There is some discussion of a gathering at Coober Pedy instead, but I suggest we wait and see how the pandemic crisis plays out before making a decision.

That's all we can do.

Bugger!   I was looking forward to a decent long ride, catching up with everyone, and getting a FarRiders LR12 done on the way home.

Me too, especially given people from so many states were going to be involved and Kulgera seemed like something different for an RTE.  2021 perhaps.

Can an ST handle the Strezleki track?


Although the ST1300 handles quite well on smooth dirt roads I would be hesitant to attempt the Strezleki track.

My comment was somewhat in jest.  I took the kwaka down 100m of Parachilna Gorge Road before deciding no and turning around.

My estranged wife just sent me this, so it looks like no Mexicans are going to get to Coober Pedy either.

Reluctanly I have sent an email off to my accommodation in Coober Pedy to cancel it after today's announcement from the state government.

I changed the habit of a lifetime and have booked and paid for accommodation well ahead of time.

We currently have a B & B booked in Clare over Easter, followed by a few nights at Wilpena Pound in the Flinders Ranges.

In June, we have a place in Bali booked. Might get some credits for domestic accommodation and the airfares, but the Bali stay will probably be a write off. Will have to see what the travel insurance does.

... We currently have a B & B booked in Clare over Easter ...

Have received refunds for two AirBNB bookings we made before 14 March.  No refunds expected on some other bookings, will need to rely on travel insurance. 

... Will have to see what the travel insurance does.

As above, but the way I read my RACV policy is that we are covered for cancellations of bookings in DFAT "Do Not Travel" countries.  It's all in the small print, I just hope there isn't any section, clause, sub-clause, sub-sub-clause I missed.
