Australian Adventure Bike ride!

FTA principal Dave Hancock is off on a one a decade trip to the flooded Australian deserts. Seems a massive hurricane has come through and Dave will be back in a week with more images.

Dave writes:
"The bikes are Kawasaki KLR 650's - great long distance on/off road tourers,and the bike of choice for a lot of people doing intercontinental runs!

We'll do a 700km round trip on dirt to get to Mt Augustus - the whole area is flooded to varying degrees, but we think there is a way thru along some high ground. One major river course, that has been dry for 6 years, is now a staggering 9 metres (20+ft) deep."


Its not just mountaineering at Field Touring but adventure of every kind! If you are interested in joining adventure rides let Dave know at

Cheers,

Stu in the US office

The first time I was granted an Australian visa, it was for business purposes, hopefully this summer, I will get the chance to experience the Australian outback. The picture, specially the one with the beautiful moon, seems to show a great view of the country and it seems very exciting
to cruise around from city to city. My question will be would I need (or how) to get an Australian license when I have to drive?
