Oz Trip – Early planning
Hello fellow riders
My wife and I are thinking once our NZ adventure is over that we may start to venture further a field??
We are currently thinking about OZ to start our overseas experience in.
We will probably look at riding a couple of DR650 bikes (one each) and modify them before we get over there, and then ship them to Melbourne (the reason for this is I have a brother there and can use his place as a base for a couple of weeks)
Then it’s off onto an OZ adventure….
We are keen on adventure riding, you know off the black stuff and into the dust
I would be keen on tracks such as the Simpson Desert and the like, so are welcome to suggestions
We would look at getting the bikes over in July this year and going from there
Ideally we would like to do it on a low budget (camping etc) and maybe work as we go.
We want to get to Ayers Rock, Perth and as far North as possible, we don’t care too much on how far we ride each day and how long we are at each stop. We wont be in too much of a hurry and could stay for 6 – 8 months if need be to make the most of the seasons
I would love to tackle the Canning Stock Route, but in reality I don’t think we have the money or resources to pull this off, but this would give you a good idea of what we would like to do, and that is to get off the beaten track as much as possible, but at the same time ensure that we are well prepared for it!!
Any hints or tips would be gratefully received
We would also welcome any other riders that may be considering touring Oz at the same time, or that may already be there
Cheers
