Ahhhhhhh  the Parky pub on a Sunday session. The closest pub to Midland open in those days on a Sunday. Nudist club nearby so what goes on in the hills stays in the hills.  :eek :eek :eek I hope  :eek :eek :eek :eek
Mundaring close by and some great riding. Good coffee too!!

Well that halved the NT OzSTOC division pretty soon after it doubled!

I thought you might have been offered a job in the NW of WA recently vacated by Alans1100.  He could have given you some insights before it was too late.

You might find Perth, especially out east, gets warm some days too, but probably never as humid as Darwin.
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

Yeah Biggles. I had the same thought re the NT branch of OzSTOC... nevermind, I'll just have to ride with the WA mob (IF they will have me) !
After two years in Darwin I want the chance to be able to ride without sweating buckets... even when squidding you sweat.

Thanks ST2UP  :p

Paul,  I hope you enjoy Perth, personally, I'm a Darwin girl, lived in Perth for about 6 months and didn't like it (admittedly didn't have a bike at the time and was living with inlaws).
