Here's a little photo sample while I take a break in canberra on my Smik Lap of Oz.

This trip has offered more than I could have have possibly imagined. Meeting up with old mates and meeting new ones. It's what the road trip is all about. Some great waves along the way make you stop, and onshores or a good forecast down the road means it's time to keep driving. (Unless you've got the time to sit it out.)
Only half way I suppose and what a journey already
So far have travelled from Margs to south coast WA to SA and then vicco and will now be making my way up the east coast.
Here's a little photo selection in no particular order

So if anyones keen to Meet up for a surf and try the boards let me know. smckercher181@gmail.com Gerroa tomorrow and making my way up




Roy and Benj were reluctant to let this one go:) on my fav veranda in oz

south east WA. Yes please

Swimming pool water

JB checkin out the 8'8x31.5

Love beer and tunes with the roy-stan band

What we "Hope" for on the south coast

Been doin a few K's



after driving all night and most of the day rocked up this empty line up at 3 in the arvo. Thought tiredness made me delusional. good way to break up a drive


South Oz knows their booze. Obviously Coopers but their wines are to die for. Thins one in particular.

Amazingly snuck a few of these in desert SA without getting tyres slashed.


Demo in Vicco



Joy Morning in Vicco

Bull****. I've had heaps better.

South Oz Beachies of Robe

Had to stop off for a lunchtime brew in Gundagai with the fella's

Didn't get yelled at by the longboarders getting a few of these pearlers in Vicco

Part of the spiritual journey with a stop over in Aussie Mecca. "Bonnie doon"


Out back with Jack in the south east of vicco



And now looking for new adventures up the east coast. "Further"

Perfect

Do you even do them in XL?

When are you back through, maybe we can introduce you to the Mclaren Vale and the Barossa too?

So it was time to head back. It was my gut feeling and what was down the road is why I discovered. Apart from the tail winds all the way back across the country. (It makes a big difference.
Such an awesome trip. So many wavesand good catch up with folks, but not enough time to do it properly.



Someone heard there was a sup'r around

fun little north NSW beachies

iconic but not working. Don't think a supable option anyway me thinks
Big sis showing me the brisbane river. ****t'n about bullsharks

delights of the highway

Voldemorts working again on the way home. UNBELIEVABLE that I got it solo

This guy was my roo buffer through the night on the nulla.

southerrn beauty


had to stop

Has to be one of oz's best back yard courses. South coast break from the nullabor


14 000km's after departing I arrived home to this. A little bit like the alchemist story there.
A refresher course in what an amazing country oz is.
