She'll be right!: Tales and thoughts of a woman's motorcycle adventure Down Under
At the age of twenty-six, Chantal Simons, born and raised in the Netherlands, can no longer contain her adventurous spirit. Having seen enough of everyday life, she makes the bold decision to take to the roads of the vast Australian continent on her 250CC motorbike, lovingly known as the ‘Chook Chaser’.
Starting her travels in Perth, Chantal heads east in the company of her father. After crossing the Nullarbor together the pair split up and Chantal continues her odyssey alone, riding all the way to Queensland where she temporarily settles down to a life of sun and surf on the Sunshine Coast. After a spell of teaching at a Brisbane university, she again heads off, in the company of a friend, into the red heart of Australia on a journey that will ultimately lead the pair all the way to Darwin.
Along the way Chantal meets extraordinary people, has up-close encounters with local wildlife and visits some of the world’s most exquisite natural creations. Facing mental as well as physical challenges, she spends much of her time on the road pondering the deeper questions of life. The inevitable fears and doubts inherent in such ventures are dismissed, along with much cautionary advice from well-meaning others, as Chantal single-mindedly follows what she has decided is her destiny.
Life on the road teaches her to rely on herself and her intuition.
She’ll be Right! is the story of a young woman’s journey around Australia, spiced with plenty of adventure, a pinch of soul searching and a sparkle of romance.
