The Cat's Away — Day 17

Walcha to Brisbane

Master Map

Until I got to Casino, my route took me backwards along Day 1's route. Mercifully, it wasn't quite as hot. From Casino, I went north to Kyogle and the Lions Road. At a stop in Grafton I saw this bike.

Somewhere later on I took a photo of a milestone, but it was taken on the move and is not worth showing. I also took this photo of the CB at the New South Wales-Queensland border where I chucked a couple of bucks in the Lions Road collection tin. There's information on the Lions Road here.

A stop for fuel and water and a minor skirmish with traffic on the motorway and I was home.

I was away 17 days, covered 6,375 kilometres, and used 316 litres of fuel at 4.95 litres/100 kms. The CB1100 performed magnificently and passed 100,000 kms on Day 1. The odometer said 106,172 kilometres when I got home.

Better than those statistics, I got to visit three great blokes I met through a CB1100 forum and with whom it is always a great pleasure to catch up.
