The Gulf to Gulf Mission

We’re riding Gulf to Gulf to help bridge the poverty gulf among the poor children of Bangladesh. Won't you ride with us from the comfort of your computer and consider making a donation? We're riding from the Gulf of Carpentaria to the Spencer Gulf , via the Birdsville Track. Check out the route map at the bottom of the page.

We want to raise $10,000 to fund the education (up to Year 2) for 1 year for 600 children in Bangladesh, who otherwise will miss out on a basic education. Read the donation page for all the details -- we would really appreciate your support. This project is administered by TEAR Australia in association with Symbiosis International.

Our steeds

We want good, reliable bikes for the Gulf to Gulf extravaganza. We're throwing our legs over a pair of Suzuki DR650s, prepared by Gary at Wombat Motorcycles. These are tried and tested 650cc single cylinder, road/trail bikes that have been in production since 1990. They don't come much simpler: one cylinder, two wheels, no fancy bodywork, a bum numbing seat.
The Wombat bikes come with long range fuel tanks that will get us from Birdsville to Marree ... we hope. Cat not included.
