Ride for Life! RIde for Youth! 42 days, 13,000+ kms round Oz

This blog is devoted to raising awareness of Youth Suicide so that it can be prevented.

The blog will track Joe's progress on his 42 day treck round Australia on a motorbike as he gathers support for this cause.

Australia has the highest incidence of Youth Suicide in the world. The major cause of suicide is a lack of connectedness to family, friends and community.

We want to get people excited about connecting with our young people so they don't feel isolated, depressed and hopeless. We want people to care enough about this problem to do somehthng about preventing it, not just picking up the peices afterwards.

Check out the website for details about the trip and for information about Youth Suicide: http://www.ozzieroadtrip.com/

If you're concerned about someone seek professional advice (see links at right).

We want you to get involved so check the blog daily for updates and send your own posts to the blog. Tell other people about this issue, get people excited about saving our Youth from depression and thinking that suicide is an option.

Day 11 Tuesday 24th June Madura - Norseman approx 520 kms

Day 11 24th June Madura-Norseman approx 520 km

Set out at approx 7:30am, want to get to Cocklebiddy for Breakfast, helps break up the trip. The additional thermals helped keep out the ever present cold.

Today I had the pleasure of traveling along the straightest stretch of road in Australia, its called the 90 Mile or 144.4km in a straight line, what more can I say, its straight.

One hour and fifteen minutes later I was at the other end. Lunch at Belladonia then on to Norseman.

Norseman is the first or the last major town depending on which way your going before or after the Nullabor.
