The idea was to ride down through some of Victoria’s best high country then follow the Murray and Darling River systems home through three States. Covering around 4000km on mostly dirt roads and tracks, riders had to cope with earth, water, air and fire. Andrew Bickford was there and tells the story.
After the cold, wet winter we were all as keen as mustard to get away for the eight-day epic ride, and the group included Ian Meek, Tony Gullifer and myself on XR650Rs, and Colin Bennett and Peter Cox on DR650s.
The ride was Tony’s brainchild, and he’d also organised Ralph McKay and Don Sinclair, who both still enjoy adventure riding, to run the support vehicle carrying luggage and the well-sorted arrangement of tools to keep the bikes running in case of trouble.
