I have always wanted to try balancing a big rock. Today I succeeded along the way from Townsville to Mount Surprise.

I cheated ... Connie helped me.

Dont believe me?

.. would you believe I put my name on it then ...?

 

 

 


 

 

I dunno why.... it just looked OK.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

The Gulf Developmental road is narrow in some places.

The trucks are big and heavy.

This sign is good advice.

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

And this shows how much tar sealed road is left for us. If they had to move any of their wheels onto the gravel, we would be showered with rocks and stones.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Ooops!

If you go bush ...  accidentally!

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

Are we there yet?

No!

This tough man has ridden his bike from Germany and he didn't tell me where he was heading for. He did tell me that his web site is www.radtraum.de and he was not kidding - have a look.
