The Giant Loop : July 2007
Arriving in Australia in July 2007 from India. Doing the Giant Loop, 60days time.
Anyone doing the same route (doing it anticlockwise, sydney to sydney) at the same time ?

Am thinking of doing the Aus circuit. You mentioned July but I had planned to do it a bit later because interior Oz can be very cold at night in winter.
In case you haven't been here before, the Eyre Hwy is can be freezing and very changeable. Only the top third is what I'd call warm.
What's the plan? Stay in pubs, camp out, mixture of both?
How far do you want to ride each day, rough max.
What's the route? Are you a racer or a cruiser?

Hey wigger im about 10K's up the road from you.
