I haven’t had the best year for riding, despite the amount of kilometres I have done. So this FarRide I tried to make sure that other than having Daisy in good condition, my head space was, well, better prepared than in recent times. I think the excitement of seeing my friend Leonie and having a ride with …

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 …

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. I’m going home, I’m going home – were the thoughts I had last night before closing my eyes and drifting off. This morning I …

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 …

This morning I woke up with sleep in my eyes (first time since leaving home), must’ve had a good rest. Angel’s front tyre is low on air so off to the Port Augusta Mobil servo but wait – NO air available – WHAT?? Down the road to Mr Shell and he has digital and working …

A tiring day yesterday, made for a night where sleep didn’t take long to come along. In the morning though, I expected to be the only FarRider left at Daly Waters. What a pleasant surprise to see that Klaus, Michael & Lynne had all slept in J I was staying in the room called “Faith …

The plan is we all decided last night to leave at 5:00am and ride out together with all lights blazing. I’d already teed up (in the week prior to) to ride out with Fatman (Michael) & Lynne the Pillion so I wasn’t riding in the dark hours on my own but as it turned out …

We had a later start this morning but still, I couldn’t sleep in…..argh!! But nevermind, I got to watch the dawn of a new day! Half an hour later and the sun says “hello”!! A few locals come out to say “Good morning Kimmie” Barkly, an outback oasis. If you are ever up this way, …
