Why Come to a Horizons Unlimited Motorcycle Travellers Meeting?
You can meet people who don't...
Just finished a trip round Australia on three DR650's with my Dad and brother. We were raising money for breast cancer research. Our website contains photos, diary entries and route maps - interesting and helpful!

Australian guided motorcycle adventure tours
Outback Adventure Treks is a leading motorcycle tour company providing premium guided off-road motorcycle adventure trips in Australia. From our base in the picturesque Whitsunday's region, we offer tours all over Queensland and across Australia from the wet tropics to the dry deserts of central Australia. Enjoy the comfort, convenience, service and security provided by a local tour operator that has a deep passion for the country we travel through.
All of our tours feature BMW motorcycles. Each motorcycle is fitted with an intercom system and our guides will keep you informed of the local history, flora and fauna as you travel through the variety of habitats along your journey.
Our tours are a step-up from other motorbike tour companies. All tours are all inclusive, staying at quality accommodation in towns and enjoying comfortable overnight camps when in remote locations.
We hope to see you enjoying one of our tours soon.
Tasmania is Australia's hidden island state. A Canadian client of ours said 'Tasmania has the greatest motorcycling roads he has ever experienced'. Rent BMW R1200GS or F650GS from us. Explore by yourself, or let us book your accomodation and provide a suggested itinary for a self guided tour.

Located in sunny Tamworth, Australia. "Every single bike in this collection is privately owned and even more amazingly, the owner has many more in his collection of a similar outstanding quality. What that means is that he can chop and change the display quite easily so that you have to just keep coming back."
Video link to Tom and Rachel's trip around Australia in 2005.
"We can offer a bed for a night or two to bike travellers. As long as we still have a house that is... We thought 18 months on the road would cure us. It doesn't does it..?" Mail lain

Thanks Cheryl and David!
"G'day travelling bikers. I am a lifelong (almost 50 year old) biker, living in the Strzlecki Ranges about 2.5 hours east of Melbourne. My wife and I live 'out in the bush' on 75 acres surrounded by hills & trees, about 30kms to the nearest town, and 10kms to the nearest bitumen. Our neighbours are roos, wallabies and wombats. We can offer long distance travellers our hospitality if you fancy day or two to kick back & relax. In return we would love to hear your travel tales.
In 2000 I rode 14,000kms around part of Oz. See //www.horizonsunlimited.com/tstories/lock/"
