- MUST watch before crossing the Nullarbor, details on water and supplies focused on cycling the Nullarbor and what the Roadhouses have to offer
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". I'll thrive to live off-grid 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.
❤❤❤❤

I love cycling, but this is on another level. Kudos to you mate. 👍✊
Lots more to come I think I’ve only done 5000 km another 11000 more 🤪
Thanks to your physically hard journey, I got to view it from the comforts of my couch in Rhode Island, USA. I hope you will always treasure your trip on the road. Stay safe, Laura
lol thank you for the comment, I start my journey again from the 10 May. Only have 7000km left of my 15000km trip
Well done lostdigger. There is a solo, unsupported bike race each year Fremantle to Sydney. Will update with the info from here on the group page. Yalata was not operating at all last year & Yellowdine (between Southern Cross & Coolgardie) burned down in January. It's a fantastic trip on bicycle. I'm assuming you had tailwind as we always get headwinds going the other way. 🍕🚴🍍
Hi, I’ve hosted people doing this race when I lived in Fremantle. Great ride, you get to see so much more. I was going West and the winds where kind to me blowing SSE had them on my left shoulder until last day when temps got into the high 30’s, the winds started blowing SW that was rough like opening an oven door. Predominant the winds in March for the race gets WSW so should be good.

I drove this with my brother in law 2019 amazing trip. I have always wanted to cycle it after reading Cold Beers and Crocodiles. Maybe when I retire hopefully.
it has a lot of hidden treasures that you would never see otherwise
Bloody awesome, once I have finished setting up my Cave diving adventure business, I want to drive it
So many caves to explore! I’ve done 3 in the last 24 hrs from your recommendations. Those caves in Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos should be interesting. Have 3-5 more caves I want to explore in Thailand 🇹🇭 in the next 2 days
@@lostdigger you are living the dream, a great explorer
