Bevan has shipped himself and his BMW Bike to Far North Queensland for a madcap three weeks of touring the Gulf. What this entails is riding dusty tracks, camping in the great outdoors near beautiful croc-infested water holes, and racing full tilt across croc-infested rivers. What an IDIOT!
Fortunately, on this tour he has stopped to take a stunning photo or three so let’s see how his trip is progressing from the safety of our lounge chairs. This is what Week 1 looked like 🙂
