## Resource

Nearly 50 years after a magazine story planted the dream of crossing Australia by motorcycle, Allan Waldon finally set out to make it happen. Riding unsupported with his mate Adam on two small motorcycles, he faced more than 6,000 kilometres of remote desert, flooded roads, deep gravel, fierce winds and slippery red clay. This is the story of two riders crossing a continent—and one man proving it’s never too late to pursue a lifelong dream. 🔗 Show Notes & Links: Find photos, links, and resources related to this episode on our website at Adventure Rider Radio . 🎧 Subscribe & Never Miss an Episode: We release new episodes of ARR every week on Thursday and of RAW on the 21st of every month—full of inspiring stories, expert advice, and insight from the world of adventure motorcycling.
