Rounding out 2023 and onto 2024.

Welcome to the Top End, as they call it here. Took a 4 hour boat trip up 3 of the Katherine Gorges It was a relaxing day as we proceeded up the Gorge, then got out and walked a bit to the next part of the gorge and another boat, so we could see three of teh 5 gorges....

The Top End Some good outback humor in Daly Waters Liked this one Lots of history here. It's just 250 Km up the road to Katherine. So I have reached "the Top End" as they call it. Being winter up here it is the dry season Which is good because so many roads are posted...

Riding North from the Big Red Center of Australia A few have commented that I am moving along quickly through the middle of the outback. It is a long way to anywhere here, and I have enjoyed the long days riding through the outback. Stopping at all the roadhouses...

Next morning up at 6am, ride out to the other side of Uluru to watch the sunrise. It is 33 degrees (0C) . But part of what us tourists do out here. Feeling very much like a tourist as the buses, caravans all line up to head out to the rock. As the sun starts to rise...

The main reason to ride the many miles to the Red Center is to be a tourist and visit Urulu and Ayers Rock. I was here 25 years ago, slept in a tent at the base of the rock, and climbed it. You cannot camp here anymore, they built a resort town Yulara for all...

Camooweal to Alice Springs As the sun comes up in the East the Moon as still out to the west Another long riding day ahead.... So I am up a sunrise. I ride the 11Km to the Border with Northern Territory. My 5th Australian State! As I cross into NT, the speed limit...

Karumba to Camooweal Up early to make another full day on the road. As I head west, I realize crossing Australia is a big deal. It is very Isolated and remote. One must be careful which way you decide to ride. Being solo, and not real experienced at riding in the true...

Had to wait for my new gloves to arrive as the old BMW GS gloves have torn seams and have lasted many Thousands of KM's They arrived late Monday so I decided to head west Tuesday AM. Knowing I have lots of ground to cover. And the roads will straighten out and the...

Enjoying friends on the road Have had a great week in Cairns area with Rod and his mates. Once again, I have met some wonderful people and enjoyed this time immensely. Had coffee at the downtown market with Rob Sunday morning, and then got a few errands done before I...

Another busy week Welcome to another week in my office Dirt_bloke contacted me and was up in the area for his son's soccer matches. Was able to ride up and enjoy a match and chat one afternoon. Met up with Pete, Connor and his parents, which was a great interaction...
