    This video brought tears to my eyes. I’d gone from Sydney to Perth alone while in my 40s. I found Darwin to SYD a much harder ride via the Alice, port Augusta, Adelaide, great ocean road then the south coast to SYD. However, after ten thousand km in the back of beyond. I swore the next time would be on a bike with a throttle and 650 cc. My ride across the Nullarbor was in April. Never saw a drop of rain. Never hit any of the roaring 40s. At the end before we fall off the perch, about all we have left are memories.

    You know, you two are an inspiration to humanity. Absolutely. Crikey Tobi there at the beginning of this video where you rode up to the edge of the cliff, if your brakes had failed at that moment you would have taken a header over the edge. .Anyway its good see that you've both endured very well to date and as usual always a big positive smile for the camera. How much longer are you intending to stay in Oz. As you explained before you've still quite few klms yet to get to Perth, when will that be? Did you get to see a Kohala in the end. You rode past quite a few, but because they blend in so well and you've got keep an eye on the road, its very easy to miss them. They're just a bundle of leaves, that they blend in so well. 30,000 klms, that's a bloody long way. Crickey 2 years and your still together, truly beautiful to see this. It's a great pity that so many others don't have your attitude towards their partners as you 2 do. Sure it wouldn't be a perpetual bed of roses. Yes, but amongst those thorns there live some really beautiful flowers and you show them to us in your videos. All the very best for the rest of your trip, I pray the wind God stays at your backs.👍👍👍👍💯.

    @gjcoop5625 Год назад +2

    That drone gives great context to how remote the ride is. The joy of camping, when not blowing a gale, is clear. Australia has a lot going for it when you can just pull off the road a bit, just behind that bush, and no one cares. It's even legal once you are out of the cities as a legacy of the sheep-droving days in the 19th Century. The silly myth of Australia having dangerous animals seems to have been shown just that. They are there, but you seldom see them. Those caravan drivers are a real fear. And a few cyclists have been wiped out by those long truck "roadtrains". By the way, if you want to avoid the traffic there was always the Great Central Road from Uluru to near Kalgoorlie. I guess you just have to come back sometime. Happy trails!

    Ok Ok Ok a second comment from me here in New Hampshire. So yea. There is a word and concept that is relatively common in the USA hiking world. One of my very most favorite words ~ even more than the term "brand new." ✨Bivouac ✨. Obviously derived from France. You guys demonstrate the value of this term in almost all your videos. Maybe there is a similar German term ~ don't know. I think of this term often. I am retired, family in Ohio, living alone on a very special slice of land here in New Hampshire. Fixed income. Just getting by, but so happy. Yep. I have been bivouacked for years. You know the meaning ~ share the german word for this. I know you can.

    Rode the Nullarbor in 2002 as part of a round-Aus trip. So many people told us it would be so boring but for us it was a real highlight. One of our favourite parts of our round-Aus trip. My conclusion is it might be boring in a car, but magic on a bicycle.
