OK here it is...The aim of our adventure is to travel across Australia and around South America (then maybe back around Oz) for 6 to 8 months (or maybe 11) on two motorcycles. The plan is to jump on our two KLR650's here in Perth and head east over the hills. We will aim to reach Sydney within a couple of weeks before embarking for Santiago, Chile by plane. Once in South America, we will circumnavigate the lower half of the continent over the course of the months soaking in the as much of the cultures, sights, sounds and architecture that is on offer. We will travel in a anti-clockwise direction starting and finishing from Santiago....we will keep you all posted on the craziness, well most of it anyway!

Freight …

Organising transport for our bikes from Sydney to Santiago (Chile) was a major step in our trip. Air freight seemed like the best options as the sea freight would take up to 60 days to get to our destination in Santiago. The only draw back with the air freight being the cost at A$2115 per bike. However this meant that we could ride our bikes over from Perth as well as getting it straight up once we arrive at the other end…a small price to pay for the trip of a life time.

A company call Freightnet International who is based out of Sydney helped organise all the fine details and we would recommend using them if anyone else is considering a similar trip.
