Day 1:  Starting in Bribie Island the riders were faced with the difficult terrain of Queensland's rainforests and recent floods made the trek across the state a bit of a challenge.

Day 1: The riders still couldn't resist the temptation of the water.

Day 1:  As the day drew to an end we found our way to Westmar where we were entertained by local artist Tommy Lee Archer.

Day 2:  Leaving Westmar the riders were faced with the start of the long dry dirt roads.  That night we bunked at a little place that consisted of just a pub and hall called Toompine.  It was an interesting night as everyone slept in the hall; there were noises we never knew existed coming from some of those men.

Day 6:  After half a day with out photographing the riders when they did show up at Kings Creek Station some decided to show off.

Day 7:  (Lay Day at Kings Creek Station)  Today was aimed at getting aerial shots of the riders along the nearby dirt roads.

Day 9:  We stopped at Oodnadatta for lunch and were greeted by some on the locals at the Pink Roadhouse.

Day 9:  We made it to William Creek late afternoon which was also our camp ground for the night.  Just thought the above image was quite humorous. 

Day 9:  Inside the pub was incredible; so many different things on the walls to look at.  People as they pass through stick an item of theirs on the wall or roof.  The flies were particularly bad here but the atomosphere that night was great.
