Bikes used on Murray River Tour

Our touring bikes during the train trip from Adelaide to the southern suburb of Noarlunga in early October 2012.  We rode over Wilunga Hill to Normanville and on to Victor Harbor and Goolwa, then followed the Murray River to Renmark.  From there we caught a Greyhound bus to Mildura and, a few days later, to Robinvale.  We then rode via Manangatang to Swan Hill, after which we rented a SUV to get back to Canberra in early November.

Mine is a Surly 'Long Haul Trucker' and Toni's is a Thorn 'Sherpa'.  Both have custom component builds.
