The rain was bucketing down and the wind was blowing it sideways as I tried to figure out how to repair and reassemble the exhaust I'd taken apart in the dark last night after a few beers. We were abl...

I awoke in the middle of the night and had to wander down the barely lit hallway of the late 1800's era hotel we were staying in to find the bathroom. It looked and felt so much like the Shining I was...

Today was a bit of a struggle for us. It started out nicely with some light rain and tight twisty corners down to Jenolan Caves. The caves exceeded our expectations with the road actually passing thro...

Our day began with breakfast at Roadies Cafe in Gloucester which caters to motorcyclists with their vintage bikes, helmets and racing photos all around the restaurant. They heard our sob story of miss...

My rock was still warm when I woke up and it was hard to leave it and my tent for the frigid morning mountain air. Everything was were we left it this morning so happy there weren't any thieves in Buc...

We got robbed....

With over six months passing from the last leg of the trip my packing was a bit rusty and I was still running around the house while Alicia was in the car waiting to drive me to the airport. I just ba...

I woke up early but was still feeling a bit "tired" from all the New Years Eve dancing so we had a sleep in and a leisurely pack up. We then rode to Bli Bli and hit up the cable park to start 2014 off...

The little tomato (Alicia) kept up much better today after my "Ketchup" story and has steadily got more comfortable and confident on her bike. We had a short ride ahead of us so we decided to detour t...

Tip of the day, knobby tires aren't predictable on a paved road. I've been working on my Tokyo Drift skills coming out of tight corners on the bitumen (pavement) but today it went a little too far and...

Today was a long hot ride and the bush fires up wind of us made it feel like we were being slow cooked in a smoker. I'm guessing I smelled similar to smoked salmon because Alicia insisted I shower bef...

We camped last night in a tropical caravan park with plenty of shade provided by the mango trees overhanging our spot. What we didn't realise is that the tree would fill up with flying foxes (Giant Ba...

Another leg of the journey and a new partner in crime. Alicia Evans, 5'9" Brown hair and Blue-Grey eyes and mean as a rattlesnake when she drinks. (I'm sure that will earn me a slap when she reads thi...

Hello everyone! we continue our journey!...

I woke up this morning earlier than Jason as usual and noticed a large pile of beer cans surrounding his tent. Some sort of strange wind and beer magnetism effect had all the previous nights beers blo...

There are plenty of animals to kill you in Australia such as Salt Water Crocodiles, Great Whites, Bull Sharks, Brown Snakes, King Brown Snakes, Red Bellied Black Snakes, Red Backs, Box Jelly Fish, Cas...

Jason's Comments: Upon unzipping my swag to the emerging daylight I was reminded that all Longwell's (with the exception of Eisele-Longwell) wake up on most occasions before I. I thought I was dreamin...

After yesterday's post Jason and I took full advantage of the bar until we worked up enough courage to walk through the woods in the dark to the natural hot spring pools. The locals had told us that y...

They say "The best things in life are free" but apparently friendship doesn't fall into that category as it cost me $10,540 to get my friend Jason to visit me in Australia. $9,000 for the bike, $1,500...

I woke up to a loud buzzing sound and saw a cloud of Mosquitos gathered on the mesh of my swag and eying me like the delicious meal I would surely be. I was just in my undies and had to make a mad das...
