Long Timer
This is my son Andrew. He is 7 years old and wants me to take him to Ayres Rock. (Uluru).
As you can see we are well on the way.
It's 1997 and I'm not long back from my last trip around Australia. Young Andrew reckons he can do whatever his older brother can do and besides...it's his turn. Ahhh, sibling rivaly.
At the time there was no law stopping a 7 year old from being a pillion passenger so long as they can reach the foot pegs. Andrew can...just!
Last time I caught the bus to Uluru from Pt Augusta after my old BMW R100RS got too hot. When I was standing on top of the rock, I naively put 2 stones in my pocket. Friends tell me I'm now cursed and they must be returned to the sacred place from whence they came.
So, off we go. The stones are in my pocket and I hope you enjoy sharing our story.
