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

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.

Town Names (Kandos, Australia)
Journal entry for Monday 14th Jul, 2025 (day 60, miles 332)
Todays ride passed through a series of towns with names that mnight seem unusual to those who did not grown up in Australia. So I decided to share those names in this post in the photos below. Some of the towns also have icons other than their names, suchs a grain silo art. I have included those icons after the name of the town. I started the day at Coonable and Finished at Kandos.

Before hitting the road this morning I walked the few meters to Dirrenbandi's town park and photographed the metal relief-statue of a charge by Australia horse soldiers in WWI, and some coloured poles (which I think have some aboriginal significance). After that I had coffee at the town bakery which is run by a Russian family.

I did not spend any time this morning looking around Roma, that may have been a mistake, but it explains why there are no photos of the largish town that I stayed in last night. South from Roma the fist stop of the day was the town of Surat which is located on the banks of the Balonne River. On the north side of the town is a large free camping area which was well occupied by caravaners. In the town the river provides a great setting for a walking trail.

Journal entry for Friday 11th Jul, 2025 (day 57, miles 265)Today was cold, thanks to a strong cold southerly wind, and the result was a destinct lack of enthusiasm on my part to stop and take photos. The stretch of road south of Rolleston to Injune (about 165km) was interesting with views of the mountains of Carnarvon National Park for much of the stretch. South of Injune the terrain was forested rolling hills.

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.
