BMW 1200 roadtrip in March 2011 to Victoria - Alps, Great ocean Rd, Grampians all visited. Accompanied by Rob Mitchell in "Daisy" his yellow Triumph convertible.
Some photos of the birthday bash! Great time had by all. Fortunately Sandy took the photos. Good to catch up with some old friends (one I had not seen since matric in 1976 !).
An hours drive from Uluru are another set of "rocks" which are equally spectacular. Awesome colours. We walked through them and around them - a 2hr 8km walk. Really is beautiful. I can't imagine how hot it must get during summer ! The sky is - well BLUE ! Enjoy
This next set of photos was taken on our walk around the rock - app. 9km. In the shadow of the monster with its changing colours against the backdrop of blue sky. Awesome.
Sequential shots of sunrise at Uluru. Awesome. Its was an overcast morning with only a small gap between the clouds and horizon so the sun only shone on the rock for 10 minutes at that - it lit up like a beacon and just as quickly faded into a dull red or ochre colour. Quite amazing - it feels like it radiates heat. I can see why it has spiritual significance to the aborigines. Sunset was similar but not as majestic (photos to follow).
Darwin to Melbourne (coast to coast) - awesome experience and an opportunity to experience a side of Australia not many people get to see on the back of a BMW GS650.
