Day 25 saw Neil's slightly thrashed BMW back loaded onto a low loader heading out from the minesite, courtesy of Brad and Lisa from NQ Heavy Haulage. The bike was trammed out to Burke and Wills where Neil decided he wanted another crack, so the bike was unloaded and we rode the three hours into Mt Isa. Meanwhile, another cunning plan was hatched, that would enable the trip to go on, and for us to still meet our committments at Bootu Creek and Gove. Neil arranged a 4WD hire in Isa, and a trailer for the bike, there being a considerable question mark hanging over the front brakes, we considered it might possibly be dodgy for the ride into Gove. Unfortunately due to this mishap we missed our mine visit to Birla Mt Gordon, which is a shame after the organising they had done to receive us.
Oversize....
