It's a long way across Day 1

    Day 1
    Very late start, especially given that I had intended to start the day before on the Wednesday. So I got away at about 2.00pm on Thursday the 25th Mar.
     
     
    Here is the Sportsta at the war memorial at Monument Hill, Albury polished & headed to the west.
     The weather was perfect & the road was good & I really felt invigorated to have a huge ride (for me) ahead, albeit a little bit straight & potentially boring.
    I took the route on the North side of the River Murray cos Google told me it was the quickest to Adelaide, and it probably was. I stopped at Mulamein that night at a nice little cabin in the local c/van pk.
    Cheap, clean & the owners were very friendly, they had just moved from Mackay 3 wks before. Had a meal at the local pub & the meal was not cheap & it was really crap, fish & chips, for a town that appeared to give itself a rap as being a fishing town (on the Edward River) bad fish & chips at the pub is not a good look.
    For my navigation I just printed out Google maps from here http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&tab=wl
    This was a bad move to save a little bit of money, as depending on what zoom you print out your map at it leaves out some towns but with no noticeable reasoning. So I needed somewhere to stay cos of light & fuel but Moulamein was not on my map, good job I asked some locals in Deniliquin.
    Next stop Adelaide!!

    OK I will work out how to get better images in here soon.

    And now that I have worked it out here is another pic with a nice Japanese lady posing in the background for me.
