This is crazy Yoshi. He has ridden solo since Feb 08...leaving Cairns...Syd...Melb....Adel...Pth...Brme...headed 2 Darwin..then back 2 Daly waters bak 2 Cns. He would have done all headwind (sept perth - broome) that is a feat!! only 23 yrs old! (when we sed we were turning 46 & 60yr in Aug...he laughed & sed 'Oh my parents' meaning we are old farts like his folks. we're told the Jap govt. gives these tenacious people a sorta subsidy & job recommendation?? wil confirm this when Yoshi gets in contact with us bak in Cns in Oct


Good samaritans..carried sum gear ova

Saint Paul was one of those unassuming angels which we met outside Normanton...then again on the Gibb rd (3 times) always there 2 help anyone out. He took us & gear 2 Derby...& took us off the beaten trak (2 gorges... which we wouldn't have done on pushbike) planned 2 hook up the nxt nite 2 watch the 12mt tide come in. He quietly planned a chicken n salad dinner for us on the jetty..gosh how nice some people r. He sed most of the people in the van park he stayed at knew bout us... we were legends 2 him..he felt a legend by association. Cute huh.
