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.

Thank you

A very big thank you to all who may have donated to Oxfam Australia. I have no idea who or how much has been donated. But I know some of my friends have, and again I thank you all. It is a very worthy cause and if you take the time to check the links to their web site I think you will agree.
Well it's the day before I leave and I'm now going threw all the stuff again making sure I have everything and trying of anything else I may need. (if I can fit it in, or on)
My next door neighbor and good friend Ishaaq will be joining me for a couple of hours on his Triumph Tiger and one our God's Squad members Paul Conway from Torquay will join us for a while along the Great Ocean Road.
I'm happy for anyone else to join us for a couple of hours or a couple of weeks. It's difficult to say exactly where I will be at any given time but if you follow this blog that should give you an idea of my progress. And if you click on the poster in the top right hand corner you can view photos that I'll be uploading.
