Cape York Motorcycle Adventures was looking for a new sweep rider. Adventure Rider Magazine put out the call to help find the right person. From nearly 40 applicants ready to drop everything and sign on as guide and sweep for one of Australia’s longest-running and most professional tour services, a short list of three were flown to Cairns and put through their paces. The aim was to find out who would get the Best Job In The World. The lucky rider? Read on and find out…

River crossings are a big part of any ride in FNQ, and with rain leading up to this ride river currents were strong. The candidates, along with Graeme Blake, made it look easy.

As the rain hammered on the roof of the Cape York Motorcycle Adventures’ (CYMCA) substantial work-shop just north of Cairns the riders paid close attention.

Mostly they paid close attention to the dinner from the incredible spit roast the CYMCA folks had laid on to welcome the riders, but main man Roy Kunda continued on with his briefing anyway, seemingly happy with how things were going.
