Grant and Susan in Australia
Extra brief Summary (more at a later (very carefully unspecified) date)
We lived and worked in Australia for over 5 years, first in Sydney, then in Melbourne. Our motorcycle touring consisted of the eastern and southern coast, as well as the state of Victoria. Grant travelled by air-conditioned car to Uluru (Ayers Rock) and along the Oodnadatta Track through the Red Centre.
Just to prove we really were in Australia with the bike:
