    Did a 'Dry run" to see if all the gear that I have amassed, will actually fit on the bike again.
    My wife brought along some of the stuff that I originally forgot, so the big test is to make sure I can carry it
    without overflowing.
    Basically I have one Pannier, for my tent, sleeping bag spare bits and pieces, and the other pannier for clothes and the Apple
    My toolbox and self inflating mattress will be tied across the rear seat.

    This trip is a bit short noticed, however the plan came together, at a funeral, of all places. I met up with an uncle that lives up in Normanton in the gulf region.
    He told me that at the moment the roads up there are pretty good. So with holidays due and all work finished, I started planning. the plan is not all that complicated, Basically I planned to ride between 400 and 600 Km per day, which I know from a previous trip that I can do quite easily, without earning "Iron butt Award" points. As I am already away from home, The trip is technically started, however I will cool my heals at Agnes Water, where we have a holiday unit, till Friday 10 June.
    The proposed trip will be
    Day 1 Agnes Water to Alpha, 619 Km
    Day 2 Alpha to Winton 585 Km
    Day 3 Winton to Mt Isa 665 Km or 356 Km, depending on road condition.
    Day 4 Mt Isa to Normanton 444 Km
    Day 5 Normanton to Mt Surprise 390 Km
    Day 6 A Day to explore the Undara Lava tubes (I've always wanted to do this)
    Day 7 Mt Surprise to Hughenden 642 Km
    Day 8 Hughenden to Blackall 623Km
    Day 9 Blackall to Roma 563 Km
    Day 10 Roma to Brisbane 477 Km
    Total is about 5,020 Km.
    Obviously this is just a plan, and i will probably make changes to it as I go along, Depending on what I find to distract me along the way.
    I will try to make posts on a daily basis, but Knowing my well documented tardiness, this may be just a bit ambitious of me, Who knows.
