I have found no blog or website about his travel.
My condolences to his family,

..heartfelt sympathy.
This is terrible news.
We never met Adrian, but we have met many like him whilst traveling over the last 7 years. Young, vibrant, full of enthusiasim and so excited to be on the road. Yes, he was surely doing what he loved and I hope that this thought eases his families and friends sorrow.
Desite being only 30 - he had learned what it takes some many more years to learn - live your life to the full - you only have one.

Living the dream
I agree with Lisa.
We've all had close calls on the road but that shouldn't stop people living their dream. Adrain was no doubt doing what he'd always wanted to do, the tragedy is that his life has been cut so terribly short.
I'm sure all our thoughts are with his family and friends who have to live with the news of this tragic accident.
RIP Adrian
*UPDATE*
I've just had a Tweet from a Brasilian biker living in the US to tell me that he's in contact with a bikers group in Brasil who are assisting the Australian Embassy with Adrian's motorcycle and belongings. It's no surprise to me to see the Brasilians extending their friendship to a fellow biker.

Adrian Kemmis
Thanks you to everyone who has posted regarding Adrian. I am the Minister at the church in Sydney where Adrian grew up and where his family lives, in Turramurra Sydney. We'd love some to be able to be at his funeral in Brazil to represent the family and bikers. If you'd like to know details so you can attend, then please email me directly on tomphb@gmail.com and I'll pass on the information as it becomes available. His family are grateful to those expressing their sympathy, support and prayers. I'll also put details on our church website St Philips Anglican Church - South Turramurra
Thanks and God bless
Rev Tom Henderson-Brooks

Though I didn't know Adrian, I was saddened to read of his accident. Each rider's passing diminishes all of us. I am sure I can convey the condolences of every rider and HU member to Adrian's family and friends.
Clearly he loved life and was fully living it as he wished.

News report from Melbourne paper-
Australian motorcyclist killed in Ponta Grossa, Brazil - AAP
- From: AAP
- October 01, 2010 4:27PM
A 30-YEAR-old Sydney man has been killed in a motorcycle accident in Brazil.
Adrian Kemmis, from South Turramurra, was riding towards the southern city of Ponta Grossa when he lost control of his Kawasaki 650 on yesterday afternoon.
A rescue worker at the scene, Marco Antonio, told Parana Online Mr Kemmis lost control of his motorcycle before ending up under the wheel of a truck.
Rescue workers spent 30 minutes trying to resuscitate him with a defibrillator, he said.
A spokeswoman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade confirmed that a 30-year-old man from NSW had died in a motorcycle accident in Brazil, without giving further details.
The department is giving consular assistance to his family in Sydney.
It is understood Mr Kemmis arrived in Brazil on August 28.

Ola,
ROHDEN.
Estou em São Paulo.
Acompanho tuas mensagens.
Aparentemente, talvez ele seja enterrado no Brasil, em Curitiba. Não deu para entender exatamente.
Parece que o pastor da comunidade dele pediu que, nesse caso, alguém estivesse presente, representando a fam�*lia.
Eu não estarei.
Freqüento também o forum "clube xt600 - brazil". Creio haver membros dessa comunidade os quais vivam em Curitiba e possam estar presentes aos serviços fúnebres. Assim, colocarei uma msg naquele forum.
Paulo
