FRE #34 Young
So close to home, how could I not register for this one – kinda a no brainer!! Phil Harris noticed it’d registered and asked if I’d mind having someone along for the ride and it would give him the opportunity to see how some of us plan our trips. Obviously, it wasn’t a problem and …

Tintaldra 2015
My favourite ride on the calender and it only comes around once a year. Work is a distant memory Friday morning when I awake and get ready in record time to hit the road with my Sweety Karl. Travelling with my favourite fella to my favourite place….what more could a girl ask for 🙂 We …

2014 in Review
What an amazing year, well maybe not exactly true but definitely an exhausting one. The start of the year for most would start off slowly but for me the roller coaster was already on full throttle. Work just ran on from 2013 in the same hectic way it finished. Let’s see if we can break …

I think the excitement of seeing my friend Leonie and having a ride with …

FarRide North Summary
To go to Darwin River to have lunch with friends…….well why wouldn’t you! Any normal person would do that – right? Well maybe not but that’s what FarRiders do. This was in itself going to be an enormous ask of myself and one that I thought I had in hand. However as it turned out …

FRN#1-Day 14 HOME!!!
Now you’re probably wondering how I loaded all those missing photos……..well I found my camera this morning when I was making the bed….LOL. It must’ve fallen out when I dumped everything.

FRN#1-Day 13 Dubbo
What great hospitality at The Kwaka Lodge. Angel even got to sleep under cover last night (a real treat). Another 7:30am start after breakky with my lovely hosts Baz & Liz. We say lots of good-byes and take advantage of getting that extra hug in before I head out the drive. Baz warns me of …
