All great adventure ideas start somewhere. Steve and Paul began theirs at the local, promising to reach all points of Australia eventually – north, south, east and west. The first destination was Australia’s most northern point, Cape York.
Just a week before we were due to leave everyone bailed, and Steve and I thought it’d be just the two of us.But then good mate Dave said, “I have an idea. I’ll take both my Ténérés and bring my friend Mark.”
That balanced the numbers: two Suzukis and two Yamahas. A DR650, DR250, Ténéré 600 and a Super Ténéré 750, and before we knew it we were bunked down in Cairns, ready to go.
