Day 5

I have just finished my ride and I have caught up with my family they are all glad to see me and I am glad that I have made it back from my ride in one piece. The journey was really exhausting but really fun at the same time. I met some awesome and interesting people along the way and even met some cute and friendly animals. I have finished my ride in cairns which the latitude and longitude is 16.9186° S, 145.7781° E. Most of it was awesome and today I finished my food, so I guess that I packed the exact amount. I am so happy to be here. In this last section of ride a saw a snake along the side of the road and really freaked me out and I fell over. Luckily the snake fled from the scene so I could get back up pack all my stuff back into the trailer and keep on going

Day 4

This is my second last day on my ride and I can’t have dinner tonight because I have one more meal and I would like to save it for lunch. I have stopped in Mareeba and have been a bit sick of riding so I’m glad to be done tomorrow. The Latitude and longitude of Mareeba are 17.0019° S, 145.4389° E. My legs are hurting a lot and I think I’ll only just make it tomorrow. I am sleeping under the stars tonight because the sky is clear and it’s also really hot. The landscape has been pretty strait forward because there aren’t many hills and the roads pretty flat. A challenge that I had to face was that there wasn’t much water and I had to save some for cooking and washing so I didn’t drink that much until I came to this town where there was lots of water that I could stock up on.

Day 3

Well today was pretty good, but I have got pretty sick of my food and want some variety, but I guess that’s all I have. Riding through the desert is pretty fun but it’s also very flat so it’s not too hard to ride. I think I’m pretty close to finishing my ride, I’ve got about a week to go and I have been very tired lately because its nearing the end but I’m still going strong and hope to finish the ride soon. I’m currently at Mount Isa and I watched the rodeo and that was really fun because there was stuff do and people to see. The Latitude and longitude of mount Isa are 20.7256° S, 139.4927° E. Getting here was difficult because there’s a couple of hills but I think if I get of my bike and push I think I’ll be able to get up the hill easier and I think that’s how I will conquer that challenge.

Day 2

Today I have just reached Uluru and it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen it is giant and I can’t believe it, but it Changes colour depending on the time of day I got here at two o’clock and have been going to different aboriginal tribes and been looking at the different places around Uluru. I have had to use a bit of my water to wash my clothes and wash myself and I don’t have much left, so I’ll have to go to the local town to refill. I feel pretty Proud about what I have done so far and how far I have come. At Uluru the latitude and longitude are 25.3444° S, 131.0369° E. One of the challenges that I faced getting here was not having enough water between towns, so I had to make sure I conserved water for the trip until I got to the next town. I saw some animals along the road as well I saw a couple of Kangaroos and wombats towards night time.

Day 1

I have Just Reached Ballarat and it has been a pretty long ride, but I am proud to be taking on this journey by myself. It feels like a long time, but I have seen some pretty awesome things so far. But the journey ahead is long, and I have still got a long way to go. The food that I’m eating isn’t too bad, but I think I’ll get sick of it overtime. I’ve got to fill up my water because I’ve drunk a bit of it so far. I was riding along the highway the whole way. The latitude and longitude of Ballarat is 37.5622° S, 143.8503° E. I Passed lots of cars along the way and they scared me at first, but I got over it by listing to music and trying not to notice them that much. It’s been great and I feel confident that it is possible to finish this ride with my equipment and food.

For day one I will be eating porridge for breakfast, baked beans for lunch and a cup of soup for dinner. On day two I will be having porridge again for breakfast but for lunch I will be having a cup of soup and then for dinner I will have baked beans. The total weight is 400g a day for main meals and then for snacks I have chosen scroggin which Is a mix of dried fruit, nuts and oats I have provided 500g a day for snacking on. So the complete weight will be 900g a day and I will be on my trek for about 45 days so the weight for the whole trip will be 40.5Kg

My journey will take place from Melbourne stopping at various locations across Australia like: Uluru, Adelaide, Mount Isa and Lake Eyre. I will be traveling by bike and will cover roughly 100 - 150 Km a day and the whole trip will take about 40 to 50 days. I won't be staying in any accomodation i will be camping in a tent for the whole journey.

I think that having all this equipment would be pretty heavy but still i think that i could travel about 100 - 150 Km a day. All of the equipment would add up to around 70 Kg to trail along everyday but i think that it would still be possible

Adelaide

When I get to Adelaide I would like to visit the Barossa valley to stay a night and have a beautiful dinner and try different types of wine. It would be an awesome place to stay the night to see the sunset over the valley of grapevines.

Lake Eyre

I would like to go to lake Eyre as a stopping point because it would be a nice place to go camping because you could look up to the stars in the clear night and cool off in the little bit of water that is there.

Uluru

I would like to go to Uluru because I have never been the before and I would like to see the biggest rock in Australia and be part of the aboriginal culture and try some aboriginal food and dances.

Mount Isa

At mount Isa there is a rodeo and I like to watch the rodeo as well as having a good night with some people that I might meet there.

Cairns

This is the end point of my journey and would be expecting some welcoming from my family and walk around and stopping at a place where I can catch a scenic railway and explore the beautiful side of cairns
