November 24, 2014, 09:57:48 AM »

I am guessing that you will be travelling the most direct route, Warrnambool / Port Fairy / Tyrendarra / Heywood on the way to Mt Gambier?, so its only half an hour for me to skip from here to say Hi as you are heading through. Toowoomba rally is in March.

jf3000 · « **Reply #73 on:** November 24, 2014, 12:53:48 PM »

March

Shiney · « **Reply #74 on:** November 24, 2014, 04:36:50 PM »

Congratulations on your first day mate
And I hope it's going even better today
