Cheers from Buffalo, NY USA. Just came across your channel while planning my own bike trip through Australia next year. I really like the availabilty of the huts. Very nice video.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks, The huts are mostly in NSW Kosciuszko National Park. Cheers Chris.

[@KevinByrne-l4t]

Absolutley stunning Chris again, well done, Kevin.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks Kevin. Your words are so nice. 😃

[@farqitol]

Jealous as always. Great stuff Chris.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks 😊. Glad to be out for this one. I had to change the trip due to park closure. They closed the summit the day I was going to go there. Also the Cascades trail was closed as they were shooting the brumbies.

I met said 81 year old in pt Douglas last year when I was on tour, remarkable woman, rode 30,000 kms around Australia last year...

[@ChrisRishworth]

That is great hear. Amazing that age does not stop some people. I'm jealous.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Your very welcome 🙏

The sun rise was more than magnificent, you captured it so well. This trip is inspiring for one to get 'out there'. One of your earlier videos you detailed what solar devises you used, would love to see what you currently use and your navigation set up. Keep the videos coming they are terrific.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks. Yes, the sunrise was so nice. On these trips, I've just been carrying a 20,000 mah battery. It lasts just 5 days. Need a new solar setup system. Any longer and I would have no power left. My Navigation is just the App memory map which uses Hema maps. It's OK. Some times the tracks have been wrong.

Beautiful ride and scenery! also the night time animals eating are so dang cute😊 thanks for the ride.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thank you. The possums are cute but always searching for food. They would rip through my tent to get to the food if I let them. They were not scared at all.

[@frank-uj8ve]

enjoy your videos mate some really great scenery along the way magnificent sunrise wildlife cheers mate 👍

[@ChrisRishworth]

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks Chris.

[@benazeddine5255]

From Denmark: Thx for sharing. Absolutely wonderful trail and beautiful scenic nature and wild life. Australia has so much to offer, beside good rugby with the "Wallabies"... What is the make of the bike you are riding?

[@ChrisRishworth]

 EL GORDO Ventana made in the USA. Thank you. Greetings from Australia.

[@ecoruben]

Another great video / journey Chris. Love that area, spent many a winter camping at Island Bend. What a sunrise!!!!!!!!!! Keep them coming. :)

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thank you. Yes, I've camped at Island Bend many times. A big sigh says you must pre book a camp site nowadays.

[@ecoruben]

@@ChrisRishworth Most people ignore that sign, always plenty of room. :) Have you ever ridden into Jindy along pump station road from Island bend, rather than climbing out of the guthega valley? I'm going to try this route next time Im up there.

[@ChrisRishworth]

@@ecoruben No I haven't tried that way yet. Sounds worth a look next time.

[@Outside1s3Ree]

Nice vid :))

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thank you 😊

[@underdgk9]

Beautiful place, Chris. Hey, all these years, I thought you were a vegan (except for that Aboriginal kangaroo that once).

[@ChrisRishworth]

Thanks. Would like be a vegan but always seems to compicated. I eat fish and sea food. Sometimes meat but not often.

[@Bikepacking]

Did you have mic problems half way through the trip

[@ChrisRishworth]

Yes the Gopro 11 black with external Mic stopped recording sound. When I changed the battery for the last half of the hardest day. The second time it's done this.

[@Bikepacking]

[@grantward3872]

Hey mate do you have a link for the route you took? Cheers from Brisbane.

[@ChrisRishworth]

Not really sorry.

[@mikes2857]

Hi Can ask where you got your current bike built please

[@ChrisRishworth]

Hi from www.washingtoncyclismebicyclestore.com/#/ I had to order the frame from Cycle monkey USA. Wouldn't really recommend them. Cycle Mokey would be much better.

[@mikes2857]

Thanks for information will check them out

[@just4all1]

what camera you use?

[@ChrisRishworth]

I'm using the new Samsung S24Ultra for the ride by. Using a light tripod. The Gopro 11 black with external microphone with chest mount. The Sony A1 with external microphone for wildlife and scenery. A lot of camera gear and weight.A lighter option would be better.
