Katherine

 After another epic breakfast we left out northern most point of this trip. We are heading south again before our westward journey continues. So down the road we went and I was happily chugging along below the speed limit when I noticed my estimated fuel to empty did not match the distance to destination. So I had to slow down until I could be sure of a gas station within reach. Boy this bike chugs the gas at speed. We have left the humidity of Darwin behind us and we are now back in the familiar dry heat which peaks at 38. At that temperature it is like riding into a hair dryer. 

A little bit of deja vu as we pulled into the same motel we were in last weekend. 

A big highlight for me today was buying a new pair of walking shoes, the ones I bought for the trip are just a bit narrow so someone who shops at Red Cross Katherine is going to get a bargain.

As I think I mentioned previously Katherine is probably not the safest place to wander about at night so we had an early dinner at McDonalds, the sounds and smells of that place brought back memories of my working life.

The next few days weather is looking decidedly dodgy with some quite heavy downpours forecast, so we will wait and see. There is even a suggestion of some localised flooding. We originally had planned another off road adventure with a camping night thrown in but we have abandoned that idea for now. 

So it is westward ho tomorrow!

Karumba to Cloncurry

For today and the next couple it is all about getting through somes miles and managing ourselves in the heat. We are currently carrying 10 litres of water and we can increase it to about 14 if need be. We are in the outback now and a breakdown or mishap can have dire consequenses if we are unprepared. So we have plenty of water, food and shelter as well as two emergency distress options, we have done what we can.  Anyway it was 25 when we set off and the sun was still low in the sky when we set off at 7:30. For the first hour we rode directly into it so I kept my speed to a reasonable pace as there was much roadkill to avoid. There is always much bird activity around these sites, at home we might see one or two Hawks dealing to a possum but over here it’s not unusual to see twenty or more. The Hawk population is huge and I’m not surprised as there is plenty of food. I believe the latest estimate of the Kangaroo population is 55 million.  We gassed up back in Normanton and were...

Melbourne

After an uneventful flight we were met at the airport by Siobhan and Alex who have generously offered to accommodate us until we can collect the bike. On Sunday we visited a winery for lunch which was very nice. The weather is very pleasant right now with a real spring feel about it. Then after we returned home we took Kairo the golden retriever for a walk along the banks of the Yarra, then back for a couple of beers and took in the women weightlifters on telly. Monday was time for paperwork and after 2 frustrating hours on the phone trying to arrange the compulsory road insurance I gave up and we took the tram into town to visit Vicroads in person. There was a bit of a queue in front of us but when we got to the desk the girl was very helpful and we were all sorted in 10 minutes. I get the impression they still have a way to go in getting this sort of thing organised online. Anyway only the quarantine inspection to go now and we can hit the road.

Preparations

After much debate and thinking about where our next major trip will be, we have decided on Australia. The bike is enroute to Melbourne as I write this. We will collect the bike there on about the 12th of August and will circumnavigate the continent in an anticlockwise direction. So watch this space and come along for the ride and enjoy our adventures with us.  A big shout out to BMW Wellington for giving us the transport crate, 360 logistics for making the shipping so easy and to Rob Vandenberg for sharing his experiences and to everyone else who has shared their snake, spider, roadkill stories which have encouraged us no end.
