The Americas

This is the earliest adventure recorded on this website and started in March of 2009. At the time we were novices at this overlanding thing and really had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. As it turned out .... read more

Stay tuned .. once it is in our hands we will give you a tour and run down.

After completing our The Americas adventure we mistakenly believed that we would not undertake any more vehicle based travel outside North America and with that mind set, in 2011 just after OverlandExpo, we purchased a used 2008 Earthroamer. However as plans .... read more
Motorcycle Adventures

In 2015 on our annual return to the US, I Robert, decided to get myself a motorcycle license (my first ever experiences with motos) and a year later (again on our annual return to the US) I bought my first motorcycle a 2011 BMW1200 GS. That same year that motorcycle presented me with a broken leg and thats why we did not return to Europe that year. It was probably inevitable .... click this link to read more.

Motorcycle Adventures Round Australia

On May 16th of this year (2025) I (Rob) set out to ride a motorcycle solo and unsupported around Australia.
I expect the journey will cover 14,000-15,000 km, and and last something like 8 to 12 weeks. The route will be clockwise around the continent from Sydney and will try to largely avoid the coastal regions of the country. To the extent possible this will be an outback expedition.

Green fields and Mountains (Rolleston, Australia)
Journal entry for Thursday 10th Jul, 2025 (day 56, miles 27,138)
On todays ride I saw lots of bright green fields. I think it is some form of vegetable oil plant but cannot be sure. Even google did not help me as it came up with a list of about a dozen things it could be from sorgum to wheat to cotton. I did see evidence of fluffy white cotton on the road side.

Before getting underway today I did a very quick visit to the main street of Charters Towers to see the old Stock Exchange building which is no a shopping mall, followed by a visit to Tower Hill for a view of the city from above and to note the conical hills in the distance which are (according to some theories) responsible for the "Tower" part of the towns name.

Todays ride was notably different. Firstly the country side was made up of gentle hills, and covered in Eucalypt forest as compared to the grassland of the past week or more, and there were more towns (or at least villages). In the 250kms of todays ride I stopped at 3 intermediate towns, Prairie, Torrens Creek and Pentland. I also stopped at Balfes Creek but it seems to be abandoned. I did not stop at the village of Homestead. All those places in 250kms, I must be getting close to civilization.

For much of this morning Nina and I were still dealing with the electrical issue from yesterday. So my mind was not really on what I was seeing while traveling along. Mind you the scenery was cooperating with my level of indifference as for much of the first 150km the land was flat grassland.

The first stop of note on todays ride was the town of Cloncurry something like 60-70km from last nights camp at Mary Kathleen. This town is famous as the birth place of QANTAS. At the local airport the original hanger building still exists and is labelled with the original name of the airline Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Service, from which the initials QANTAS were derived.
