Mount Augustus (known as Burringurrah to the local Wajarri Aboriginal people) rises abruptly 715m out of the surrounding stony, red sandplain. The mount is 1105m above sea level. The rock is about 8km long and twice the size of Uluru (Ayers Rock) in central Australia.
The difference between Uluru and Mt Augustus is that Uluru is a rock monolith consisting of a single rock while Mt Augustus is a monocline formed by a geological linear, strata dip in one direction between horizontal layers on each side.

One impressive monocline!

The Ride

A group of suburban biker wannabes looking for adventure hit the open road, but get more than they bargained for when they encounter a New Mexico gang ...
Oops, that’s Wild Hogs.

A group of suburban wannabes looking for adventure hit the open road, but get more than they bargained for when they encounter:
• The cool morning air while riding out of Perth.
• Credit card fuel pumps that make their own rules.
• Cattle stations that just appear at the end of gazetted roads.
• Small country pubs with characters only outback Australia can produce.
• The cold looks when five, red dirt covered bikes park near them.
• 2.5m red kangaroos.
• Random DR650 riders who cannot turn their fuel taps on.
• Flocks of suicidal Budgerigars.
• Pubs with no icecream.
• The terror of guiding an overweight dirtbike through a riverbed/track/road.
• The realization that a DR650 will not run on unleaded fumes.
• The realization that some people cannot cut and paste.

Highlights.
Cruising some amazing tracks, just following a GPS line designed by Mick450 who unfortunately couldn’t join us this time, great work Mick.

Following Tommy along a road as wide as the GCR that suddenly turns into a single lane that turns into a rive bed 200kms from anywhere.

Watching the four other riders wrestle through creek beds and rocky tracks and having a chat about anything but Perth traffic.

Important information.

Ice cream is for children!
Credit card fuel browsers suck!
Not everyone can cut and paste!
Tenere’s are heavy even when the only luggage is a can opener and a tent.
And......Ice cream is for children!

Thanks lads. See you next year in South Australia, Flinders Ranges.
