June 2007...
I decided to take some time out from city life to do something I have always wanted to do...Travel throughout the top end of Australia on my motorbike. A mate of mine had ridden his motorcycle overland from Germany to Australia so we decided to meet up in Darwin & ride together to Sydney. One of the goals of my trip was to go to the Garma festival, an annual event put on by the Yothu Yindi Foundation at a place called Gulkila in East Arnhem land. I knew that Uncle Jimmy was going to be there to present the Jimmy Little Foundation so a few phone calls were made & off we went, through Kakadu & the Arnhem Highway to work at the festival. Loaded up with extra fuel, water & food it was time to negotiate 670 kms of dirt roads, multiple river crossings, dodging water buffalo, brumbies, wallabies, feral donkeys & the odd crocodile or two. Three days later, covered in red dirt & completely exhausted we arrived in Nhulunbuy.
