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 15 28th June Perth - Geraldton 400 km

Day 15 28th June Perth/Geraldton 400km

During the trip from Perth I experience intermittent showers, the cold weather that I had been experiencing was starting to be left behind.

The trip generally was relative flat with long periods of straight roads. There was a more rural feel about this section of the journey with some nice roling green hills and agriculture.

The entry into Geraldton was somewhat like a low valley, large sand dune to the left, farm land in the middle with low hills to the left.Geraldton township is small and very tidy. There is a lot of work being undertaken to the harbour foreshore and what looks like redevelopment of this area.
