Tire fixed (Gladstone - 29/01)
Way and back in 2h30!!
Ok the tire is fixed but with a smaller tube (140 for a tire of 160).
The boss of the Suzuki shop in Gladstone said it is OK as the tube is from a
good brand (Michelin which is French and that does not make feel better...).
If anything happens we know who to court...
And thank you to Motul with there expensive useless product!!

On the way for getting the tire fixed (Gladstone TAS - 29/01)
Nobody can fix my tire in Gladstone, I have to go at Scottsdale which is the
nearest city with a motorbike workshop. Still, it is at 70km far...
Furthermore, the tube I need is very rare, I hope they have it...
Illegal Camping (Gladstone - 29/01)
Here we are at the picnic area of Gladstone doing illegal camping..
Well we've got no choice: already I had to drive 5km on a flat tire and we
were exhausted!!

Let's party... (Alice Springs NT - 19/01)
On the last night of our tour we had all dinner together at the Rock Bar and
then the party got started...
We had a great travel group of 19 people all together with 10 different
nationalities: Sweden, Netherland, France, England, Austria, Croatia,
Germany, Spain, Canada and Slovenia. A really multi-cultural mix...

Day 3 - Feeling the spirit...(Uluru NT - 19/01)
Found 350km south-west of Alice Springs, the world's largest monolith lies
in strong contrast to its flat desert surrounds. ULURU is 343 metres high,
3.6 kms long, 2.4 kms wide and 8 kms in circumference. In Aboriginal
mythology, Uluru means MEETING PLACE, sacred home to the many Dreamtime
legends which are depitched in paintings and carvings around the rock.
The coulour of the rock appears to change continously through the day and
especially by sunrise and sunset.
Thought to be 600 million years old, visitors see just a small fraction of
what must be under the surface. Some geologists believe that the roots
actually go down more than 6000 metres.

Day 2 - Kata Tjuta & Uluru (Uluru-Kata Tjuta Nat. Park NT - 18/01)
On the second day we had a 3 hour walk through the Valley of Winds at Kata
Tjuta. In the afternoon we went to the Aboriginal Cultural Center, did the
Mala Walk next to the Uluru and spent the evening as-well next to the rock.
We had our dinner while watching the sunset over Uluru.
