Chris and I heading off bright and early tomorrow (Monday) morning.  Our planned route is Balranald, Hay Plain and north up the Newell Highway, so we may happen to meet some other OzSTOC travelers along the main route north.

Safe travels everyone and we'll see you at Toowoomba for a great time, thanks to the QLD organizers.   We are so hanging out for this adventure.  :thumb

For all those hitting the road this week or already well on the way.....travel safe, and get theses cameras into action for all the poor unfortunate members who cannot attend but will wish to live vicariously through you on your NatRally adventure to QLD  :hatwave   :hatwave


Don't forget all the pictures you can get along the way to play in the forum Picture games.....ST's in front of BIG things, Photo Tag, Find-A-Town..... :think1

Safe trip guys.
The weather at Forbes is lovely this morning, were just packing up and getting ready to move on, hoping to get as far as goondiwindi tonight, but all depends on how long we stop for, or get side tracked, be one step closer anyway.  ;-*

I have to say this is all very strange, the last 2 years, we would be packed to leave, shiney and I would be set for our normal two weeks inside each others heads, instead i am riding 4.2km to the caravan park after driving there 2 or 3 times to drop off stuff.

safe travels to all.

really looking forward to seeing everyone!

Well I have tried a few different ways to get to the National Rally.
The quickest way takes me 15 minutes with no traffic  :grin
But the 3,000km round trip to Wodonga for the Ulysses AGM gives me a chance to get a decent ride in  :like
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Toowoomba on Friday :runyay

For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott
