The Great Central Road - Ep. 04 Cooktown - Chillagoe - Forsayth
Almost 19.000 km over 42 riding days. We ticked off the iconic Great Central Road, also known as The longest Australian’s shortcut. As we normally do, we take long way around, never strait to the target. We were riding in four states and one territory through the outback, in four different time zones.
Riding to North Queensland, then Northern Territory, down to Uluru, did The Great Central Road, western coast and finally home through Nullarbor.
The main goal was to tick off The Great Central Road.
Fully loaded left the Gold Coast on 18th of July and came back on 09th of September 2024.
My new BMW R1300GS was on endurance test. On some points had failed but overall performed well.

      Not very nice in the fog, just take it easy. Positive side of the fog (and early ride) are empty roads. I have my visor up on the Hwy and when is raining, but in general somewhere in the middle. I preferer to look above the visor.

      Hi, thank you for your comment. That trip was our first long trip on adventure bikes, we were newbies on that kind of riding, our very first adventure bikes (before we had Harleys). We took some beginners off road training, watched plenty of UA-cam videos... planned our trip and the rest is history. 😊 I must admit I was nervous but at the end all went very well and we become addicted. Some basic tips: good planning and navigation, be fit, take enough water and some emergency food, tools, tyre repair kit (I had a puncture on the way to Cape York), we normally take tent and sleeping bag (so far we used it ones in Cape York), also plan some rest days, maybe new tyre needed / service. If you are not new on adventure bike, you probably already know all this 😊. Enjoy you trip and let me know how it went. Regards from the Gold Coast.
