Auckland To Perth – Part 49 (Lost The Road)

About this film
ADVcharlie’s series follows a solo motorcycle trip from Auckland to Perth, and this episode brings together two distinct parts of that journey: getting back to the road after losing the way out from camp, and spending time with an Australian friend. Greg is travelling down to Perth in a road train. The meeting becomes more than a brief roadside encounter: the rider stays with him for a few days, catching up and making time to sort out shipping for the motorcycle. The result is an episode shaped by both the practical demands of a long-distance ride and the personal connection that interrupts its onward progress.
The journey
The episode begins at a quiet camp spot. In the morning, the track used to reach it is lost, leaving the rider to make a way through the bush to find the highway again. Later, Greg joins the story as he drives his road train towards Perth. The rider then stays with him for several days, with the time together providing an opportunity to catch up and deal with the bike’s shipping. The Auckland-to-Perth trip remains the wider frame for these events, while the episode’s focus is on a navigation setback and a temporary pause in the journey.
