Tamworth (ish) to Perth (ish) boxing day till first week in January
Hi
I'm doing a mad dash across Southern Australia in an effort to get to a shearing team in time, about 8 days with an average of 550 kilometres a day, at about 100 kms an hour. I'm looking for some company with a similar small budget. Im starting in Bangalow (near Byron) on boxing day and heading for Esperince in WA.
I'm on a fairly beefy 250 gsx. I have all the camping stuff although my tent is awfully small, so if your a farly strapping lass or lad i would think bringing your own tent would be the best way to go!
I generally like to rise about 7 or 8 and get going pretty quickly, stopping for lunch and petrol around midday then just cooking something up on the trangear at night, although im flexible so let me know how you like to roll and il do my best to fit in with you!
email me on stackmansarah@gmail.com or telephone 66884088
alternatively, you can text 0419 996 537
all the best!

Hi Sarah - had a bit of a chuckle when I read your route as there's a Tamworth in the UK so it sounded quite a long shot to get to Perth in 8 days
Good Luck & Ride Safe on your trip

As there is also a Perth in UK - google maps has it at about 340 miles or under 6 hrs!
Most of it motorway and dual carriageway.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
