Last stretch through Queensland as I head home on my Solo motorcycle camping adventure S2 Episode 23

3 long days on the bike as I make my way from the Northern Territory through outback Queensland to the coast, checking out a few interesting spots along the way as i finish my solo motorbike camping adventure.

I think what i find most appealing about your stuff, is how you engage with your listeners. Factor in also, your warm smile, and layback approach, then we're on a winner.

[@freewayproject]

thanks for the continued support Kevin. It's been a lot of fun, I can't wait to get back out there.

[@seanfrank4158]

I know I'm late to the party here Joe but I'd like to thank you. Some of us have to live vicariously through folks such as yourself and these videos are a wonderful way for us to connect to people and places we're likely never to see. So....thank you for filming your adventure and presenting it to us. Your filming and editing skills are top notch and it makes for a fun ride. I'm really looking forward to what you get up to next.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks Sean, it's great to know you have enjoyed the series.

[@benoitchouinard624]

Hello Joe! Thank you very much for showing us your wonderful country. You have a natural gift for describing your impressions of the moment of your motorcycle trip, it's as if we were there with you. For a French Canadian from Montreal, Quebec, your accent adds a bit of exoticism to your images. Australia for me has always been a distant and mysterious land. Thanks to your videos, I travel as if I were there... Incredible Tasmania, the Nullarbor desert, Australian West Coast! Wow! Thanks again, I look forward to seeing your next videos.

[@freewayproject]

Thank you for the support Benoit, I am happy you have been enjoying the series. Yes Australia is an incredible place to explore and so diverse in landscape. Hopefully I'll be able to work on the next series soon.

[@MattSR500]

I just watched all 23 episodes over this weekend. This was such a pleasure, such a wonderful vicarious experience, and made all the better by your personality. Thank you so much! I'm just getting back into riding after a five year break (I used to do 40,000km a year of it, but then a couple of crashes in succession with kangaroos on highways spoiled the passion for a time). Two weeks ago I bought a bike again. Watching this has been perfect timing.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks Matthew, it's great to hear you enjoyed the series. I hope your new bike ignites the passion to explore again.

[@jeffarnie]

I've thoroughly enjoyed both series. The places you've shown us are amazing and I'm glad it wasn't me sitting on the Himmy for those long days in the saddle. How amazing is that bike. Hard to fathom how reliable it's been considering the tracks you've taken it on and of course, you yourself just keep on going no matter what. A huge thank you for all of it.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Jeff, stoked you have enjoyed both series. Yes there were 4 days of nearly 1000km a day. Yes the Himalayan has done everything I have asked of it and more, it just keep going no issues no complaints, it has been awesome.

[@radadventure2606]

Whispers of yesterday fade with the sun, Journey’s end but tales have just begun, Steps retraced in the mind’s silent play, Marking an end, in a beautiful way. Footprints on sand, washed by tide’s gentle sweep, Moments captured, in heart’s memory keep, Sunsets promise, a new dawn on display, Closing a chapter, in its own special way. Endings are merely a pause, not goodbye, Destinies intertwined, under the sky, Journeys end, but memories forever stay, Marking their place, come what may. I am a little sad that your journey is finished, but it is better that good things have an end, so that they can be appreciated all the more. Great filming, editing, commenting and music selection. All the very best and I look forward to your next trip!

I just watched the whole big lap over the last 2 days, that's a real adventure mate, your relaxed attitude made the prospect of doing it myself less intimidating, thanks.

[@freewayproject]

it's great to hear you enjoyed the series. Yes doing a big lap is a lot of fun. If you have done an overnighter camping trip on the bike, then a few day trip, then a week trip, you'd be good to go as it is just stringing together one day after another.

🎉🎉😮oh man . Joe , what can I say … congratulations on your big “Warm Up Trip “ I know the feeling, sitting in the saddle on long days and dreaming up other ideas … it’s so meditative and inspiring and leaves you hungry for more. You’ve been a true inspiration for me mate these last few months as I’ve been going through chemo /and now immunotherapy every 2 weeks and doing rides in between sessions. Things are looking up for me and soon I’ll be off on much longer journeys! Anyway once again thanks mate . If your ever back in Margaret river hit me up 🤙

I could write paragraphs after each of your episodes! I always end your videos smiling. I love mornings, and you’re the only creator I’ve seen who braves the dark early. You have the unnatural ability to make any straight road interesting. Epic 20-year tree shot! Walkabout Creek! Like your mate, I had kids. Thanks for sharing your adventures so far! Cheers!

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support mate, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. I do love riding early before dawn, I do take it a lot slower because of the chance of animals (I have not come across any in the morning as yet) but also riding slower you take more in. Yes finally got a decent shot of a tree in that white grass, probably would have been better with not wind, I may have to go back and try again haha. Hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring.

[@brownneedles6968]

How do I support you? You’ve mentioned super-thanks /super-likes, but I don’t see how to access anything like that through YT.

[@freewayproject]

@@brownneedles6968 Thank you for the offer of support mate.I do want to do something that would offer something of value, I am looking into selling prints of the photos from the trips but the price to print manage and ship something of quality is quite expensive ( I am working on this), people have also asked about a coffee table photo book which again is very expensing so would need to sell a lot of them to have any change of making money back. I was think of setting up a patron page, which would have a lot of extra behind the sense videos of the filming, taking photos and the other behind the sense (Patron is a membership where you get access to extra stuff and can have tiers, so depending it might be $5 or $10 a month). The super Thanks (I think you have to be sign into your youtube account first) on a desktop or laptop is a button just below below the video in the same area as the title of the video next to share.

[@Ben-Elves-Author]

Loving your videos. Myself and the missis took our Himalayans down through Europe from England to the German Alps last year- following the WW1 front line down through France on the back roads, through a couple of national parks. Sadly the weather was utterly awful- raining so much even Germans were giving up camping- so we headed back up to the Netherlands. The Himalayans took it all. Fantastic machines.

[@freewayproject]

that sounds like it would have been a really interesting journey is there a route you can follow and places that have information on what happened when? Yes the Himalayan just gets the job done, no fuss, great for exploring like that.

[@Ben-Elves-Author]

@@freewayproject it certainly was interesting- there are some enormous old bunkers by the side of the roads. Quite sobering too when vìsiting the cemeteries such as Messines Ridge- hundreds upon hundreds of gravestones. The route we followed was purely by looking at a map and heading towards places I had heard of on the B roads- there was no specific route. We found some beautiful little roads, purely by accident. On the way back we stopped at Bastogne and Overloon- two famous battlefields from WW2. It is a trip I can recommend.

[@skylerhempsall2934]

Hey Joe, it's been a privilege to be along for the ride with you, and to see your beautiful country. Super pleased you are home safe. Your videos have inspired me to get out more on adventures myself. Can't wait to see what the future holds for you, and many more road trips I hope. Skyler ❤

I've really enjoyed this trip. For me, the whole draw of KZbin channels like yours is that I am able to travel to countries I will probably never visit, and see the remarkable sites and places that you see, and you have shown us some absolutely stunning places. Thank you. Oh and in the UK there are still many red telephone boxes, but they have many alternative uses; micro libraries or art galleries, sites for emergency defibrillators, community information centres... all sorts, except in parts of North Wales where mobile phone signals cannot reach, there, they still contain pay phones. Also, interesting to see Ilfracombe in the middle of Queensland. The town of the same name here is in North Devon and is a famous seaside holiday destination. A more stark difference between two towns with the same name it is hard to conceive of. Looking forward to your next videos.... whatever the subject.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Neil, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. I do know of just the one red phone box in Australia still working on the main street of Bangalow NSW I think they keep it there in front of the old post office for the look. that one out in the middle of the QLD out back was all fiction. I think I might have to come see some of these phone boxes you speak of especially if there is no mobile reception, it sounds isolated and that sound interesting. There are a lot of towns that there names come from areas in the UK, but yes as you say the 2 Ilfracombe are worlds apart. hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring.

Some great memories triggered in this video - thanks. Drove a Combi from Darwin to Cairrns 50 years ago (must have been breathing some "fumes" from somewhere / "something" - 4 of us plus a Labrador couldn't work out how to read a dip stick at the Barkley Homestead. The attendant was in hysterics and assured us everything was fine with the oil 🤣). Man, you must have a "cast iron Butt" - an hour on my Himalayan and I've had it - getting old sucks 😄. Looking forward to the next adventure, thanks for sharing, especially with those of us too old to admit how old we really are and can really only dream of trips like this now. Cheers Joe, safe travels.

Thanks for the continued support mate, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. Well we stopped at the QLD border after stopping at Barkley Homestead to get a photos, but the Kombi wouldn't start (the starter motor was getting sticky, we worked out the next day if we hit it with a spanner it would work again) so we pushed the kombi across the boarder but there use to be a cattle grid so they kombi kept going with no one it it haha (we eventually caught it) man was that a shitty road when you hit QLD back then.

You have shown two things that can be of reference for many out there that are looking in starting an aventure riding a motorbike, one, there is not necessarily to have a very expensive bike and gear to do it and second showing that the selecting a bike that is light enough for the rider be independent and not relaying on others when a problem can occur. I have seen so many motorbike globetrotters that are not capable of lifting upright the bike when they have dropped it because the weight and that IMHO is irresponsible. I am looking forward to see your next videos, take care and keep the dreams alive.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Arthur, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. On your first point, not only is my bike on the less expensive side, I actually got mine second hand. Also I am not really fond of canned tuna (it's an on going joke through the series) but again if I keep the cost down I can go for longer, go further. If I has saved up for one of the bigger bike, I will still be saving and have not even left yet. On the second point, that is one of the criteria I had when looking for a bike, I had to be able to pick it up as I was traveling on my on and I was going to be going places with no one around. Also I needed something like a tractor that would just keep going. hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there .exploring.

[@nextmotoventure]

Joe, you’re a legend. Love your tight, personalised pieces to camera. Yep, looking forward to knowing your thoughts on tyres, equip etc. Thanks for sharing.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series, hopefully I'll have those videos out in the next few weeks

[@TheMitchellmitchell]

What a trip Joe and I was with you all the way, a great insight into Australia. Will be here for the next one if I'm not riding myself 👍👍👍👍👍

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support mate, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. Well I hope you miss a lot of the next series due to you being out there exploring on your own bike. Hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring.

[@martythompson6509]

Thanks so much Joe. I've enjoyed every second of video, every word accompanying and most of all the stills. That lone tree came out fantastic too. You are always welcome at Casa De Marty in the foothills of the snowies if you decide to do a shorter adventure before heading over to the land of the long white cloud and sheep shaggers.👍

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, well nice to see someone picked it, but I'll leave my velcro gloves behind.

[@martythompson6509]

@@freewayproject take the gloves mate, they have some really good looking ones....👍

Thanks so much for sharing your adventure! I've looked forward to these every Friday - I can't wait for what you'll share with us next! It's been my favorite motorcycle footage on KZbin. I too am not one to name my motorcycles, but I'm inspired by what you said about the Himalayan looking like it just came out of an Indiana Jones movie!! That's exactly the vibe I feel about mine (in fact, I am glad I have my 2023, rather than the new one!). I may co-op that name for mine!! Safe travels Joe and I am excited for what your next project will be!

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Sarah, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. Yes they do have that certain look, Indi is great, I guess Mr Jones would work to 😂. I think the new model is for a slightly different purpose, but as long as your out there riding and exploring it doesn't really matter what you one. hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring.

[@scintilladesign4187]

Epic trip Joe, I have loved every episode and look forward to your next adventure! 😊

[@freewayproject]

thanks for the continued support mate, stoked you have enjoyed the series. I am already itching to get back out there.

[@FatBoy_Jim]

Hey Joe, have enjoyed every single episode mate. Have loved the video and the photos and drawn inspiration from them all. The last one was great as I’ve ridden through a lot of that area in the last year or two and recognised that country. Eagerly awaiting the follow up episodes so I can learn more about creating. Thanks again!

[@freewayproject]

Thank you for the support Jim, it is greatly appreciated and will go towards the next journey. Yes that a unique area, very open and vast. I hopefully will have those next 3 videos out in the next three weeks all going to plan.

[@AliM-jp8bg]

Great season Joe. I travelled a lot of the same places in 22. Australia is such a vast and beautiful place.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks mate, it definitely is, so much more still to explore.

[@lukehenning8391]

Awesome Journey Joe, looking forward to the next. Glad I come across your channel. I lived in Katherine for two years in 89/90 , brought back a lot of fond memories. Cheers🍻

Thanks for the continued support Dazza, stoked you have enjoyed the series. Yes I should have them out in the next couple of weeks.

[@simonmills2375]

Mate, fantastic finale to this series. I've named my bike Harry..after a certain Brit comedian, planning a trip down to Sth Island somewhere soon. Nelson lakes seems interesting. Looking forward to your next episodes. Cheers Mate.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Simon. South Island you say, well if you see a guy on a Himalayan that looks lost, come say hi.

Appreciate the replies Joe you sure did cover some ground in good time Magic job especially editing on the run See you on your next video Thanks Dave

[@freewayproject]

Yes, I actually went to google maps and check the actual distances from Darwin. day 1. 1001km day 2. 864km day 3. 835km day 4.1011km No wonder I was struggling at the end, I gather the bike wasn't build specifically for big HWY milage but it got the job done.

[@marksteele4364]

Well Joe you have me itching to do the trip again to see what I missed first time around with your beautiful footage, editing and photos. An absolute credit to you and your filming talent. Being in my 7th decade I'll make a go of it next year. The the bike did extremely well under the circumstances. Those last three days were definitley flamin long ones 1,000 K's on the first day backed up by two more, what stamina . Thank you Joe for sharing and bringing us along on your ride around the block, loved it and look forward to you next one cheers.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Mark, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. Yes I think it was 4 day around 1000km a day or just under, I was feeling it towards the end. Yes the bike seem to handle everything I though at it so stoked with it, not issues at all. Hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring. Definitely worth going for a lap, you'll have a ball.

[@robertmauter6493]

Joe, how can we all give an overwhelming thank you, you know incredible journeys that are shared makes us all really seem as we were apart of this with you, liking every video from day one helps you but it’s about helping like minded people like us, and I know others will follow suit in saying to you, a huge thank you for taking us along, I will go back and continue to watch over again, I still say your country would be on my bucket list if I could, not sure what’s next but rest assured I’m sure we’re all on board with what ever you put out there. On another note, what you were dealing with we here in the states deal with on a regular basis, the unpredictable weather, don’t you just love going through all the hassles of putting on rain gear only to not need it at all. Thanks again Joe for sharing. Rob from states 🏍️

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Rob, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. yes the joys of weather that keeps changing it mind 😂 hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring.

Fantastic.....Joe...Thanks for taking me along...now I need to go back to your first adventure...time travel, I will. Looking forward to more from you....Maybe on the Himalayan 450???? Remember...keep your feet on the pegs and your right hand cranked!

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Garth, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. The Himalayan 450 looks awesome, but I bought my Himalayan second hand as I don't have the fund to get a new one, so I'll be staying on this one for a while, but it been getting the job done so all is good. Hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring.

[@pteronadon]

It was a real treat riding along with you throughout pretty much all of Australia. It may be a warm up for what is coming next, but what a warm up, man! For most people it would be the adventure of their lives. It would surely be the case with me. Me and many more people will be looking forward for the follow up. Ride on, mate! PS: And you did travel in a fried out Kombi!

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for the continued support Luis, I'm stoked you enjoyed the series. It was definitely a trip I'll never forget. hopefully it won't be too long before I am back out there exploring. Haha Yes I did travel in a fired Kombi, actually I still travel in one still today.

[@anthonya7066]

Another wonderful series Mr Ryan, it was absolutely fantastic to see the country and landscape in the manner in which you present it. I normally prefer off-road and technical trail videos, so the fact that I have watched Series 1 and 2 in relatively quick succession means that your production has a little bit of magic dust sprinkled in it. Looking forward to starting on Series 3 now. Oh and by the way, you asked me to let you know if i thought you became more comfortable in front of the camera by end of season 2 - well yes from Bungle Bungle onwards, at least for me, it felt more natural.

[@freewayproject]

Thanks for watching and the continued support. I am stoke you are enjoying them even though they are a little different to what you are normally watching. Thanks for the feedback, hopefully I'll continue to improve so it is a better experience for people who watch.
