adelaide to the great ocean road




















starting of the great ocean road


lol





THE BORDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


nice vista after the desert



pelicans just before the great ocean road


the pink lake

after a very nice rest with my rescue team in Adelaide I kept going direction the Great Ocean Road . I didn't want to do it when I started in Darwin but I changed my mind on the way and because my rescue team ( during the track in the desert) told me it was very flat and I will have a tailwind, I thought:" ok let's go"
But actually it was the hardest part of all my trip, a strong sidewind, it was raining and it's very very hilly but it was beautiful and maybe it was hard but I will not complain at all. the most beautiful ride I did in 4000 km.
I'm just going to canberra and sydney now because I have to change my mind and to think about all I did...
so I will update my blog in a week with more details ....see you

quick news

just to tell you I'm still alice and i had a big trouble in the desert, I broke again my back wheel in the middle of nowhere I have had to wait 2 hours in the desert before to see a car coming, actually it was 3 4WD and they gave me a lift of 75 km, the closest place, a town with 8 peoples, William Creek. I left all my stuff and my bike too in the town and decided to go with my rescue team in Port Augusta because it was on their way to go back home, about 700 km from William Creek. I bought a new wheel and tonight I going to catch a bus to go to coober Pedy and after I will try to find a car who is going to William Creek, 180 km from Coober Pedy.

I will do 1500 km just to fix my bike, I don't have time to put pictures but in few days you will have plenty...

tomorrow I will continue the track in the desert....

see you soon

Alice pring to...

I left Alice Spring the 31 of august at 3 AM, I know it's in the middle of the night, I did 172 km this day and the day after and today I did 130 km and 161 km, so I drove 463 km in 3 days, That's impressive but I had a very very good tailwind and today, my average speed, excluding all my stopss was close to 26 km per hours for 18 ussually. I started at 8 AM and finished at 3:30 PM ( for the 2nd of september)
I'm sorry I can't put anyictures because it's a specific computer (the only one) in the roadhouse and the use is just for internet.

but in 2 days I will be at Cooper Pedy and I will be able to ost more pictures.

see you soon.
