Awesome ride with lovely people, whose touring experience ranged from 2 people on their first tour, to 2 people who've ridden around Australia. Definitely want to ride around Australia some time :) And the weather held out perfectly (apart from rizzle the first day) despite the forecast.
Thanks to Jim and Ezy and my parents and Christoph and Bunnings for making sure I had everything I needed and that my gears worked :)
