Crossing the Eyre Peninsula S3 Ep.5

After leaving the Nullarbor behind, its time to head for Port Augusta. Intending to go South I am chased away by incoming thunderstorms. I have little other choice then to make way for mother nature and head north. Hopefully back to the security of clear skies.

Damn good effort. Thank you.

Another great vid lee. How about a video dedicated just to your bike and how you set it up for bike packing. What you carry etc.... that would be cool.

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Cheers bro. Great minds hey! That video is already in the hands of the production team 😜

Lucky to secure the air bed, better than sleeping on the ground. That $15 campsite even provided a plastic chair and bottle crate tables.🙂

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Absolutely, winning all the way around 😁

Great vid & series. Nice share. Ride safe

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Thanks Steve, appreciate it 👍

Port Augusta is ok, recent Bikes SA event started & finished there. Locals were great :)

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Yes i met some lovely locals also, could sense their frustration.

Another great video, Lee. How'd they get all the gear, bike and passport from the Euro cycler? Did they actually stick him up at gun or knife point? Sounds a bit goofy he didn't have his passport/money/essentials with him in a fanny pack on his body. Did he say how they got his stuff? At night, daytime, what TF? Keep pedaling and stay safe.

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Cheers Mike, na the poor bastard left his bike unlocked outside a shop and they just rode off on it. He showed me a picture of the guy who stole it. Cops say that the guy is known to them but they can't do anything. Why? I hear you asking! Well from what I've been told it's a tricky situation with the aboriginal community here. Been told by several residents, business owners and even the police that they know the system and have pretty much free reign. The elder people often get the younger ones to go do crime as they know nothing will happen. Everyone I have spoken too has had the identical experience and views.

I was watching your latest video I hear you're talking about going through Wilcannia NSW I would avoid that town they have got problems with indigenous people up there not many white Aussies stop at that town I've been up that way and we just drove straight through and went up to White Cliffs opal mining town probably a little bit out of your way we were in a 4 X 4 hope this information helps

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Thanks Shane, I appreciate the heads up.

[@williamshafer3199]

Great respect & LOVE to our indigenous bruddas & sistas of Wilcannia, Barrka River & Far West NSW! :)

Great effort Bro! Love you vids. Are you shooting it all on a go pro?

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Cheers mate. Dji Osmo action 3 and Dji mini3 pro drone.

What does the 25,238 m elevation mean? You are doing well.

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

That's the accumulated elevation gain since leaving Perth. How much up hill riding basically.

[@mwe1337]

Mate what sought of bike do you have for this Aussie touring as im looking to do some in not to distant future?

[@Lynx-and-the-Falcon]

Ive got a Giant talon2 2021. I bought it new in Thailand for about $600. I upgraded the fork and changed the gears from a 24spd to a 12spd. Done about 14,000km touring and she's strong.

[@mwe1337]
