13.06.2008, Daly Waters Roadhouse (Northern Territory). Henk and Katrien: At the Daly Waters roadhouse we actually only wanted to fill up water for the night, then ride on a bit to find a good bushcamp along the road. But all of a sudden we see another cycling-couple. We chat, stay and enjoy a way too expensive beer in the famous pub. The two Belgians started in China at winter time, have been sweating across Southeast-Asia and are now heading against the heavy southeasterlies towards Brisbane. Then they will continue in New Zealand... www.henhkatrien.shareyourstory.nl

 

02.06.2008, on our way to Cloncurry (Queensland, Australia). Gilbert: We are flying with tailwind across the country as a cyclist is fighting his way from the other direction. Gilbert is 68 and was riding from Brisbane (where he lives) to the airport (in Darwin) to get to Thailand and Malaysia - because that's where he was touring the last months. Now he is on his way back - from the airport in Darwin to Brisbane... WOW!!!

 

26.05.2008, Dingo (Queensland, Australia). Phil and Alf: We meet the two Australiens on our way from the eastcoast to the center and camp together. They are on their way from Canberra to Mackay.

 

18.03.2008, Great Ocean Road (Victoria, Australia). Boudewijn: After a never-ending big climb into the forested hills along the “Great Ocean Road” we meet a cyclist coming from the other direction. Boudewijn was in New Zealand before and has just started his Australia-trip, which will take him from Melbourne to Darwin…

 

17.03.2008, Great Ocean Road (Victoria, Australia). Stefan and Christine: We got to know these two great Germans a year ago in Turkey, where we rode a couple of nice days together along the south-coast (see bikers we met 05.02.2007 and News and reports: SW-Asia). We went on towards Syria and further to Africa, while Stefan and Christine headed towards Iran. The last year they spent in Asia and not long ago they started their Australia trip in Darwin. They are in the final stages of their long travels, so they have decided to treat themselves with renting a car for a month and cruising around in the South-Eastern part of Australia. We meet them – by surprise! - while riding the “Great Ocean Road”. For three days we meet up in the evenings (during the day those guys do more kilometers than us) and spend many hours chatting about experiences in different continents….It was great to see them again! www.radfahren-gegen-krebs.de
