How on earth do you fit the bulky items in such a small bag (e.g. sleeping bag, pillow, etc)?

.

Sleeping bag goes in the truck as a separate item.

Thanks for the tip Alastair.

I'm aiming to fly back to Melbourne the same evening as the flight from Bamaga gets in, so won't have an option of leaving my stuff at a hotel - could be interesting...

If thats the case i'd recommend calling Caitlyn and mentioning that you will need to take your whole gear bag just to be safe. i took a super lightweight sleeping blanket from Anaconda, it rolled up into the size of a larger energy drink can and then i threw it out at Bamaga before the flight home.

I took a duffel bag/sports bag (carry on) then had my large moto gear bag with everything else
As al said we wore all my gear from the hotel to the factory. Only had shorts and singlet t shirt jocks and socks ect in the duffle bag, don’t bother taking shoes or long pants thongs is fine, small towel aswell nothing dries anyways.
If I was to do it again I wouldn’t take a sleeping bag as it’s so bloody hot and sweaty at night I’d just take two cheap sheets and throw them away in the bin at the last camp.

Chappa I’d just use there bikes for the small fee of $900 it’s worth every cent not having to worry about anything., The leader and sweep know them inside out and all the spares and everything they carry is for that bike

Flying back on the same day will be brutal haha, I personally wouldn’t do it but it’s possible a bloke did it on our tour
