Sydney-Daintree-Darwin-Alice via Tanami
 

Hi all,

Im heading North this week from Sydney. No strick plans but over the next 2 1/2 - 3 months im aiming for Cairns/Cooktown, across to Katherine and darwin then out to Halls creek to jump on the Tanami Track(road) down to Alice. then maybe up to birdsvill and back. head back to the flinders via strzelicki track and oodnadatta.

Not planning on too many big km days. plan to camp in between major centers and probably stay in hostels while staying put and resting at places like cairns/Darwin/Alice. Im hoping to take my time and explore a bit. Im keen to do some hiking/Diving/sight seeing all over the place.

Riding an XTZ660 so am looking forward to some less travelled (unsealed) roads.

If anyone wants to meet up or join me for a ride just drop me a line.

Cheers,
James

To Darwin via Oodnadatta track
 

Sounds like a good trip Jimmy, i rode up to Darwin Jun this year from Melbourne, i came up via the Oodnadatta track. It had not been maintained recently and was in parts, pretty bad. Patches of bad corrugations and sand build up on the edges, all made for an interesting trip on a packed up BMW GSA.
Take care and enjoy yourself

Thanks for the tip Swaino. but i think id prefer to be on a packed up GSA than my old packed up tenere. oh well im sure ill have fun...i hope;)

Cheers,
J
