24.01.2022 Well, the adventure is almost over. I've been asked to do a radio interview this morning for ABC, then on the plane at lunchtime and heading home. Get home around midnight, got to go via Sydney.
23.01.2022 Arrived safely in Karratha after a 393km day. 280km of it dirt. Red, corrugated and dusty, just like yesterday, and the days before. All my gear is now saturated with Red dust. But it was a great ride with some fantastic scenery. The countryside during most of the ride has reminded me of south Africa. I could have been riding in SA, the similarities were quite amazing. Camped on the oval at the local pub. Got a big day tomorrow. Nearly 500km to 80 mile beach where we camp tomorrow night. So another 4:45am wake up and early on the road. Sadly only two riding days left :(
23.01.2022 Swim done, now for a beer and dinner. The last 1000km has been flat, dead straight roads, headwind and 45deg heat in riding gear. It's been like a 1000km 125cc GP race. All the guys tucked right down and slipstreaming anyone you could. Great fun, but bloody hard work.
23.01.2022 Bed time. Phone needs recharging. Long day tomorrow including 280km dirt, expected to be tougher than today. Dan says its the challenge day of the ride. Bring it on!!
22.01.2022 Lunch stop. Red, dusty, hot, corrugated road, red, dust etc etc

21.01.2022 Final day. Started with good old roadhouse breakfast

18.01.2022 Camp ground at 80 mile beach. No mobile signal so can only post pics now now.
18.01.2022 Ahhhhhh!! Hotel bed at last. Off to the pool to wash off the red dust.
15.01.2022 Contemplating the final days ride.
15.01.2022 My last day with Priscilla. Carried me faultlessly 3500km with the throttle pinned to the stop the entire way.
