It's been awhile since Tom De Souza dropped his last instalment of the Indonesian Motorcycle Diaries.

Six months to be precise, time that Tom spent getting back to Australia, driving across the continent, then, explains Tom, "re-establishing a sense of permanence and stability."

Permanence and stability assured, helped along by a grant from DFAT, Tom's finished Part 3 and it's the culmination of the other chapters. Meeting the locals, putting in the hard yards, all to score two days of quality uncrowded waves.

Lucked out there - my good mate surfed the same wave with 4 boats plus all the land campers last season. Put me off ever going back, though this changed my mind again. Glad you scored Tom!

I couldn't believe it was Dire Straits.

Loved the sound so went looking for the artist, much surprised on discovering it was Knopfler and co.

I was there too. First year out of high school. I was beyond the nose-bleed section but it was a killer concert.

What a piece of art! No explanation needed. Impeccable use of slo-mo and what a song. Onya Tom!
