Welcome to our website....

This website contains stories and photos from our various cycling and hiking journeys in Australia and overseas.

We enjoy the challenge and rewards of human powered travel and couldn't be happier than when we are camping in the middle of nowhere or cruising along on the open road on our bikes.

Travelling independantly by bike or on foot is what this website is all about.

Please enjoy
