I was impressed with the detail and enjoyed reading TacKler's most recent writing of the RossKKo ride to Rylstone.
I had to keep zooming in on Google maps to locate most of the small communities mentioned in the article.
I wouldn't mind asking a few questions as certain things puzzled me and obviously show my lack of knowledge or naivete of Australia.
I know the cold season is opposite to here in Canada but your comments "Guyra where it was reputed to be warming up at 2 deg C; Charlie and I both parked outside and awoke to frost on the bikes." surprise me as I always think of cold in Australia as being 10 C not 2 C.
Your Hotel/Motel comments "more than adequate with a heated room"; wouldn't most rooms be heated?
Also "An outside toilet and shower upstairs", you don't mean an outhouse do you?
The comments regarding Mexico, south of the border -- what Border?
Finally please explain "the NRMA guy and his Mintie"
Thank you you for a small mental trip, as we are still under a number of travel restrictions here in British Columbia.
