Fixed Gear Australia Circumnavigation Record Attempt

Savannah Way west of Cairns was DEAD. Some caravans during the day but I got into the flow of stuffing my face at roadhouses / servos in the evening then heading out for a few more hours of riding between 9pm and midnight. Some nights I saw maybe 1 or 2 vehicles in that time... and on my last ride I saw precisely ZERO vehicles between 11pm and 7am on the Victoria Highway heading towards the NT/WA border.

During the day there are a lot of caravans and stuff like that, there’s a lot lot less road trains up here. I remember the Nullarbor having them very often, even through the night, although they are much longer up here.

Obviously, the east coast highways were super busy and a lot more just normal cars out there. Very rare to see a ‘car’ on these desert highways!
