The epic journey is over.
 
Here he is arriving at Barbara's place in Broome. He is infront of a large sign we made for him.
 
Thankyou to everyone who has donated to his cause and all the amazing messages of support he has received along the way.
 
We are so proud of Graeme and Jarrad and this epic ride. 

Graeme & Jazz will now have some well earned r & r in Broome.
 
 
 

The dream is a reality now. It's all over. We are now at my sister's place in Bray Place Broome.
 
Pretty easy riding, had a big breakfast at Roebuck Plains Roadhouse, then road in to Broome with Jazz and the Men's Shed behind me for an escort.
 
Lovely to see my family again. Just having a celebratory beer after a pie and chips.
 
I'd like to thank everyone for their support over the last 2 months.
 
All the donations and comments are very much appreciated so thank you all!!

One more day

Second last day of riding today. Got through the 97kms fairly easily, not much wind about.

Had an evening beer with Jazz before Amanda, my sister and her friend Kevin came out to have dinner with us.

Kev cooked us a mean curry. Had to send them home early though to get to bed in preparation for tomorrow. One day left and the journey is over.






Nearly there!

After today's 100 km's they will only have 55km's to ride into Broome tomorrow!

Graeme has reached his goal and raised an amazing $10,095!!  


Second last night before Broome!

Only a 60km day today. Pretty easy going. Had our last pasta on the road, very nice park. Second last night before Broome!!!


Friday 5 July 2013

Had a very nice rest day yesterday at the c/park, lots of wild life roaming around. My friend, the wind was very kind to me today. It allowed me to do 106kms very quickly, very flat, saw some Borogas dancing 200kms out of Broome!!!

Pardoo

Been smashed with headwinds the last two days. Met some more riders going from Broome to Sydney. Stayed at De Grey River last night, beautiful spot. Currently at Pardoo Roadhouse in a very full caravan park out the back. Just about to go get a counter meal.
