Adventure Motorcycle Equipment’s Darin Rowley and a group of like-minded riders headed to the Adventure Travel Film Festival in Bright, Victoria, taking in the high country, a few beers and lots of laughs.

A mixed bunch of bikes from 250cc enduro bikes through to Kato 1290 mother-ships. They sounded good!

I packed my little WR250R with a light camping kit and meandered from Canberra down to Victoria, mapping out some beginner-level trails and a number of technical sections as I went.
