Motorcycle: Ducati ST2
Where: Darwin NT to Melbourne VIC
When, how long and how far: September 2012, approx. three weeks and 6,300km
Comments: Wanted to complete the round Australia trip on bitumen, so decided to fly and send the ST2 up to Darwin again by truck, and ride it down the east coast to Melbourne. In the NT and western QLD the weather was pretty hot, but perfect later on.
