With a couple of assignments for the R M Williams Outback Magazine on the go, access to the internet will be a bit haphazard over the next two and a half months.

I don’t want to steal the magazine’s thunder but there’s a lot of kilometres and some very interesting country involved.

However I will continue to put up new photos on this page wherever possible.

For those who subscribe to “The Sentimental Bloke” that’s not going to be a problem because each new photograph will come via an email.

For those who haven’t used this service, it’s pretty easy. Just put your email address in the box on the top right hand side of the home page. Your email address remains confidential and the service is free.

Too easy!

There’s also the RSS option, also at the top right of the page , for those who understand such things..

The machine is an old Indian motorbike, Second World War vintage.

A beautiful old bike, unfortunately a little banged up.

Not half as bad as the rider though. The pair came a cropper on a dirt road in the central Flinders.

The rider got a broken collarbone in the spill.

And with the rest of the journey with his mates still to go, the prospect is a little daunting.

First they are heading up the Birdsville Track to Birdsville…no mean feat on a heavy bike like this over hundreds of kilometres of dirt and sand.

From there the group is before heading East and home to Sydney….a journey of many hundreds of kilometres.

That’s keen. But he did say he had plenty of pain killers.
