Onya Dude
Bol :woohoo:Day 8
Woke up with ants in my hair and just before the sun rose over the sea. :blink: Got the campfire going and jammed about 10 ciggies into me. More drugs please. :silly:
We had a big breaky and packed all our stuff up. The lads rode down to the wharf in Seisa with their board shorts and bike boots on. A rather humorous sight indeed. They all gave their bikes a little kiss goodbye and we all bundled onto the ferry to head off for the morning at Thursday Island. Graham & Jordan waved us off and were probably pretty happy to see the end of us. :laugh:
The trip to Thursday Island was about 45 minutes and it was very relaxing. Abandoned ship at Thursday Island and made our way into the township. We attacked like good tourist do, buying souvenirs left right and centre. We did our best to support the local economy. House and I decided to check out Green hill which an old fort was built at the turn of the last century to blow the communists out of the water if they ever turned up. It was also used in the first and second World Wars. Plenty of history and learnt a lot about the area, its people and its past military and pearl history. Everyone else was at the pub. :woohoo: Eventually House and I joined them and we drank scotch in the most Northerly Pub in Australia. Very cool.
We made our way back to the wharf and got on another ferry which took us to Horn Island. Wolferis gave me another Endone and I slept on the flight all the way back to Cairns, I think I snored. We landed in Cairns and Renae Kunda met us at the airport with our kit bags. We also scored a t- shirt with the Company’s logo on it. We went back to our motel and had a really really good long hot shower. Not that I need one, but the other two stunk like pole cats. :sick:
For some strange reason we were hungry little Hippos and walked the streets of Cairns looking for some bloody Jap restaurant that Wolferis was dying to go to. We eventually found it and those bastards made me eat Eel. :sick:
We were proper chockers and had eaten what felt like a small whale calf. We rolled back to our Motel and ran into a few of the other fellas on the way back who were looking a bit glassy eyed and enjoying their last night in Far Nth Queensland.
We caught our flight back the next morning and our Epic Adventure had come to a conclusion. What a trip, what a life experience. “Cape York motorcycle adventures” is the company to go with if you are thinking of doing a guided tour up this way. They are exceptional. :cheer:
To my wingmen House and Wolferis, cheers for looking after me after I bit the dust, but really, you could have gone that extra yard and assisted me when I needed to wipe my bum. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I couldn’t have asked to two better blokes to have either side of me on those dusty tracks of Far North Queensland.
Cya later and don’t come back

Day 7
Shizenhouzin sleep in a camp chair last night. :angry: Collar bone is killin me. :pinch:
Today is the day we hit the very top of Australia. Everyone was pretty pumped. :cheer:
The lads fuelled up in town and I wished them all good luck as the rode off towards the tip. Roy and I headed out in the support vehicle and wasn’t that a bumpy bastard of a road. :blink: We parked on the beach at Frangipani Bay and greeted the lads as they landed on the beach one at a time. :cheer: :cheer: The tide was out so we could walk around to the headland via the beach. We all posed at the sign and photos going off everywhere. It truly was a feeling of accomplishment and achievement to ride this far through such a variation of country. It was as epic experience to finish the trip with my two ugly mates, House and Wolferus..even if I was in the support vehicle for the last little bit.
Once we all finished our Yeharrs, Woohoos and Yeah Baby’s !!! :woohoo: :woohoo: We headed South.
The lads took off to another beach to ride like mad units and do the best they could to kill each other and do their best impersonations of Steve McQueen :laugh:
Roy and I went off to collect some firewood and get some lunch ready .The rest of the afternoon was ours to do as we pleased. House and Wolferis went fishing and I went for a chopper ride with Simon & Chris. Beers on the beach at sunset, very cool.
The final dinner was exceptional. Roast lamb with all the trimmings, all from the camp oven again. :cheer: Some very interesting conversations around the campfire that night. :whistle:
Drifted off to sleep chockers with Endone on another glorious” King coil” camp chair with my head resting up against a tree. :pinch:Simon shows us his guts at breakfast :sick:
