A Big Lap: Australia Ride Recap

A Big Lap:  Australia Ride Recap

Our lap around Australia officially came to a close when we rolled into Cairns yesterday afternoon.  Friday morning we’ll zip to the airport and fly off to Japan for an adventure in the Land of the Rising Sun. Here’s how

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Touring

Zen and the Art of Bicycle Touring

‘Oh, merde!’ I knew what that meant.  Another flat tire.  And to think we hadn’t even hit the road yet. Gently stirring the concoction of instant oats, milk powder, raisins and sugar that would be our breakfast, I pushed our

Queensland Encounters: it’s not just cows and kangaroos

Queensland Encounters: it’s not just cows and kangaroos

We’re bumping along another lonely country road, calling to the cows as they chomp lazily.  A family of sprightly kangaroos bounces past.  The morning mist is heavy, but brilliant rays of sun peek through with the promise of another gorgeous

The Big Blur

The Big Blur

Guyra, Glen Innes, Deepwater, Glencoe, Sandy Flat, Boonah…names of small Australian towns we’d rolled through in the last week.  I couldn’t conjure up an image of a single one.  Just like a bedraggled package touriston 10 day/ 14 country European

Tackling the Tablelands

Tackling the Tablelands

“Is this the way to Hanging Rock?” “Are you going to attempt to cycle all the way up there?” “No, not attempt.  I AM going to cycle up to Hanging Rock!” I was fed up with people doubting my abilities.

Back to Oz

Back to Oz

“Please step aside.  We need more information about your visit.” The request was pleasant enough, but I was still worried.  Nobody likes to be stopped at immigration. “Have you been to Australia before?” “Yes, for three months back in 2012,”

Good Times on the Great Ocean Road

Good Times on the Great Ocean Road

America’s got the Pacific Coast Highway, Australia’s got the Great Ocean Road.  Both are stunningly beautiful with jaw-dropping views.  Both are prone to the kind of weather that sends sane cyclists to an indoor spinning class.  And both are worth

Headwinds, Flies and Forest Fires

Headwinds, Flies and Forest Fires

Rugged coastline, pristine beaches, sleepy fishing villages, rolling farmland, world-class diving and spectacular seafood. The Eyre Peninsula has it all according to the Australia Tourism Board. Given our shoestring budget, I knew the last two were out.  But those first

Stranded in the Southwest

Stranded in the Southwest

You must visit Southwest Australia. We’d been hearing that mantra since we touched down in tropical Darwin almost two months back.  And how could we resist?   Locals promised us some of the best scenery in Australia- fields of colorful wildflowers,

End of the Outback

End of the Outback

Six weeks and nearly 4,000 kilometers and we finally reach our first real Australia city: Perth!  To say that distances in the outback are vast is to state the obvious.   Never before have we biked a region so remote. After
