I am currently planning a Nationwide OzSTOC Meeting for all of us who love to ride, and particularly - the Honda ST.
Discussions are welcome below.
Please acknowledge that I have to make general plans and can't cater to everyone's wishes.
Basically there will be a set place to meet for a 'Ride in, meet greet & eat, stay the night (speaking copius amounts of BS), and ride out the next day' scenario.
Of course, people can arrive earlier and leave later to incorporate more of a holiday.
At this point, the location is:- (drum roll.....)
Blackheath Glen Tourist Park
Phone: 02 4787 8101
Email: blkheath@tpg.com.au
Address: 67-69 Prince Edward St, Blackheath NSW 2785.
There is also the world's steepest railway, the 1000ft scenic cable car, the Three Sisters, and, for the more adventurous, hiking and the Jenolan Caves.
The roads in and out are quite scenic and fun too. (If possible - be sure to use the Putty Road and/or the Snowy Mtns Highway to get there!
This is a starting point and as central as possible.
The location will change each year so that you may have a smaller ride one year and a larger the next. Don't forget your OzSTOC Clobber!
Let the discussions begin.
Cheers, Diesel

I'll be getting there around 11am, and leaving the park around lunch time on Sunday (after checking out the cable car, three sisters etc. Everyone is welcome to join in - maybe we can have a little tour around the Blue Mtns - we'll see as it gets closer.
