Mick O’Brien and Col Meacham departed Inverell for the 2016 Off Centre Rally in Mungerannie, SA, via locations such as, Bourke, the Darling River Run, Broken Hill, Flinders Ranges, Oodnadatta, Track, Simpson Desert, Birdsville Track, Strzelecki Track and Cameron Corner.
The motorcycle enthusiasts climbed aboard their older model Suzuki 185cc ag bikes to travel some of the most iconic outback roads in Australia purely to promote the September 2016 Scrapheap Adventure Ride, a now-annual event to raise funds for Down Syndrome NSW, and raise awareness of Down Syndrome.
Due to the age of the bikes, the distances involved, the distances between fuel stops and the road conditions, a backup vehicle with drivers Fred Irwin and Neil Davis will shadow the riders.
You can follow the promo ride on Facebook: Team Inverell Scrapheap Adventure Ride or Scrapheap Adventure Ride.
