We eventually made it to the rendevouz point where we met up with Pat, who when he combines his powers with that of his KTM950Adventure becomes...Pumpkinzilla.
L to R: P-Zilla, Mang, Tyso
P-Zilla formed our advance guard, up the highway to Mandurah and on to the bottom of the freeway to Perth, where we pulled in and met up with a couple of the Barrick guys who had come out to escort us in to the RFDS base at Jandakot airport.
We headed in with our little convoy, and on arrival met with the RFDS base staff, Dave from Barrick, and Peter from Nexus. Dave was present to hand over the latest in a long series of cheque's from Barrick to the RFDS - this one was for $40,000! Fortunately the 'Barrick' RFDS plane was in that day too, so we got some great snaps for Barrick's publicity... and so we should too - we went to all of the Barrick sites on mainland Australia, and were welcomed warmly at all of them.
Between all of the Barrick sites we collected well over $10,000, all donated by the employees on site for the benefit of the RFDS in their state.... we take off our helmets to you.
All in all a great way to finish the ride. Thanks to everyone who helped make it happen!
Cheers,
Neil and Tom
