Blackdown Tablelands. Queensland Australia
 

Managed to get out for a lengthy ride recently from Gladstone - Biloela - Banana - Baralaba - Woorabinda - Dingo - Blackdown Tablelands - then back via Gracemere & Rocky. 700k's all up by the time I got home again 12.5 hours later. Perfect conditions.
A 6-30am start, but only half an hour in & I stopped for a coffee & Raisin toast as my hands had gone numb. Also the Motodry Airsteam jacket I'd recently invested in after chancing my arm of 3 years in a high vis Bomber jacket was doing a great job of keeping me cool. Then it was another chilly hour to Biloela before things warmed up again.

Half way to Bilo.

Strip road to Baralaba just behind that hill in the distance.

Road Trains rule the roads out here.

Stunning photos :D

Lovely! I like it.
Wish I was there to join you. Moving to Gold Coast next year this time if all goes well

Wow......great photos. ...and the location is fabulous. Great trip, Steve

:023: Great photos. You're lucky to have such a wonderful backyard to ride in.

I have been thinking of buying a bike in ozzie and
keeping it at my brothers place in Brisbane...

after seeing pics like this the more the idea appeals to me...

Thanks for your kind words fella's, there are a few more places I'd like to get to within a day's ride, then it will be progressing to overnighter's.
I do get equally as jealous when I see other peoples RTW, & Morroco trips !! It would be great to have some company to if you make it over DirkZ & PeteNZ. New Zealand is a bit of a whole world in one country, I've had a quick look at possibly shipping the bike over for a jolly one day after seeing Billy Connerlys ( not sure of that spelling, the Scottish comedian bloke's ) tour he did a while back on a Trike.
Brisbane would be a good base for easy reach into New South Wales as I believe Kev now favour's that to Queensland when out with his riding buddies.
