Welcome to My Blog

This is a blog of my trip around Australia by motorbike. I'll endeavour to keep this updated on a regular basis, but there will be days when I'll have no access to the web. So follow my progress, see some pictures and hopefully share my adventure.

Keep in touch by adding comments to the posts or simply give me some feedback.

New Blog Features

Well only a couple of days to go.transparent_spot3

Yesterday I decided to get a SPOT Satellite GPS Messenger as a safety measure, and also to let Robyn know that I am okay when there is no mobile service. You can get more detail from http://au.findmespot.com/en/ if you are interested.

I have added a couple of links to the blog as follows:

Last Known Location – this will show you where I last used SPOT to locate me. Just click on the link and you’ll get a Google Map of my last location.

Where Have I Been - this shows a rough track of where I have been based on when I have used the SPOT. I am not using the Track facility in the SPOT as this would have consumed battery life too quickly. So this is a track of when I have sent the other SPOT messages. To use this link you will need a password to access the  map. I am only giving this to family and friends. So if you want the password send me an email – direct to me not through Facebook – and I’ll email it to you. Please respect my desire to maintain this for family and friends when you have this password.

So I hope these help you follow my trip.
