RUST magazine: RUST Australia Special

RUST magazine: RUST Australia Special We join Touratech on a three-week adventure ride into The Outback! The guys at Touratech HQ had a seriously busy 2016, so what did they do to find some stress relief at the end of the year? Yep, they jumped on their bikes and went for an adventure ride! Again, through our special relationship with the T-Team, our editor JB got invited along. And he was so glad he was, as the Outback ride became his ride of the year. Australia is no hidden gem but sometimes it might just be a little underrated – in the words of the Australians themselves: the country is ‘sensational’. So here’s that trip, in JB’s words and pictures (and those of his companions). And we guarantee after reading this you’ll want an Australian adventure of your own. Oh, and keep an eye on Touratech’s website, come June they’ll have a full-length film of the adventure… We trust you’ll enjoy it! JON BENTMAN (Editor, RUST)

speed records. So far we’d delighted in our ride through Southern australia,<br />

taking the time to get off our bikes, to investigate, to spend time with the locals.<br />

To absorb. To relax. alice Springs, we decided, could wait for another day.<br />

So, still in part against our desires – turning back toward Melbourne was in<br />

itself an act of facing up to the end of the adventure – we headed south.<br />

Of course we dragged our heels, making a lazy sweep through the verdant<br />

green Barossa and McLaren valleys, a wine-growing region that surrounds<br />

adelaide – so genteel after the rugged simplicity of the Outback.<br />
