To everyone who's followed our road — this is the hardest update we've ever shared.

If you know Rustybones, you know Anthea. She's the other half of every mile, every breakdown, every sunrise we've chased on two wheels. What you might not know is that she's facing breast cancer for the second time — and we're doing whatever it takes to get her to the specialist treatment that gives her the best chance of beating it again.

This treatment isn't covered by our insurance, and the costs — treatment, travel, time off the road — are significant. We've set up a GoFundMe to help get her there, and every contribution, big or small, brings her a step closer.

Can't give? A share is just as powerful — especially from this community. It puts Anthea's story in front of someone new who might be able to help.

To our riders, our followers, our people — thank you. 🖤

Rustybones_rtw crew spent a awesome evening on Sydney Harbour enjoying the Vivid 2026 Festival.

Thanks Marc & Wendy for your generosity.

The Rustybones_rtw crew have been a little quiet 🤫 since our Vietnam moto‑madness…
Mainly because we’ve been secretly plotting our return trip to Oz 🇦🇺 (and eating our bodyweight in Aussie food).

Three weeks flew past faster than a Vietnamese scooter in peak hour, and now we’re packed and heading back to our Penang home base.

What a trip though.

I clocked up 55 years young 🎂, got cuddles with the newest family member little Ms Marlie, and caught up with our beautiful Ashleigh & Tash + Simon 😉.

We laughed our way around more kitchen tables and lounge rooms than I can count — nieces, cousins, the gorgeous Hayley & Matt and their lovely girls… you all filled our tanks.

There were beverages consumed 🍻🍾🍷🍸🥃 (purely medicinal of course) with Missy & Jason, Rhonda & Chantel, plus a cracking BBQ with the Brunker clan.

Massive thanks for the beds: Melissa/Jason, Wendy & Marc, and Rhonda — your hospitality kept these Rustybones from rusting completely.

And yes… we even played tourist on a Sydney Harbour cruise 🛳 thanks to Marc & Wendy’s generosity.

Stay tuned for Vivid Sydney pics 📸 — they’re coming in hot.

Feeling grateful, full, loved, and slightly overfed.

Until next time, Sydney ❤️

Righto, the Rustybones_rtw crew has unpacked all the motorcyclist equipment & Travel bags & switched back into Penang living.

The best way to do that is to head to Hin Bus Depot (art & cultural centre of Penang) on a Sunday for an absolutely cracking meal at our friends rooftop restaurant Rasa Fuego.

is one of the best Chefs 👨‍🍳 in Penang and served up a delicious 😋 feed.

is a great location to relax, eat, listen to some music and also enjoy specialist coffee vibes ☕️.

Thanks to everyone who followed our recent journey throughout Vietnam 🇻🇳.

We have a few things planned for 2026/2027 so stay tuned.

The adventure has come to a conclusion for the Rustybones_rtw crew.

We have crammed as much as possible into our last days in Da Nang, Vietnam 🇻🇳.

This included a visit to the World famous Golden Bridge (Hands), cold b**r 🍺 or three at East West Brewery, a visit to a famous French Patisserie and a final sunset view over Da Nang looking at the Dragon Bridge with our great friends & Nhu.

Now we are sitting at Da Nang International Airport 🛫 awaiting our flying chariot back our home in Penang.

We will need a holiday now just to recover from what has been an awesome adventure throughout Central Vietnam 🇻🇳.

Thanks to the beautiful, kind & friendly Vietnamese people for all the great memories.

So the Rustybones_rtw crew successfully survived the roads of Vietnam 🇻🇳 and finished back at Tigit Motorbikes in Da Nang.

Now it's time to catch up with and his beautiful partner Nhu - tick off some touristy stuff.

Yesterday & Nhu did the Coconut boats and then hit Hoi An streets, while took big Stormy to Riders Bar, Surf & Travel for a couple of b**rs 🍻 and the best toasties.

Back to Da Nang to watch the Dragon Bridge breath fire 🔥 from our hotel rooftop.

After two days of exploring and enjoying the culture wonderfulness of Hoi An the Rustybones_rtw crew are out of time.

Over the last two days we squeezed in a local food tour, lantern making & the river cruise at sunset 🌇.

Besides that we have just walked the streets and absorbed the beautiful people and their traditions, as well as meeting some awesome expats and fellow travellers.

The wanderlust continues today as we head back to Da Nang to conclude our motorcycling 🏍 trip.

21/01/2026

Hoi An is were the Rustybones_rtw crew have been now for a couple of days.

We have walked the old town, enjoyed the colours & contrasts. Along the way we have managed to meet many very cool fellow travellers and those who have chosen to call Vietnam 🇻🇳 their home for now, so many true adventurous people.

Last night was a sunset tour.

Tonight we are doing a food tour - pics 📸 to follow tomorrow.

Yesterday half of the Rustybones crew went to a cooking class and coconut boat tour 😅. You can keep the coconut boats, I prefer two wheels...but the cooking class was the best.

I finally got to learn how to make one of my favourite dishes, Bánh Xèo. Along with a few other favs.

I ended up with a huge pair of cooking chopsticks. Lucky you can fit them on a bike!
