Big thanks to everyone for making it one of the best highlight for me as much as i liked running over the Giles & Rex range the run up to Cooktown was outstanding

Trophy for " The Hero of the Trip "


goes to Greeny you
Remind me not to get into a fight with you Pain what pain
Greeny had a spill to hot into the servo( high speed riding for a long time you loose sence of it when time to slow down ) last monday on our way up to Cairns
He was in pain & put up with it all week didnt see a doc.
did the trip headed home them saw the doc wed
he has a spiral fracture of his fibula & had to get straight to the Orthopaedic Surgeons
because he had left it so long. The doc couldnt beleive he put up withthe pain.
Its holding together by a thread of tendon if it lets go the bone will spear out the side of his leg.
They tried to straighten it&cast it but that has failed & now needs an OP to screw it together

Get well soon pal

To help you with those memories of the trip Greeny , Barry has almost completed making the Dvd set and will be posting them to you and everyone on the trip very soon.
It's going to be a 4 disc set. Barry gave a preview to Shane and myself last night at Breakfast creek. We got 2 discs with another 2 discs coming. This will give you something to watch over and over while you recover. They are fantastic , brings back the magic.
Thanks heaps Barry , a job well done , I'm sure everyone will appreciate your work. Trophy
