Motorbikes, dogs and a lot of traveling.
We have been working on the feed lot for almost three months now. The time has flown by. Time flies when you're having fun... Or working 11 hour shifts everyday! Before we were hired for this job, we were actually set up to go back to the dairy farm we previously worked for. It was... Continue Reading →
We have worked just over seven weeks straight now. No days off, no late starts nothing. It's starting to make us a little stir crazy and irritable. Yesterday we were invited to the Flinton races which is 90km from the feed lot. We didn't really want to at first, but I am so glad we... Continue Reading →
One of the most popular tourist destinations in Australia, Byron Bay did not dissapoint. We spent the night in a small campsite in our wonderful car and pretty much melted in the spring heat. We started the morning the proper way with a stop at a bakery for coffee and pastries. The food was really... Continue Reading →

Since seeing the music video for Toxic, Britney had me believing that having the wind flow through my hair whilst on the back of a motorbike, would be so free and glamorous. Right now I am battling with one giant dreadlock which used to be a ponytail. Give it up Britney. Today was realllyyyyyy really... Continue Reading →
Our day started with a bang... literally. Whilst travelling at 5km around a roundabout we had our first motorbike accident. It was a very slow tumble in what we suspect to be spilt diesel. It had been raining that morning and rain on disel in like riding on ice. Our back end went out and... Continue Reading →
OH MY GOD MY BUM ACHES. After a full ten hours on the bike, I can no longer feel my bottom. We set off at around 9:00am this morning from Atherton and drove the higgldy piggldy Gillies Range for the final time in Australia. This road is so nice to do on a bike because... Continue Reading →
