Sounds interesting but bad timing for me. Perhaps another day.

I'll provide a bit more notice for 2016.

It is a top spot, albeit in a valley (the track falls around 800m down to the Crooked River, over the last 5km).

I will just be back from 6 weeks away, and the Wall to Wall ride is on that weekend. I should start noting all the rallies that are on as well, as haven't been to one for years. Then in between everything else that is on, I may be able to make a few.

Just a couple of more pics from the 2014 Dargo High Plains Rally to whet the appetite:

There's adequate room for camping.

There's a river to cross, if you come that way.

There's some good company.

Surely some OzSTOCers (other than me) are interested.
