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.
