On the road again…
There were a few good twisties along the way today, making good progress to Melbourne.
Today we have stopped at: Gilgandra
Been passed Gilagndra a few time before, but never stayed the night.
Made a few rest stops along the way, mostly to keep my sanity and rest is good when riding a bike.
I purchased some more sugar today in the hope that I won’t fall asleep. I did get a good night sleep out at Texas though I still found myself wanting to dose. So extra rests stops were required to refuel the human driver.
Charging system on my bike is working well at this stage, Josh is having some issues with his but I think that’s more to do with the bag mount than the system it’s self.
In the attempt to get some rest I will sign off with today’s map for everyone!
So we have finally left Brisbane, after finishing the wiring of the bikes on Monday night we pushed off at around 2pm on Tuesday.
First Destination:- Texas, Qld
So we didn’t even make it to NSW, but we are sooo close!!
Highlights: Cunningham Gap, there are a few trucks using this road and it has recently gone through a upgrade to cope with all the traffic. Though if you can get over the amount of trucks on this road it’s a nice twisty road with some good day walks either side for those who are extra keen.
After checking out the price to stay at the pub for the night we decided to make the extra effort and camp. We wil be camping next to the boarder so we will be in NSW right after breakfast.
I have setup a live tracker that I will be broadcasting my position throught the trip
For each day you should beable (assuming technology doesn’t fail me) see where I have come from and where I have ended up.

Well I haven’t updated this page in awhile so lets add some more pics!
I visited Hobbiton today after a early rise and running out the door to catch the bus. (~2hr Journey one way from Auckland)
It was well worth the effort on getting up early as I was able to get many shots with no people in them, so I must thank the tour company for insisting that I should really get up early.
It is amazing the detail in each of the hobbit holes, all in all a good trip!
