Wudinna SA to Mildura VIC To say it was cold overnight was an understatement – poor Dudley froze at -2deg. No amount of clearing the windscreen or mirrors helped as they just refroze, as for the seat…it was rock hard. It really was a lovely mornings sky though with the pink streak and moon shining …

Border Village to Wudinna SA All the time zones messed with my head and I didn’t get the greatest nights sleep. Was eventually woken by the music of exhaust tunes. Waves from rooms across the carpark and the banter and comradery is fantastic. Had to put a little air in Dudley’s rear tyre and then …

No you don’t just plug yourself into a power outlet. What you do is back up the bike with your camping gear and high tail it outta town….would’ve been nicer if My Sweety could’ve come with me but you can’t have everything all the time. Out at 6:30 to beat the traffic wanting to escape …
