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.

Day 78 – Fri, 15 Oct at Port Augusta

IMG_0551 I made a decision to stay another night here and not move on, not because of the town, but due to the weather. The forecast for rain, but move importantly strong gusting winds were the reason. There is no hurry and I could see no advantage in moving on.

The decision was well founded when I road to the local laundromat and the wind was terrible. Like the rest of the E of Australia the wind was strong and the temperature cold.

I also went to the local tourist info centre and it had a fabulous permanent exhibition on the history of the region. Lots of physical and multimedia displays, exceptional good value and a most enjoyable few hours.

The weather is moving further E tomorrow so I will head out towards the Clare Valley and then E of Adelaide towards the S coast.
