</div>Well, it’s the final day! Today was an all sand day! The competitors set off on a 22KM loop around Pink Lake just west of Esperance. These dunes are notoriously soft and reports came quickly of officials and the course “Double 0” car getting stuck before the riders and drivers had even got there.<br />
<br />

After the 22 km the competitors would transport from the Pink Lake area over to the east side of town to the Bandy Creek side. There, a 5KM course had been logged on the road book and because of a local Aboriginal group claiming some BS that had gone to court the Safari had to run this twice rather than the original 40KM section laid out.<br />
Rather than go on and on I will simply throw some pictures up.<br />
Right now I don’t have access to the final results, or even the tentative ones, because our WiFi has been moved to a different location till later tonight. Besides that, it’s time for the presentation dinner and beers.<br />

</div>Well, not too much to report today. The Safari left Norseman this morning and had an 8 kilometer transport stage before getting right into the nitty gritty. This year the organizers really have thrown everything in there arsenal at the riders. The day started out fast and then got really tight in the Salmon Gums of the area before heading out around some fast dry lake beds and across some big fields, then back into the tight stuff.<br />
Two Stages were run with the first in the shire of Dundas and the second crossing into the Shire of Esperance. Esperance is one of Australia’s most beautiful towns and is well worth checking out here: <a href="http://www.visitesperance.com/">http://www.visitesperance.com/</a><br />

View from the look out.</div>The stages were short today and although I am the US Ambassador for this event I feel this needs to be addressed. Safari’s and rally’s should be just that. Long and challenging. This years event has definitely had the long and challenging but I agree with a lot of the riders in thinking that many of the legs (days) seem like too much of a sprint.<br />
<br />

</div>Well, enough of my whining, here are some results. <b>Ben Grabham </b>has extended his lead during the two stages run today and now sits on an overall time of 24.14.36 with a 18+ minute lead over <b>Todd Smith </b>24.33.28. <b>Matthew Fish </b>is creeping up and taking advantage of some of the riders that have DNF’d so far. He is 25.18.28 overall. <b>David Schwarz </b>and <b>David Beavis</b>. Unfortunately <b>Rod Faggotter </b>decided not to start this morning after suffering a broken hand yesterday. Faggotter finished yesterdays leg with the injury which was 166 Kilometers after it occurred. <b>Annie Seel </b>has been slowly creeping up the leader board and currently sits in 15<sup>th</sup>, down just under 5 minutes from Western Australia’s <b>Steve Cooney </b>who sits in 14th.<br />

For those that do not know yet but are interested, my foundation “The Maley Foundation” is doing a Breast Cancer Fund Raiser in February next year. We are doing a ride across America on Scooters.

Today will see the competitors leave Norseman and ride a loop covering approximately 410 + kilometers. Norseman is the major center for the Shire of Dundas which covers an area of 92,725 square kilometers. Surrounded by beautiful and unique to the area eucalypt woodlands it is ideal for 4 wheel drive enthusiasts to explore and offers tranquil walks for nature lovers amongst the area’s natural flora and fauna. Visit <a href="http://www.norseman.info/">http://www.norseman.info/</a> for more info on Norseman.<br />

</div>Today, I have been “Flat out like a lizard drinkin’”! Running around trying to secure people for Rallyradio and getting my ducks all in a row before the last 2 days of the event and then having to fly back to California at 5am on Monday. So far we have had some tough luck with camera’s and the media guys and I decided that Kalgoorlie’s Warren Strange is now banned from wearing a camera. So far this week he wore my EPIC Wide helmet camera for Prologue which was fine during the test and then inexplicably came back with 40 minutes of footage that was blank…… The next day he wore a separate HD helmet cam that didn’t make it to the finish line for the day. Same scenario followed on the next day. Yesterday he had on screwed to the front fender when the section was cancelled so we have some awesome footage of the asphalt road. Today Warren went down hard and unfortunately airlifted out. He is ok but we have not seen the condition of the camera yet.<br />

</div>As I have said, I am not a Rally guy, yet, but I am amazed by how quickly these guys get onto getting a rider out of the bush. The GPS locators they all have work fantastically and the helicopter pilot and crew are there in minutes. This really is one of the safest races I have been to.<br />

</div>This morning was SS11 which has been named the “Woodline” stage as it goes out through the old wooded area that was used to feed the mines around the area. Years ago workers would lay a railway line out to these parts of the shire and use the tree they cut down to support the tunnels in the gold mines and feed the boilers. The course will be littered with old stumps hidden by new growth. This was one of the reason the riders decided against running SS10 yesterday. Riding into the sunset with these hidden stumps could turn deadly very quickly.<br />

</div>I am listening to the radio and the officials are try to convince one of the Chinese teams not to continue after they wrecked their Quang Qi Chang Fen CFA2-31C into a tree. Yes, that is it’s name…….. The back and forth with the Chinese guys yelling half English half Chinese is pretty impressive. <br />

Norseman is at the end of the infamous Nullarbor crossing for travelers heading west. It’s the gateway to the west!<b> </b>The small town was discovered in July 1894 by Lawrence Sinclair and his horse “Norseman” for which he named the area. <br />
The big news today is that defending champion Jacob Smith went down down hard in SS9. SS8 was the first section the riders completed after leaving Coolgardie and Jacob came through there 2<sup>nd</sup>, 46 seconds behind current overall leader Ben Grabham. Midway into SS9 he came un glued from his machine and was rendered assistance by the next group of riders. <br />
Again, the heli team were fast on the scene and had Jacob transported off to the Kalgoorlie Regional Hospital.<br />
As I type this the riders are collecting at their time in point at the Norseman oval for 20 minutes of servicing before heading out to compete in SS10 this after noon.<br />

The course headed south/west out of Leonora down toward Coolgardie via some rocky outcrops and tight tree lined roads it was broken up by sandy hills and even some dry lake crossings, so a leg filled with variety.<br />

Not as chilly as it has been but still a crisp Aussie Outback morning. Todd Smith headed off first followed by the rest of the field at 1 minute intervals.<br />
Today was a marathon stage. The course was 483.37kms, and 422.76kms of this is competitive stages, so there’s no easy transports, and competitors should be traveling a bit more cautiously today because they cannot afford to have any mechanical failures.<br />

The only servicing on vehicles allowed is a 30-minute session in the Park Ferme at the end of the second competitive stage at the local “Footy“ oval in Leonora, Western Australia. Service crews can only provide bike covers, EZ Ups, enviro mats, fuel, air filters, oil & oil filters. All other tools have to be carried by the rider or driver. For autos, all the spares had to be carried in the car. “The limited servicing rule means that the mechanical skills of the drivers and riders are really tested.” says Clerk of Course Ron Rigby <br />

</div>My day was a bit of a bust and I have to find the guy that informed us there was a “jump” at Media Option 5 and educate him on the difference between a jump and a 6 inch mound…….. The old adage that “your first idea is always the best” came true as my trusty co-journo Mark Fattore from and I had originally decided to head to Media Option 4. We heard about the rumored “jump” and headed that way instead. As soon as we arrived we climbed from the Pajero and both asked where the jump was. After having it pointed out I yelled some expletives, some starting with “Mother” some beginning with “SON OF A……..”!<br />
Thinking someone was pulling our leg with the info Mark and I hiked off into the sunrise for 30 minutes or so looking for the elusive jump. All to no avail. To ad insult to injury the first bikes wouldn’t be through for another hour and the first cars were 3 hours away.<br />

Michael Vroom went down hard and dislocated his shoulder pretty badly. Unfortunately it looks like he is done with this years Safari. Fan favorite and South African hope Graham Grant also DNF’d today’s leg when the 1983 BMW R80 GS he is riding had an electrical issue. Look for a video interview with him tomorrow.

<br />
At precisely 7am on a crisp West Australian morning Todd Smith rolled off the line. With a 45 KM transit stage before the section actually got under way some of the riders chose to get rugged up and donned the warm weather gear. Warren Strange, who is no stranger (no pun intended) to the goldfields cold mornings, went one better and slipped some latex gloves over his riding gloves to keep the wind out. Before heading off from the competitive stage he would remove them and stuff them in a jacket pocket.<br />
The competitors had a reasonably large area to cover today and some of it was tight and technical but there were plenty of fast sections as well.<br />
<br />

AJ Roberts had a day he would like to forget when traveling at speed through one of the stages he was suddenly greeted by Todd Smith who had made a mistake reading his road book and managed to get lost. The two came together and AJ’s 2010 Safari was over as quickly as that. A broken wrist and a banged up bike were the result.<br />
<br />

As I type this the riders are still crossing the finish line from Stage three on the first competitive day. So far Ben Grabham is in the lead overall with Honda’s Todd Smith second, just shy of 1 minute and 30 seconds behind. Rod Faggotter is currently in 3rd right around 3 minutes behind Todd.<br />
Glenn Hoffmann’s, GHR Honda team owner, day didn’t even get started this morning when the buggy he was set to drive for this years Safari sustained a minor but event ending mechanical during yesterdays prologue.<br />

Today’s journey was a long one leaving Southern Cross and heading to Leonora. Unfortunately due to the sheer KM’s covered and the route we had to take to get to Leonora we did not get to see much of the actual race action. With steady updates and information constantly coming from race officials we were kept in the loop as to the days happenings. The organization of this event is far and beyond what I expected or could have ever thought it would be.<br />
<br />

The guys on the Adventure Tour which runs along side the Safari were having a great time and we got to catch up with them during the day. I will be uploading a short interview with a couple of these guys later this evening. Look for a link to this soon.<br />

When we arrived, the bivouac was already abuzz with people checking and rechecking bikes, cars and quads. Teams were setting up for the cold night ahead and riders had already started collecting and mounting road books.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My first order of business was to find a rider to run my EPIC Wide HD Helmet Cam. After a quick scout I managed to come across Ex-Motocrosser and all round good guy Warren Strange. We outfitted his helmet with the camera and I gave him a crash course on how to operate the tiny, helmet mounted camera. With a quick test we made sure things were good to go and I headed out to drive part of the Prologue in the brand spanking new Mitsubishi Pajero that was supplied by Mitsubishi Australia and carsales.com.au </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We found a great little spot for some pictures and settled in content in the knowledge that I would get some great still shots and also a full helmet cam video for everyone to watch. After shooting pictures all afternoon we loaded up the Pajero and headed back to the bivouac. After arriving and running to collect my helmet cam and check the EPIC footage……. Jumping with joy and so excited to watch the prologue from a riders point of view that I nearly pee’d my pants I plugged in the camera and clicked on the Video 1. The test worked! 5 seconds of test footage. Perfect. Then a quick double click on Video 2.…….. Nothing. Again a double click, still nothing. Now I am getting worried. I hand the camera and cable to a “real” journalist and he tells me the file is there but the size is 0 kbs. The next words out of my mouth were VERY loud and also not really something I should type on a family friendly blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway, KTM’s Todd Smith headed out for the prologue second off the grid and quickly made a push to get passed his brother, and last years overall winner, Jacob. GHR Honda’s AJ Roberts was second through the section and was 19 seconds behind Todd. Ben Grabham was another 4 seconds down and then my helmet cam wearing mate Warren Strange was 4<sup>th</sup>. Swedish rider Annie Seel had a couple problems and only managed to get through the section in 39<sup>th</sup>.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'MS Shell Dlg'; font-size: small;">Not much to report here from Day 2 of the Australasian Safari. We had a bunch of meetings today which included the Competitors Briefing, Media Briefing and then a Transport Briefing. As far as briefings go these were some of the most informative and well thought out ones I have attended. I have extreme ADD so I managed to slip out a couple times and take pictures, run around, scream and generally waste time effectively enough to not go crazy. With any luck I didn’t miss anything too important……<br />
After the briefings we set off for the “Official and Ceremonial Start of the event and then back to the Mess Tent for dinner. Tomorrow is Prologue and then we get into the nitty gritty of the event. For now though you can visit my picture site at:<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/mxmaley51">http://www.flickr.com/photos/mxmaley51</a> or even find some more information at the official Safari site at: <a href="http://www.australasiansafari.com.au/">www.australasiansafari.com.au</a> if that doesn’t whet your whistle then visit my friends blog over at: <a href="http://www.marathonrally.com/">www.marathonrally.com</a><br />

Day 1 of Scrutinering.Well, today has been a long day!!! It actually started with a 20 hour flight from LAX to Perth, Western Australia. After a stop over in Brisbane, where i got a complete search because the drug sniffer dog "had a different reaction" when he walked by me than most people, i was allowed to get on my next flight and head to Perth for the Safari. My plane rolled up to the gate at 12pm and by 12.15 i was on my way to the Safari HQ.<br />
What a set up these guys throw together. WiFi, competitor greeting packs that include shirts, hats, a cooler, a bottle of wine and numerous other goodies. Every night the whole shebang gets packed up and moved down the road, along with the mess tent, WiFi system, medical center and staff. <br />
Today was the start of scrutineering and me getting to know the people i will be travelling with for the next 8 days.<br />
All in all it was a great day to get acquaited with the set up, shake some hands and take some photo's. The jet lag has started to kick in tonight so after i upload this and check my all important FaceBook I will be hitting the hay at "Safari Village", yes they have set up a small village, and trying to catch some zzzzzz's for tomorrow.<br />
