It was getting late. With 440km under our tyres and 120km to go, Cain’s 990 was running on vapour and we were out of options. Kyogle – 28km out of our way – was our only hope.

We hadn’t gone far when we spotted the yellow barriers across half the road. They looked ominous and as we rode closer the message was clear: the road was closed.
