To raise money in support of Oxfam Australia I am going to ride my motor bike Clockwise around Australia.
In August 2009. I'll be leaving from Melbourne heading west along the Great Ocean Road, finding my way to Adelaide, ducking across to Esperance, around the coast to Perth, up to Karratha, Broome, across to Katherine and Jabiru. Take a breath then back down to Tennant Creek, just nip across to Townsville. Then down the coast to Gladstone, inland to Toowoomba then Armidale, Tamworth through the Yengo and Blue Mountains National Parks to Goulburn. Through Canberra, the Kosciuszko National Park back to Cooma, down to Cann River, Bairnsdale, a small detour up the Great Apline Road if its open, across the Dargo High Plains. Around to Mansfield, Alexandra and down the Black Spur home. A distance of approximately 15,000 km and camping in National Parks or caravan parks. Taking about 35 days.
I again extend an open invitation to anyone who would like to join me on any part of this trip, please do.
Open invitation to join me
I invite anyone who rides a motorcycle to join me on any part of this trip. You can ride for as long, or for as short as you want. But because I'm trying to complete the trip in 35 to 40 days, I may be riding for 2 to 3 hours at a time only stopping for fuel or lunch, or to meet those who plan to join.
The only thing I ask is that you come with everything you may need for your part of the ride and that, if you can, make a donation to Oxfam Australia or better still do some fund raising for the cause. Thank you.
At this stage I'm looking at leaving Melbourne on the 15 March 2009. As we get closer I plan to have an itinerary showing most of the places I'll be stopping at overnight.
