Sometimes in life, we get lucky. My trip to Hervey Bay to see a mate was like that. The weather was mixed, but I enjoyed it all. Just about anywhere I go on a motorcycle is fun. Especially alone. There is something special about being able to stop when you want, enjoy what you want and not have to worry about what anyone else wants or needs. I know that sounds selfish, but with a 7 year old daughter to worry about, sometimes it is good to just do what I want!
Visited my second oldest daughter in Sydney and then headed north up the coast. It was blowing a gale and challenging on the bike, but good. The is Taree, I think.
Next day up to Brisbane to argue about whether Greenhouse is real - or not - with a friend from 40 years ago at uni. I argue in the affirmative, but to no avail.
I stay with another friend from my days in the Weather Bureau and get up to perfect weather for whale watching! Nobody actually expects to see a whale up close - right? A dot on the horizon was my expectation, but it was a nice, sunny day, so what the hell. I couldn't have been more wrong!
What a trip!
Then my wife's car broke down back in Melbourne and I had to high-tail it back home. 2,500 kms in two and a half days. Couldn't have done it without the cruise control.
