Diana's packing (Murwillumbah NSW - 26/11/2009)

Here is the friend of the day (Murwillumbah NSW - 25/11/2009)

Naked (Murwillumbah NSW - 25/11/2009)

The screwpath of the screws holding the valve lid are dead...
I have to create a new screwpath: oh little Coke can, you could be useful
again!! I know that's not very clean, but that works: I folded a piece of
the can around the screws and that holds everything where the screwpath used
to be.

Smile it could be worse (Murwillumbah NSW - 25/11/2009)

The bike is still running, we are getting lunch before the reparation
session.

Oil incident (Numinbah NSW - 25/11/2009)

Oil is jumping out of the engine of Diana's bike!!
Fortunately, we always have a bottle of oil and we just had enough to top up
(nearly half a litre). We were in the middle of nowhere and we needed an
idea to stop the leaking.
We usually hate people throwing litter everywhere, this time, this Coke can
was helpful!!
The nearest caravan park is at 20km, we have to drive steady steady.

Pic-nic next to the tourist information (Monto QLD - 19/11/2009)

Lonely Potato Tree (Banana shire QLD - 19/11/2009)

Second stormy night (Moura QLD - 19/11/2009)

Yesterday, we had one record as we rode for 398km in the day!
We arrived before the storm and could settle down quietly at a free rest
area. Nice people were around, so we were not scared to sleep (I think the
main reason was that we were very exhausted).
The storm started at the beginning of the night, luckily not above us but
around, and we could enjoy a nice light and sound show in the sky.

Threatening clouds (Rolleston QLD - 18/11/2009)

We have to hurry before they get darker!!!
