Ural Across Australia
Filed Under (Ural News) by Anthony StClair on 29-07-2008
Back in 2004, a “Ural enthusiast” named Sergey Sinelnik rode a Ural around the world. Ultimately logging 75,000 km (46,603 miles) across 5 continents and through 35 countries, one leg of Sinelnik’s trip took him overland across the whole of Australia. Here are some more details, photos and stories about this amazing trip:
Here are just a few of the incredible photographs that were taken during their final leg of the trip around Australia. Starting from Sydney on April 25, 2004 and finishing on May 19, 2004, they traveled a total of 14,500 km or 10,000 mi. Of that distance, 3,500 km were across the Great Victorian Desert, Gibson Desert and the Great Sand Desert
Interesting you would pick up this story 4 years on, but yes the “Globe Team on the Urals”, Sergey & Alexander Sinelnik, Timur Ibulatin, Andrey Sarmin, and mechanic/technologist/engineer Vladimir Sagayov started and finished from my house in Sydney, all calculated to the last minute, they did 5000km in the last 5 days, I think is still some kind of record for the Urals. Madina at IMZ will confirm this. It was just a small par of their world tour. regards, Don
Aye, it was quite a trip. I think the Australia segment really got my attention because Jodie and I are about to head over to Australia…
