2017 National Rally Location - Released
« on: March 13, 2016, 08:54:37 AM »
The location for the 2017 National Rally to be held on the 20-23 October 2017 is.........WOOLI



This is going to be a Rally with a number of differences......while the main cruxed of the event will be the winning formula developed by OzSTOC and it various National Rally teams the biggest change for 2017 will be the Location......


In previous years we have utilised locations that were on the verge of cities or in large regional locations where the dollars we as a group bought to that centre really didn't make a difference to that area's economy. That is to change for 2017 for this small town.

Wooli is a very small town located between Grafton and Coffs Harbour on the NSW Northcoast alongside the Wooli river. It has all the essential ingredients to be an awesome rally venue......but with a number of twists that will be revealed as the year progresses. The region is enriched with some of Australia's premier Motorcycling roads in the Waterfall way, Oxley, Gwydir and Bruxner Highways and a multitude of ancillary roads. This gives attendees so many options  ;-*

Your National Rally team has already been selected and are committed to your NatRally experience.



As Daryl Eastlake says........"It's going to be HUUUUGE !!"

Brilliant planning!
These OZSTOC Rallies just keep getting better (not that there was anything wrong with all the others- just the organisers keep outdoing each other!)

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

Just up the road is Minnie Water which over a decade ago, Dezohn and I discovered a huge native bee hive in the caves of the cliff, the entrance is/was below high tide. In curious to go back and see if it still exists.

Roughly 3800 km round trip for me if I follow this idea http://goo.gl/maps/BbTT6mYNmEQ2 Just something to work on over the next year or so.

Awesome job guys  :-++, loved the rally on the weekend (my first, but definitely not my last!). Gives me something to aim for next year...and a good chance to catch up with some old friends as well since Jo (my wife) and I used to live in Coffs Harbour back in the early 90's  :runyay. It will be nice 8,700km round trip (approx.) if we can make it.

Nothing stopping you planning :D

BTW why weren't you at the turn off to Peterborough as we were riding through with a lemon-aide stand?

Planning is under way.

Which Peterborough turn off and there's more than one plus someone didn't put their planned ride route up.
