why aye?

The first day back on the bikes was wonderful, the breeze flowing through our hair and flies in our mouths, everything was simple and fresh. The second day was Hell! aching legs, a dreadful nights sleep and no TV! Day 3 and harmony was restored, we were back in tour mode and in the zone. So engrossed were we that we failed to notice the odometer ticking over the 2000km mark.

We arrived in Newcastle mid afternoon on a warm autumn day, finding no nearby camping we checked into a Motel, that night Thunder and lighting flashed across the city hailing down ocean storms and causing a city blackout. Smugly, we closed the curtains and played a few games of Worms2’.
We ended up staying a couple of nights in Newcastle; this one is great!
Guide books will tell you that its a small city, which has retained its small town feel. It has a burgeoning reputation has a happening place and a vibrant art community.
There are retro clothes shops and second hand bookshops at every turn only separated by coffee shops and music venues. You couldn’t go anyway without stumbling across a gig or some other event.

We now find ourselves in Nelson Bay, on Port Stephens. This is where Sydney folk spend their holidays. Unfortunately we’re struggling to find things to do; most adventures/tours have closed for the season, (it is after all, down to chilly a 25’C today).
