Editors’ Report
ou are reading perhaps the first ever “from the road” BMWMCQ Journal. Well, mainly constructed from the safe zone of the editor’s desktop but with modern life being so mobile it is possible to do anything from anywhere. Unless you have that nagging feeling you didn’t close the front door in your Home Alone level panic as you raced to get out to the Cane Toad with your NASA-designed thong. Nothing you can do except hope the squatters (a.k.a your children) haven’t moved in and are binge-watching every Netflix series while using your priceless Ming vase as a bin for Maccas bags. Why are we on the road? To complete the Ride to the Rock we started in 2019 of course unfinished business of the first water. We’ll probably need water come to think of it. Where are we going? Well besides the Rock many of the iconic places of far north west Queensland and the Northern Territory, we’ll even attempt a detour via Finke to see the iconic halfway mark of the famous race. Back via the Plenty Highway and Birdsville, so we’ve recently undertaken some sand and off-road training to satisfy Justin Case:
