I had been waiting and preparing for this trip for a while, now i had a BMWr75 to take me there all i had to do was pack for the 6000KM round trip.

A well packed r75

Overall, the BMW is a superb bike. We had a great time even with the 100km/h cross winds hitting us coming out accross N.S.W during the Victorian 2009 bushfires.

The devastation was awful, lots of people and animals lost lives around here.

Back at camp i had a few ‘Roomies’, met some great people and we had a monster tv screen near our tents so we could watch the action in comfort.
