Back in the West

After leaving Shoal Bay on the 11th September, we headed for the Moyes factory in Sydney hoping to leave the rain behind us, I think we where wishing.

The whole time we had be towing around a huge trailer which included our Microlight and the four demo gilders that we where given by Moyes at the start of the year (which where meant to go back however Moyes kindly allowed us to keep.) and not one accident and of cause just as we where leaving to travel home, Shaun ran into the Keep Left sign at the car park but we got away with little damage.

After leaving Sydney we headed for Tumut for the night, but we ended up in Gundagai for the night.
Tumut was lovely and green with hills every where, only if it wasn’t so far away from Sydney or Melbourne then we may have stayed longer.

Know it was time to head home, Shaun and I where planning to fly the Great Australia Bight on the way over east however the wind was to strong, but on the way home it was just right well sort off, so after staying at the Nullarbor Hotel for the night, Shaun and I headed up the Microlight.
Jackie was our pilot well sort of Shaun gave instructions to follow us in case was had to land short, well that didn’t work, Shaun and I were sitting in the trike waking good bye to the car as it shot of in the distance across the Nullarbor.
2 hours later we landed with about a litre of fuel left in the trike at Eucla.

Then it was of the Kalgoorlie for the weekend, having not had one problem with the trailer the whole way from W.A, NSW and QLD, about an hour out of Perth was had two blow outs causing us to use the last spare tyre.

Above are some Pictures of our trip, I didn’t get chance to take may pictures as it rained none stop and well we all know what rain looks like.

Enjoy..
