Picked this up on the weekend while passing through Gympie.

This Motorcycle atlas has 100 top rides of Australia. I've been browsing through it over the past couple of days and it looks rather good.

This is the Third Edition and the Author Peter Thoeming covers not only the top rides of Australia, but also some guidelines on what to pack and how to pack it. It's also full of imagery of the ride areas.

Most of the "Top" rides in Queensland are right around where I live, so I have no excuse not to try them out.

Many of the top rides in Queensland, New South Wales, and Tasmania I have already covered by car and so I know they're good.

I just have to do them on the bike.

So here's waiting for Summer to end and Autumn to start so the temperature drops a little. I don't find it too much fun riding in the 30+ heat. Don't get me wrong, it's all fun, it just could be funner... ahem, more fun.
