You getting it from Adelaide to Perth would be great. Then we'd just need to figure how to get it to Darwin and then from there, back across into Qld and back down to me.

With such a huge barren distance I'd be thinking posting it would have to be an option.

Yeah, I am just aesthetically against the idea of posting it. I much prefer the idea of it making the whole distance by bike. If we cant get new Darwin riders once I am gone, I am even not averse to taking a chunk of leave and traveling around the top into queensland myself, even if it meant flying back and getting my bike shipped. That wouldn't be until at least mid year however, as I would need to accrue more leave.

I have taken a bit of a shine to the whole bike adventure thing since my Europe trip :D
I like a non-sequitur as much as the next Giraffe.

Well, at the rate it is going now, and with a 2,500km trip across the Great Australian Bite to cover the next leg to get it to the next likely place for a GS rider to be, we may be waiting a small while  :icon_mrgreen:

We need to make up some flyers for the website and relay, and just start sticking them up all ove the place to try and get new GSers involved :D

I'm officially on Leave now, and my plans to go to Perth on the GS  :cookoo: have been progressing well.
So far so good, and plan to leave Adelaide on the 17th.

My continuing battle with Telstra (they've been sending my bills to a street address I lived at 14 years ago and wonder why I haven't been paying them) means I am again phoneless and internetless, but will try and jump online regularly.

So who is taking over in Perth to get it to the Top End?

I don't believe we've found anyone yet Iain, so unless otherwise informed I'll be bringing the baton back from Perth with me to Adelaide.
If someone knows someone in Perth to hand the baton on to for another leg, please PM me. Otherwise it's doing a round trip with me.

THAT is so awesome  :thumb:

How long you there for? How much time to find a Perthian to hand over too?

Hi Michael,
Unfortunately I have a tight Adelaide return deadline and I am already back at Pt Augusta.
At least we can post the baton now without it being "cheating".
Will post pics and the fully updated map in the next couple of days.
