"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/"

3. Information, maps, advises about traffic and routes, internet and e-mail
4. A place to park your bike
5 . A trailer in case the bike has to me moved without starting it (damaged) (100 km)

"I can help with directions, suggestions for good rides, referals to quality mechanics and bike shops that won't put the screws to you, and general information. I have some basic tools, but I doubt you'd want to inflict my mechanical skills on your motorcycle. Use my phone, stop to chat, but not a lot of room for folks who need lodging.

"Phone, 1-709-681-2349. Location, south side of Bay of Islands due west of Corner Brook at N 49°03'59" W 58°17'21". It's 28 km west of the intersection of route 450 and Petries St. in Curling (the intersection is shown as Curling on the provincial map). Curling is 15 km from the route 450 exit off route 1 eastbound. I'm retired and usually home. I have a truck and ramp trailer for cripples and a fairly well equipped shop including welding and machining and most of the necessary tools. You are welcome to camp on the property for a few days or use my serviced travel trailer and can shower and wash your clothes. Internet is available but slow. There's always beer and I have topo maps for all of the island and Labrador. For the woods I use a KLR650 and an ST1300 for long distance touring."
