"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning

all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas

and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts

of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues

from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance

which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can,

begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now."  (Often attributed to Goethe)

 

  This page is under construction.  I'm still working on a text for each segment of the

trip and scanning in some negatives and maybe a few more slides hidden here and there.

These are THE BIG SHOW of my slides from my trip around the world with Jeff Mellor, 1990-1992.

There are many more slides in this set than on the main world tour page:  About 2600 total.  I spent

some time in late 2009 going through all my slides from the world trip and I selected many for scanning.

The results are on this page (slide shows).  Many of these have been seen only by me and many of those

I hadn't seen since 1993.  The trip itself is outlined below.

 

These are scans of my Kodachrome 64 (and a very small number of Ektachrome 100) slides

From Jim and Jeff Mellor's bicycle tour around the world from Nov-1990 through Oct-1992

I used a very nice, yet inexpensive scanner, the  Epson V500  I like it very much.

Australia, 6-Feb-1991 to 3-May-1991, 1756 miles

 

These shots are from our three-month tour through Australia.  We landed in Sydney from Christchurch

New Zealand.  We stayed one night at Glebe Point in Sydney and then rode our bikes out of Sydney

on the Parramatta Road.  We then rode to Melbourne, via the national capitol Canberra, the Snowy

Mountains (including an ascent of Mt. Kosciusko, highest point in Australia), the and Cann River valley.

 

We spent several weeks in Melbourne as the guests of some very gracious people we met on the road:

Hugh and Dorothy McColl and their friends Ralph and Vicki Collins.  This time was spent seeing the

Melbourne area, buying gear, getting inoculations and visas.  We then took the ferry to Tasmania and

rode a big loop around the island.  Then back to Melbourne and a marathon bus trip to Darwin in the far

north, via Coober Pedy, Uluru (Ayers Rock), Katherine River, and Kakadu National Park.  We then

flew from Darwin to Singapore.

Outline of our trip:

 

From Nov. 15, 1990 to Oct. 6, 1992, with a five-month break for the winter of '91-'92, Jeff Mellor
and I traveled around the world through 26 countries, mostly by bicycle.  While in the "developed"
world, we bicycled 1000 miles per month, camping each night.  In Asia and Africa, we traveled by
train and bus and used guest-houses.  We encountered 16 different foreign languages, of which we
needed to learn at least the rudiments.  We rode a total of almost 11,000 miles on our bikes, camped out
at least 350 times, and climbed several mountains including Pt. Lenana (16,350 ft.) on Mt. Kenya in
Africa.  We took a three-week, 220-mile hike around the Annapurna Range in Nepal, which included
a 17,700 ft. high pass.  I took 13,000 photographs and wrote 1000 pages of journals.  No experience
in my life, except my university education, can compare with these travels for the depth and breadth
of learning or for the perspective gained.  It was one of the peak life experiences, up there with
marriage, children, university education.
 

Our trip was through these countries:
