Stage 2 was to ride the sidecar to Tassie via the Spirit of Tasmania and then fly home.
Shortly after leaving home I met up with Mitch who rode with me to Norseman. We saw a CTX 1300 refeuling at one petrol stop.
Sunday saw Mitch heading for home and me to Eucla,
Monday on to Wudinna then Victor Harbor Tuesday to overnight with friends Steve and Christine
Wednesday headed for Steve's 1,000 acres at the back of Tintinara about 2 hrs east of Victor Harbor.
Here I helped Steve and his mate Pete prepare for the 140th birthday party (both Steve and Pete turning 70 this year).
By late Saturday afternoon we had been joined by about 35 caravans, about 100 people and numerous dogs ready for that nights birthday celebrations.
Sunday morning after bacon, eggs and pancakes I headed for Horsham. The first 6 kms being dirt I was happy to see just the odd puddle remaining from 13 mm of rain on the Friday night. In Horsham I had coffee with two mates from the group I rode R66 with several years ago then onto Creswick for the night. Monday morning catch up with a friend in Creswick then head to Port Melbourne to catch the nights ferry. There was another CTX 1300 catching the ferry.
Tuesday rode to my cousins near Geeveston and but the sidecar to bed where it will be stored until Theresa and I fly to Hobart the Friday of the rally.
