I will put it on my ride list to see if I can make it.  And unless it changes, Penrose Park accepts cash only and pub gets sick of cashouts (but can be done if you spend money there later on)

Could be part of keeping on going somewhere else...

I've just contacted the Penrose Park management.

The Silver City website hasn't been updated for awhile so I'd be ringing for correct prices.

No need to book for a basic camping site though might be best if you need power. $10 per adult per night. Also EFTPOS is still a no go and CASH (except Hotel) is needed.

Some cabins were $70 and others up to a $100 per night and best to book and confirm pricing when doing so on 08 80885307

I have also emailed the hotel for their recently opened accommodation pricing and 08 80885313 is their number.

Email response from the hotel:-

The rates are $120.00 per double and $25.00 per extra person (I can do a group booking at a better rate)

Each room has a Queen bed.2 singles and a trundle

I'm pretty sure you could drop Saaz off the list.  He has another battle to fight for a little while.

I don't plan on taking the tent this time, so does anyone want to bunk in with some shared hard accommodation?

That's what most of us used in the last few years. Hotel rooms have only opened up in the last year or so.

Suppose I'd better think about organising the trailer - now where did I hide the three person tent and air bed?????
Aired my older tent out yesterday and inflated the old airbed ( stayed up so all good) just to make sure and recharged our new airbed pump (still have the 12volt one as spare).

Anyone have an ETA and maybe we can meet at the hotel room where most seem to be staying. Depending on when I leave home I'd say around 2:30 to 3:00 arrival at the caravan park for me.

If coming up from Adelaide...... the BP truck stop at Yunta might be your best option for fuel. There's no fuel at Silverton so Broken Hill for the return trip.

Yep, they told me when i booked, no biggie though they're not expensive. On the topic of travelling, most of my riding is solo, but i wouldnt mind catching  up with other riders maybe oodlawirra or possibly yunta - both have roadhouses and serve coffee  :hatwave. Be a change to ride in company. What are others travel plans, if its not too soon to ask...

Not sure about Oodlawirra roadhouse.....it did go up for sale a little while back and looked closed in September last year but Terowie is open again (last two years).

I went through there around June/July, but can't remember whether the roadhouse was open or not! Terowie would be off my route by some, i'm coming from port augusta so orrorroo/peterborough/oodlawirra etc.
I'll keep a lookout for your headlights Pete   ;-* ;-* , shouldn't be too many bikes on the road at midnight...

I have mucked up this post big time, so here's the corrected version.   I expect to be at Yunta at one o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, and no "out of office hours" long distance ride for me this time (and I've just spotted my typo's)
Mike, your route should have you going through Yunta as well.
Anyone leaving from Adelaide might like to meet at the Bolivar Caltex at 9.30am on Saturday morning.

Just four riders made it to Silverton, with Alan and Heather needing to pull out at the lat minute.   We all shared a room in a beaut accommodation block at the back of the Silverton Hotel.   After drinks and nibbles, we wandered the 10 meters to the pub for a our meal.  There was only one other party staying for the night, so Keith joined us for dinner.  He's travelling all over Australia with his disabled partner.  Good on them for spending their time seeing this great country up close.

We were told that the Hotel had served 50 meals at Saturday lunch and was anticipating 100 meals on Sunday, but just five us for Saturday evening.    Our plan was to have breakfast at the pub, which we were told opened for business around 8.00am, but at 8.10 there was no sign of life, so we headed into Broken Hill for a coffee and something to eat at Maccas.   Our "Flag" photo was in front of the ruisn of the old Silverton Hotel, which was the venue for a meeting in 1885 which formed BHP.

It was another great OzSTOC weekend, with attendees being Mikep, Nigel, Ppopeye and StinkyPete

Hi all what a great ride, left early about 3.35 arrived just on 1 pm. Mixture of cool to bloody cold and onto warm, then rain from Ouyen to outskirts of Mildura. The 300 k`s between Mildura to B Hill is magnificent nice and flat big sweeping curves and lots of straights. About 30 on arrival hit the bar with Garry then relax for arrival of Pete and Mike. Great meal and company. Quick breakfast at Maccas  with some more rain but mostly gone 10 mins out of B Hill, so sets the scene for a great ride home. Warmer  :H and Blue sky's for the trip back, all good till I ran out of fuel at Carlsrue. :cuss Quick call to RACV, and 20 mins later the final leg to get home for 730. Top weekend covered 1800 K`s so that's my personal best on a bike, and done without any issues..Next one bring it on................................. :wht11
