Wilson Clan 150th year reunion
« on: October 04, 2019, 12:44:53 PM »
This long weekend, the clan are reuniting to celebrate 150 years in the Kyogle district of The Risk.


My spot for the weekend.

I rode down this morning to The Risk School to meet up with my Brother, Niece and Cousin, who were planning to ride from Voltz Rd (named after our Grandfather) up to the Qld Border on the Lions Rd and back. I followed them up and back

The start line

The summit



The relaxed ride back


Some plaques


At the school, my brother noticed this.

Family's been in the area for a few generations, aye!



Cairneys Creek Road?

Cairneys Creek Road?
Gradys Creek Road (Low Road dirt section with half a dozen causeway crossings)
My Niece rode across first, and just before she exited, the moss on the concrete caused her to slip and fall. My brother was videoing it.

She posted it on 'Insta' and top level Australian cyclists have been commenting.

After a pleasant lunch at the Sugarbowl Café with the aforementioned relatives, we went on our separate ways until tomorrow.

I sent a lovely afternoon catching up with Dad and Fae. And worked out a way to share photos of his Great Grandchildren onto his 55 inch TV.

Aragog at Voltz Road which is named after my Grandfather.
 

"Brooklyn" the farm and house my Nana and Grandad owned, and this was the house I came home to after I was born.
