Every year Lida and I get away for a couple of weeks on the bikes. This year, with new BMW GS motorcycles, we got away on the 1st of May and covering 10,280 kms we traversed the roads through western NSW, central western Queensland up to Longreach, Charters Towers and on up to Normanton and then Karumba in the Gulf. After eating prawns ii the Gulf of Carpentaria and watching the sun set on the Gulf itself, we worked our way back to Mt Isa, picked up tent no 2 from the Post Office then continued on to Darwin where we stayed with my Neice at her amazing apartment in Parrap. Now, 48 years ago I actually lived in Parrap, so was astonished to see the total change that has occurred in my absence. Onwards down the Stewart Highway brought us to Alice Springs and in due course, Ulura and the Olgas. Continuing on we worked our way to Port Augusta and, with an eye on approaching weather conditions, decided to wend our way home via Balranald, Hay, Cowra and Bathurst. Lida takes photos and posts them immediately from her I Phone. Me, I take them, return home and do battle with Photo Shop then post. Rod.
