Hi there, this is a last ditch effort to try to get our bikes back home. We lost our 2 bicycles still attached to the bike rack and inside specially made covers almost at the start of our Big Trip around Oz last June. Found by the side of the road, they have been languishing in the Port Augusta police lock up for lost items.
We have tried to to advertise on community internet notice boards (no responses) and carrier companies (quoted more than the cost of replacing the bikes) to get them back home.
We are happy to pay up to $250 for some one who is traveling this way from Port Augusta some time in the next little while to return the bikes and bike rack to us in Melbourne or we could pick them up from somewhere near the city where we live.
Maybe someone would like some petrol money for a trip where they have space to throw a couple of bike and bike rack in the back of a ute or truck. Not sure how we lost them off the back of the campervan so wouldn't recommend using the bike rack as it may be defective.
Sorry for the long winded plea. Have almost lost hope we'll see the bikes again.. Further details provided if anyone can help-or even just suggest another possibility we haven't thought of.
Thanks for reading this far..
