Brain Dick found himself in trouble on a ride in WA. His PLB was instrumental in his rescue. Here’s Brian’s letter thanking the supplier for replacing his PLB after the incident…
I was travelling around Australia and had already covered 9000km, passing the Gulf of Carpenteria through the Gibb River Road, and was Day 1 into a westerly point – easterly point crossing of Australia, from Steep Point to Cape Byron.
Approximately 43km down The Butchers Track, the start being 27km south of the Overlander Roadhouse on the North Western Coastal Highway, I came to strife at approximately 100kph and landed very heavily. Upon coming to rest the bike was stuck on my leg and I was in immense pain. At that point I knew I needed professional help and I was not going to make it out on my own.
