Rest well tonight after a hot day of travel mate.

I believe its 32 degrees there in Mildura?

Hence the cold shower. Aircon is working a treat.

The kwaka should clock up 75000 klicks on this trip.

It did between Rainbow and Hopefoun. Didn't think to check until the latter so no photograph.

Homeward bound, and before the real heat starts.
Already 23, rising to 36. Same temp expected in Adelaide today. Ride safe Bodø.

From Wiki ......

Harrow is a town in the Wimmera region of western Victoria, Australia. The town is located in the Shire of West Wimmera local government area, 391 kilometres north west of the state capital Melbourne (or 411km south east of Adelaide), overlooking the Glenelg River valley. At the 2011 census, Harrow and the surrounding area had a population of 315.

A town originally known as Upper Glenelg was established in the 1840s and is claimed to be the oldest inland town in Victoria. Well how about that!!

A great night was had by all, by my counting (after a few schooners, so might not be accurate) was 16 for dinner in the upstairs dinning room of the Hermitage Hotel, Harrow. Good food (slow for some aye Nigel), cold beers and great company.

The pub was packed to the rafters with the local, our small group and a local lads "buck's party", and some entertainment - Nigel was complaining about bruised retinas.

Some pics:

ST's (and one ring-in) all in a row, getting ready for the group pic.

Yeah, links works, but I meant the pic isn't embedded, unless you can see the pic without clicking on the link?

You think maybe Bodø is using this trip as a 'dry run' for next years National meeting?

Kev Murphy · « **Reply #167 on:** November 19, 2018, 01:27:12 PM »

Should be at home again within an hour and a half, depending on traffic density.

I hope somebody will be along soon to post pics of the group photo. I promised Nigel I would photoshop one of him. It was a bit touch 'n' go for a while but he did make it in time for the group pic
