I was planning on buying a 4wd and heading out to Birdsville then up to Karumba via a quick visit to your fine self and Wendys but it seems the Diamantina, Eyre and Birdsville Development Roads will be out of action for some time to varying extents.

What's your current plan? Still looking to attend?

I've got a few days in Port Germein ahead of this RTE to ride the Germein Gorge & a few other rides, as well as getting so E fishing and crabbing in from the longest wooden jetty in the Southern Hemisphere.

I may also try and get some aerial footage as well - I've given into temptation and got a drone. Not a Mavic though, a Zero-X as a starter.

Current plan is to leave Easter Monday.Either inland or coast road to Sydney on Day 1.

Day 2 and 3 is Wollongong to Bega to cover that section i've not done yet then up to Cooma - Jindabyne - Alpine way to Corryong - Omeo - Dargo High Plains road down to Bairnsdale.

Day 4 i'll start working my way across Victoria either via G.O.R or through the middle.

Depends on how i'm going but i have options in SA to get to lunch on Saturday.

.... Corryong - Omeo - Dargo High Plains road down to Bairnsdale....

You must've have found Nigel's old GPS.

https://goo.gl/maps/U614TxDhexpMSQMj9

The direct road from Corryong to Omeo has something like 85km of dirt, but the route on the map via Mitta Mitta is so good, you'll want to do it again and again.  Also, the Dargo High Plains b/t St Bernard and Dargo is mostly dirt.

If you have a stay planned near Melbourne, we have some unfinished business at Moondog World.

Link not for Duncan, he needs no introduction, but for others who can only dream.

Bugger. Depending on how i'm going time wise i may have to go via Mitta Mitta or just start heading westwards after Corryong. Omeo is basically booked out accommodation wise due to NSW & VIC school holidays which start a week later than Qld.

I'd imagine it will be a similar story in other regional holiday areas. I'll have to play it by ear i guess.

I was going to stop by Mr Banks at Seaford this time around if i ended up going via Melbourne.

You're being too kind, Michael.
We travelled it last year and the road is basically rock...and rough as guts! Think it shook all my fillings out... :||||

One advantage of being the last to vacate their tables was we got to do this group photo in front of the Mcleods' Daughters art work.  I'm working today so the ride report will come tomorrow, but for now here's a group photo.

Back in Brisbane to enjoy the last 3 days of my annual leave.
Arrived from Dubbo about 4pm.
It was great catching up with again after not having seen some of you since 2018.
The last 2 days i seem to have gotten back into the groove of 10 - 12 hours days with little to no discomfort unlike the first 4 days.

Bring on September  :beer

Like Bodo mentioned in his ride report, he hasn't seen McLeod's Daughters.  Neither have I, but at least his excuse is worthy as an immigrant.

Mine less so as my cousin's granddaughter's played a role in the production, rotating  between the 3 triplets as the 'daughter' of one of the characters.

My father was one of 13, he was a twin. But as far as I'm aware, there haven't been any other multiple births in the family - but considering the potential outcomes that could occur from being one of 13 & I have cousins I've never met, could be more multiple births in recent years.

I don’t know what happened but I wrote a detailed or  longwinded Ride Report. Added about 6or 7 photos and choosing the right sized option only to get a photo too big notice warning thingy. Then when I tried to find which photo was too big I lost my long winded report.  This has happened a lot before on past rides.
So in brief :
I left home in the KimbUs and made my way down to Freeling South Australia without telling anyone other than Dougie Cerebral Knievel. I meet up with Duncan at Swan Reach then followed him to the RTE where it was great to catch up again with our SA crew Stinky Pete, Bodo, Shillas, Langers and Julie.
I left afterwards and headed for home along the Sturt Hwy and manage to catch Dougie in Balranald for Breakfast and a photo op at Hells Gate then headed for home arriving 4.30pm Sunday.
Now Ill try adding photos again without losing this shortened ride report

Or are you heading there head first? :rofl :rofl :rofl
