Accommodation Option 1

Hermitage Hotel

Call Natalie: 03 5588 1209 (after 3.00 pm week days).

They have:
All include a self-serve continental breakfast.

Natalie has pencilled us in for the next two weeks, but will need some form of confirmation as some stage, otherwise we could risk the rooms going elsewhere - well to some other group or individuals.

Accommodation Option 2

Seldom Inn B&B

The Seldom Inn is a B&B only a 500m walk to the pub, there are two bedrooms each with a double bed.  I have reserved one bedroom for Helen and me.  The other bedroom is available for another couple, male & female, male & male, or female & female, or a single (but at a double cost), so whatever floats your boat.   

The cost per head is just over $45 per night.  If anyone is interested in this option, message me please, I'll organise rather than confusing the owner.

better be careful with that interpretation.

Portland isn't that far from Harrow.

Dinner could mean lunch time depending on where you grew up. With the evening meal it could be dinner or tea time

Good evening Sir Michael, Sir Garry of Croydon is currently in possession of the Victorian flag. As we will be attending Meningie SA and Junee NSW prior to Harrow RTE would it be possible to borrow said flag for these RTEs?🤓

Anything like RTEs can be created as event and posted. I've done it for awhile with our state RTEs;

Surprised that you didn't get the event invite as it goes out to everyone on the group page.

Indicated on FB page as may be attending:

Peoples, there are 26 beds at Harrow, 22 at the pub, four at the B&B (refer to reply #4 & #5 in this thread).   If the numbers indicating as attending or may be, minus JD & Chippy (camp ground) and Kev & mate (dinner only), all confirm they will take 12 beds.  That leaves 14 beds for others who have not indicated either way, as yet.

So, an early commitment and a booking will be to your advantage.

Don't forget to book yourselves in to the pub, or if you want to the second bedroom at the Seldom Inn B&B cottage, PM me direct and I'll book you in.

Re. Accommodation, Garry has a double room booked (through me) at the Seldom Inn B&B cottage, just up or down the road from the pub.

If the pub only has a single room left, you may be able to swap the B&B double for a pub single with him.  I have a missed call from the B&B lady. I'll call her later (website says calls after 3:00pm), and then let you know more, if you don't find out in the meantime.

If accommodation is a problem, you could also tow the Elite camper, there's room for two in the camper and two in the annex.

It would be verrrrrry cosy.

I haven't heard from any of the people who had expressed interest on Facebook, so I won't leave them on a may be list.

Had a call from Natalie at the Hermitage Hotel Harrow tonight, checking on numbers for dinner on Saturday 17 November.  Best I could work out was 19. 

But Natalie only had 11 Hotel room bookings, and I worked out that with 19 in the above list and 7 not staying at the Hotel - Helen & me, and Garry (at the B&B), Jonathon & Vera (at the camp ground), and Kev & mate (not staying overnight), this would 12 at the Hotel.  So, please check you Hotel booking.

Anyway, Natalie will reserve us a table for 20.  Numbers on the night will be tight as they have another large group in for dinner, so if any others are going for dinner or overnight, let Natalie or me know, please.

Only seven more sleeps!

For anyone wanting some ride company, Helen and I will be leaving St Helena Saturday at around 9:00am, arriving Roadhaven Cafe Rockbank (BP, McDonalds, etc...) around 10:00am, leave there 10:30am sharp.

A leisurely ride via the Western Freeway for a bakery lunch at Ararat, around 12:30pm to 1:30pm, and then another leisurely ride to Harrow, arrive around 4:00pm.

Route "To" something like this: https://goo.gl/maps/1e57GtK2z7F2

Email from the Hermitage Hotel Harrow on the weekend, wanting a time for dinner (as they have another large group coming after 7:00pm).  So to be socially correct, I have advised 6:30pm.

And the booking is under the OzSTOC name.

I expect to be holding up a corner of the bar from around 4:30pm, see y'all sometime after then.

Unfortunately I (& Julie) are a late withdrawal. I seem to have picked up a ripper lurgy which started in the head a couple of days ago and seemed nothing serious but has headed south and turned into a nasty bronchitis, with the Doc suggesting it probably wouldn't be a good idea to go ahead.
I hope every one has a great ride to and from the event and a terrific dinner.

Sorry about that Bodo - If I wasn't taking Julie on the back I'd probably do the ride (albeit coating the inside of the visor like I did on the Byron return ride this year) but when you have another person's life in your hands you want to be at the top of your game, so to speak. On the upside - at least I can't infect anyone on the Harrow ride.

Not sure what time I shall arrive.  Upon waking up I'll have a shower, cup of coffee, look at facebook, load the kwaka and depart in the dark.  My planned breakfast stop is Keith and after that I want to check out Mundulla and Frances before traversing Edenhope to Harrow.  Sunday I booked accommodation at Mildura so intend to go there via White Cliffs.  Monday return home via Wentworth, and Renmark.  The kwaka has never been to Renmark (or Mildura for that matter).

On a side note I booked my ferry to Taswegia for next year's national rally.  The ship just got real !!!

10.25 pm, and in the door at home again, had a few skippys and two koalas on the road heading towards Coleraine.

Thanks to everyone for the chats and well wishes. A great get-together.

Safe travel home to all for tomorrow.

The kwaka should clock up 75000 klicks on this trip.

It did between Rainbow and Hopefoun.  Didn't think to check until the latter so no photograph.

From Wiki ......

Harrow is a town in the Wimmera region of western Victoria, Australia. The town is located in the Shire of West Wimmera local government area, 391 kilometres north west of the state capital Melbourne (or 411km south east of Adelaide), overlooking the Glenelg River valley. At the 2011 census, Harrow and the surrounding area had a population of 315.

A town originally known as Upper Glenelg was established in the 1840s and is claimed to be the oldest inland town in Victoria.
  Well how about that!!

A great night was had by all, by my counting (after a few schooners, so might not be accurate) was 16 for dinner in the upstairs dinning room of the Hermitage Hotel, Harrow.  Good food (slow for some aye Nigel), cold beers and great company.

The pub was packed to the rafters with the local, our small group and a local lads "buck's party", and some entertainment - Nigel was complaining about bruised retinas. 

Some pics:

ST's (and one ring-in) all in a row, getting ready for the group pic.

I hope somebody will be along soon to post pics of the group photo.  I promised Nigel I would photoshop one of him.  It was a bit touch 'n' go for a while but he did make it in time for the group pic

My mistake, Nigel wasn't MIA, it's that we didn't spot him standing in front of the orange pub wall, to start with. 

Was worried that Bodo and John might have slept-in and missed the group pic, not adjusting their clocks to make up for the VIC / SA time difference, and all that.  But John assured me that he adjusted his clock as he crossed the border put it forward by 20 years he said.

It was just like It had come from the showroom floor .Plus it took less than $20 dollars to fill up from empty!
