I bought the GT550 in Adelaide and worked as a motorcyle courier for a few months. Having survived that I thought I would ride around Oz. I bought a swag and set off for Mt.Gambier.

I sprayed it pink and hand painted butterflies and dolphins.

The old jail there has been converted into a backpackers where you can sleep in the old cells - complete with loo in the corner. The guy showed me a cell, $22 and it smelt of pee. So I payed him $10 and put my swag down in the courtyard. I was alot warmer than the guys that slept in the cells too!

Not far down the road I passed the "Goodbye from South Australia" and the "Welcome to Victoria" signs. I was sad to leave S.A. but I felt like my journey was beginning - which it was, so it would, I suppose.
