G'day gang,
First time poster but long time reader. I couldn't let this one go past without mentioning a mad bugger of a mate of
mine "Shank".
Shank set off yesterday on a trip from
Karratha to Mulgowie in QLD, some 5300 km, on a Honda CT110 postie bike. Reason....just for the adventure.
What makes this even more amazing is the route he is taking,
Karratha-
Newman via Wittenoom,
Newman, Kumarina R/H,
Wiluna,
Carnegie,
Warburton, Warakurna R/H, Docker River, Yalura, Luritjard,
Alice Springs, The Gem Tree On the Plenty, Jervois or Boya,
Boulia and to his
home in Mulgowie.
I'll also add that Shank is doing this solo which means solo......no support vehicles.
So if over the next 16 or so days you see a bloke on a postie riding though some of our most remote country side, wave him down say g'day and offer him a rum (because I know for a fact he couldn't fit any in).
Hope this story inspires many and hopefully a lucky few meet a bloody good Aussie bloke along they way.
Mick.
