My little Adventure

The plan is to ride my bike from my home in Umina Beach on the NSW Central Coast down to Melbourne where I'll hop on the Spirit of Tasmania for the cross to Devonport.
Depending on the weather, I'll ride anti-clockwise, down to Hobart then back up again through the East Coast back to Devonport where I'll cross Bass Staight again to Victoria for my home run through the Snowy Mountains, Canberra and finally Sydney & the Central Coast.
The trip should take approximately 2 to 2 1/2 weeks. At least that's the time I've allowed!




I will be leaving on the 22nd October and hope to be back by the 8th November 2009, unless I miss my two boys so much that I decide the whole thing has been the stupidist idea I've ever had and turn around before I even reach Goulburn.

I've done the big 1/2 loop between Sydney, Adelaide, Alice Springs, Darwin & back to Sydney about ten years ago, so camping & long distance travelling is not a worry for me. However, this is my first ever trip on a bike anywhere further than say an hour & half away from home and I'll be on my own too, something that I always wanted to do.
The video below is a little movie I shot while riding around where I live.
You'll need to turn the flash player off in my Music Playlist above first, if you want to hear the video's audio.
