By Duncan Bennett. Rydges Resort, scene of the 2020 Compass Expeditions Reunion. After an unpack, it was off to the bar to greet old mates and meet other Compass ride veterans. This event attracts people from far and wide so there are about as many boring moments as toilet paper rolls in the local Woollies. A […]
Compass Expeditions – COVID-19 Update.
Dear Valued Customers, Whoever said it would be problematic to run an international tour company was spot on but who would have ever planned for something like COVID 19? These are clearly testing times for the global community, and especially so for small businesses with the travel industry being particularly hard hit. It was around […]
Asian Overland 2020 Road Report – Week #5 – Back into Thailand
By Jerry Cook I don’t think anyone in the group really was ready to leave Myanmar. We were enjoying this country immensely. After 11 days, with the last few having been some of the best riding of the trip so far, it was time to cross the Mai Sai border and enter the infamous Golden Triangle region […]
Asian Overland 2020 Road Report – Week #4 – More Myanmar

Asian Overland 2020 Road Report – Week #2 – Thailand
By Jerry Cook When I looked ahead at the tour itinerary and saw that my birthday was going to be in Krabi, Thailand I knew it was going to be a good one. I was right! I woke up in our beautiful hotel, the Anyavee Resort to many messages from friends and family all around the […]
Asian Overland 2020 Road Report – Week #1
By Jerry Cook Singapore & Malaysia When I was growing up, I was fortunate to spend many a Christmas and school holiday in Singapore. Being only a relatively short flight from my hometown of Perth and with my relatives living there, it was the ideal family getaway. I have many fond memories of carefree teenage days […]
Oktoberfest in November Sale
October is done and we have been too busy to fit in an Oktoberfest indulgence to celebrate our ongoing love affair with BMW motorcycles. German engineering at its best as far as we Compass expeditions are concerned! So, to celebrate, we purchased a couple of the new GS models, did the math, and realised that, […]
