    Home Safe & Sound.
    With 1 hour and 42 minutes to spare.
    That's Newcastle to Perth via Broken Hill, then Perth to Newcastle via Hay Plains (and 38 deg.C), in under 100 hours.
    AKA 100CCC!
    The Tiger 1050 didn't miss a beat.

    I didn't know there was one at Madura Pass - I've seen no mention previously.  If so, precisely where?  I've travelled that road lots.

    Here's the Madura Pass Davo location the rock is in the red circle:



    Here's the view and some location pics:

    Here's a handful of pics from the ride:


    The start at Newcastle on the east coast about 330am.




    Cobar about 675km from home in the middle of New South Wales





    Sundown at the Horrocks Pass South Australia Davo Jones memorial (located about 10metres behind the bike on the fenceline)





    Kimba, South Australia




    Sunrise on the Nullarbor Plain day 2




    On the way home Day 3 approaching the Nullarbor from the west
