Nice if you have the spare time!
 Enjoy the trip. The Nullabor may be a flat, lifeless... plain, but riding across it on a bike is really something! |

Enjoy!
 I have toured pretty much all of the eastern states (over 80,000km) on a Honda VF1000F2F, but got married before I could head to the West. I still hope to do it one day. |

Not sure if you are still in Coober Pedy, but bring a visit to Crocodile Harry there!
He is a legend in Coober Pedy Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the trip, I have driven the same route in 2006 with a car, the Nullarbor was brilliant imo, but it must be an experience on a bike! Do you have a website with pictures and a travel story? grtz, Wapflap |
