You may also want to bring a roll of dunny paper for the potential unexpected pit-stop along the ride.Īlthough every PBAA tour carries a comprehensive first aid kit, it is advisable to bring a supply of first aid items for your own personal use. Solar charger / 12v adapter / large battery pack for charging your phone. Toiletries: toothbrush, toothpaste, razor and shaving cream, deodorantĬash or credit card to buy souvenirs etc. We will supply a 2 person tent for you to build your bed inside.ĭid we mention a hydration pack / 5 litre water bottle ? If you haven’t got a swag, you will need to bring a small camping/ inflatable mattress (be careful of cheap plastic ones) a sleeping bag and pillow. Most other tour operators cringe at the thought of the logistics of lugging around a heap of swags, but we have plenty of room on the back of our truck to carry them. The days can be pretty taxing, and the nights even more so !įor your comfort, we recommend you bring your swag. There is nothing more important than a good night’s sleep whilst on tour. Remember you are in riding gear most days, so few other clothes are really needed. Spare socks and jocks / knickers and bra’s Thongs and a pair of shoes/boots (for hiking in gorges) Long pants/jeans/trackies for the cooler evening

PBAA recommends a full face motorcycle helmet to Australian Standard AS1698, long sleeves, long pants and sturdy boots as minimum. Touring/Enduro style riding pants or Kevlar jeans Motorcycle helmet (mandatory complying to Australian Standard AS1698) Participants are to provide their own personal protective equipment, so if you haven’t already got it we suggest to get the following: Your main luggage will be stowed out of reach on the back of an open tray truck while we ride, so be careful when packing electronic devices and ensure that you have a sturdy protective case for them. You may want to include a small backpack to have quick access items like hat, sunscreen and camera etc. The bikes will have a crate on the back for storing gear (roughly about the same size as a milk crate). You should bring a hydration pack ( a large Camel-bak or large 5 litre insulated water bottle). No-one really cares if you wear the same shirt for a couple hours during the evening a couple days in a row.
