May 23, 2018 After a couple days at sea, we were ready to ride again and keep moving north. Bags strapped and gas in the tank, we cruised out of Airlie Beach and away from the sailboats bobbing in the harbor. Less than twenty minutes later, we were in the sugar cane fields, following the … Continue reading Road Trip Day 37: Airlie Beach to Townsville
Day 35, May 21, 2018 Shockingly, sleeping on a plastic mattress bunk bed tucked in the bow shared with another person is not the recipe for restful sleep. I kept trying to stretch out my legs but hit the metal wall of the galley. The cool part though was that our beds were under the … Continue reading The Whitsundays Sailing Trip, Day Two
Rockhampton to Airlie Beach May 19, 2018 Of course, the night before the longest day of riding, I slept horribly. The old grungy man in our room not only continued to burp in his sleep, but also farted uncontrollably and hacked up phlegm every half hour. Then, the guy in the bunk next to mine … Continue reading Road Trip Day 33: Rockhampton to Airlie Beach – The Longest Ride
Day 32, May 18: Agnes Water to Rockhampton In the morning, we still had some things to wrap up with our website clients so we ran around town tying up loose ends.

Day 23: 1770/Agnes Water With sunny skies forecasted for days, we took advantage of the sunshine by going for a morning run. The streets were quiet as the quaint neighborhoods started to stir.

Day 22: Rainbow Beach to 1770 and Agnes Water I woke up to the loud voice of a proper Aussie named Nate corralling the newest tour group at 6:30am. I didn't mind much since it meant we could get an early start on the road too. After breakfast, I checked the forecast and it said … Continue reading Aussie Motorbike Adventure Day 22: Rainbow Beach to 1770/Agnes Water
Day 21: Fraser Island to Rainbow Beach I woke up around 6am and started to clean the campsite since I knew my fellow team members would not be fit to drive this morning. Stumpy and I cleared the empty cans and shimmery silver wine bags. He remarked that he chooses not to "poison" his body … Continue reading Aussie Motorbike Adventure Day 21: Fraser Island
Day 20: Fraser Island At about 4:30am, the skies opened up and rain poured down in buckets. Despite the hammering down on the tarp above, and the wind whipping at the tent flaps, we stayed dry.

Day 17: Noosa to Rainbow Beach Since we only had a short distance to drive today, we had a leisurely morning sipping our coffee and tinkering with the motorbikes.

Also Kiwis tail light has been hanging from … Continue reading Aussie Motorbike Trip Day 17: Noosa to Rainbow Beach
