In issue #16 Darin Rowley had set a glorious four-day course for a NSW Tour Of Duty download. This issue he sets out to peel off a lap of premium sightseeing in Victoria – the Education State.

Kurt Quambusch (publisher of Adventure Rider Magazine, aka ‘The Boss’) was on the phone with his orange-tainted KTM exploration sunglasses on. He was looking at maps spouting a plethora of geographic names and licking his lips at the thought of a cold Coopers green beer to wash the dust out of the throat at the end of a day’s ride. I (Darin Rowley – owner of Adventure Motorcycle Equipment) was looking at my WR250R parked in front of my store under a blue sky ready to go by simply throwing a set of clean clothes into the saddlebags and could feel the tug of an adventure ride! I verbalised what we both needed to hear.
