    Did you know that Australia was recently ranked the 6th best country to travel by long-distance bike travellers? 🦘
    I made a video about the other top-10 countries here: th-cam.com/video/tu_abG1PxQI/w-d-xo.html

      I really enjoyed your impressions of our country. Could I point out a bias that came through your narrative? The first peoples of Australia are diverse from around 150 nations, and as such, if you think of these nations like Europe. When you say comments like Ayers Rock or Uluru is a very important site for Indigenous people, this is only an accurate saying for the local mob. That site is like saying the Coliseum is important to the French just because they are European. Again, I really loved this video and found it very respectful just wanted to add to the learning journey we are all on. Well done guys

    Alee -- the most truest ambassador for bike touring. What a fantastic and epic video. I'm not even halfway through and just can't believe how incredible this is. I've been riding for over 20 years, toured thousands of miles and have built over 50 of my own bikes. I consider myself an expert in all things bike related-- but you are my expert and one of the very,very few that I really take seriously when it comes to touring and all info related to it. What a gift for all of us to have you share your knowledge and expierence. Thank you!

    Alee, your filming, editing and story telling skills are stellar. This was far more enjoyable than most documentary films I have watched.
    I was spellbound through the whole presentation. The worlds largest rock in the evening sun was spectacular. There is good chemistry between you and your lady friend. You both are truly blessed. Thanks for sharing this epic adventure.

    Apologies in advance,, you both inspire self to bike back. I was in tears 😢 😭 🤧 forward of being hit by a motor vehicle whilst cycling 🚲 I'm forever different. Afterwards, my bikes got so dusty, dry rot tires, spider webs and more just in the Garage over two (2) years 2020. It's a lot mentally plus physically to BOUNCE FORWARD. Between receiving Acupcture Treatments plus Massage Therapy. Awaiting Aqua Therapy. EXIGENT I BOUNCE FORWARD. Thanks A Lot for sharing this. I personally appreciate this. CYCLIST FOR LIFE 💚💚💚

    I watch a lot of cycling videos and yours are among my favorites. Your quiet personality reflects in the tone of your movies, there's a feeling of going slow but at the same time we get a lot of information in a short time. I think you alwayd carefully select what you deem worthy of saying or showing. And now your companion adds that bit of uplifting energy that maybe was lacking.
    You definitely opened my eyes on the beauty and diversity of an Australian traverse by bike, which I imagined as mostly boring with its long streches of straight, flat roads. Top notch video

      I was so inspired by the video that I went and got my specialized crossroads 2.0 out of storage last night so I can ride it in a little bit :) Been a while and just moved, so my body sore, so I have to take it easy, which is hard since I live on a steep mountain so any riding nearby means big hills

    Wow, what an amazing journey!!! From my old home town Townsville to! In October this year I drove from my home in the Blue Mountains to Brisbane, up to Winton and did the same jpurney to Alice via the Plenty Highway, then after the Red Centre came back by the Madigan Line /Hay River/QAA Line across Simpson Desert. But you did this journey to Alice on Mountain bikes!!! Wow. I mean WOW!! What an adventure! Cycling is great! 🙂 I look forward to your next adventure!

    Wow! What a marvellous trip! You made it a pleasure to spend 45 minutes peddling on my rollers while imagining riding the Outback. A wonderful video with great camera work and commentary. I liked the tech side of the trip at the end as well. How the bikes stood up to the roads, those tires are exceptional and good to see how much water one carries and how much and what kinds of foods you need for keeping it all together.
