I had a bit of chain trouble getting into canavron gorge, but a new chain sorted it oult protty well, the gorge was spectacular and worth the torchourious ride in.

coming out I discovered a fairly serious crack in the panel frame and had to borrow a local farmers welder to put it togeather. this and gained expierence of how the bike actually behaves in dirt when ladern made me reconsider my goal of the compass points, this bike is not going to make it to cape york and then arond australia, its just not, so the plan now is just to go arond australia, not the the extremes of its geagraphy.
