In the grand scheme of things, it feels like our lives are no longer made up of Chapters… just Two Parts divided by the loss of Heidi on Friday 9th September 2011. The world is still round in Part Two except there is a gaping hole in it, which is ultimately what Part Two has been about so far… managing the hole and coming to terms…

Maybe it’s a little ironic to be riding round the world for a mental health issue but understand that Laws and I are wired a little different… makes perfect sense to us. Mum, Dad, Laws and I have kicked off fundraising with a $10,000 donation and we’re quietly hopeful that the broader community will get…

Regarding travel health, no website can tell you exactly what you need. It depends on exactly where you go, what you do and your past health. We don’t dilly-dally so we’ve got the expert Dr Deb The Travel Doctor taking care of us.

Laws and I need to give the Australian Property Centre (APC) Rally a well-deserved plug because the little bit of adventure motorbiking experience we have is almost entirely thanks to the blokes involved in this event. The APC Rally is designed for riders who want an adventure and not a race. It is planned as a two…

We both entered funemployment back end of February and gave ourselves three weeks to square away our setups prior to launch… not to mention our lives. We had the impression that we knew what we were doing, had ordered all the right parts and that things would be a breeze… just smash out the work…

Today we had our first ever media experience (say that ten years ago and Mum would have been alarmed).  Key lesson was that you can say as much interesting stuff as you like but make a funny joke about Amsterdam then that will be what gets aired.  Guess I’ll take on the bogan role in…

We extend a massive THANK YOU to our Setup Support! The businesses shown below have provided us with support by donating (or heavily discounting) bits of kit, service and advice. We intend to eat a lot of rice and camp next to a lot of roads – these setups are our homes and very important…

Our Send Off from QIMR Berghofer on Tuesday 17th March 2015 blew us away! We had no expectations – maybe some high fives from Professor Michael Breakspeare and his team – then hit the road. Nek minnit we’re signing lids and lined up in front of a Channel 7 News camera with an enthusiastic crowd all around. Our eyes…

We launched from QIMR Berghofer straight back to West End to say goodbye to our number one fan: Mum – if we ever get weak on the updating front you can bet Mum will be in touch requesting we pull our fingers out. We also collected Dad to make sure we had someone give us…

Route around East Timor After bee-lining to Darwin to barely make the shipping cut-off we flew to Dili, East Timor. The shipping mob told us that we should have the bikes in a week or so… “OR SO”. Little did we realise it would be four weeks before we saw our bikes again, which was…
