- Last minute gear check and organising everything I might or will need!
Welcome to Lostdigger - join me whilst i take you on my bike packing adventures as I circumnavigate Australia (Nov 2023 start) on my Surly Ogre Touring bike, raising awareness for the "Black Dog". Ill thrive to live offgrid and free camp whilst travelling cross country, around all the byways, side tracks in between.
I was in the Australian Defence Force, and have been for the past 25 years. As I start this CZcams channel i'm going through a unplanned and suprising medical seperation from the ADF, due to a multitude of service related injuries.
After to lossing 12 close friends to suicide! all within 3 years, all from emergency services background, I want to bring awerness to the "Black Dog" that high profile occupations deal with, once they leave that career. They dont have that "community" they once had.I have come to release this is all a common dominator from professions that deal with high risk.
If you want me to travel certain areas whislt I discover Australia, or the world! send a message would luv to heasr from you.
❤❤❤
Good luck cuz!

Looking forward to what you find along the way. 😘

Hey there. Saw you slogging your way up out of Queanbeyan. The first hill has to be the worst one. 😂
And you've been talking with Peter at our letterbox. I think he was hoping for tales of adventure from your trip. Probably not much to tell on day1 though.
have subscribed and I'll be watching your progress with interest. Best of luck.
Hi, we had a great chat. never trust google maps and put in Cycle route, it took me through private Property.s over fences and up some questionable tracks. great that your following.
How have the Surly Extraterrestrials been holding up? I've been thinking of getting them to replace my Schwalbe Almotion 29x2.15.
They are great. I have recently totally changed my wheels and tyres. I’m currently in Asia on a Sabbatical waiting for the weather to cool down so I can cycle up to Broome to and then across the top end. Weather there has been averaging 38-44
