Lionel and I had coffee with Growly on Saturday and collected our rally packs. Thanks to johnnyYTED and Growly, couriers extrodinaire!

Wish I could have collected it in person but the cookie didn’t crumble that way!

Hope to be there in Tassie!

Well after a 4 week sleep over in Sydney the wing finally arrived home on Monday.
Almost 680 litres of fuel at over $1,200 and more then 12,600 kms.
Now it needs a very good clean.
Edit there is something wrong with the above litre or dollar figures but I can't find the fault in my spreadsheet!!!!! Fuel quantity updated

The economy of 25 km to the litre looks a bit optimistic, but you've got to stop buying that $2.40/litre fuel or you'll go broke!
Maybe there's a bunch of pies and Coke on the fuel dockets.
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

Found the problem in my spreadsheet some numbers were stored as text actual total fuel was 680 litres at an average of $1.87 litre and about 18.55 km per litre

Well, I'm here. Where is everybody? :crackup

Better late than never, but I've finally made it to Mackay. Monday to Wednesday night taken up with a conference for work, including numerous happy hours and a couple of dinners. Tough job this network and relationship building, but it has to be done, and I'm willing to take that for the team. :grin

Caught up with Kate today who took me around some of the sights of Mackay, including a few of the locations where all the Rally Attendees went. John was working, so didn't get to catch up with him, but said hi over the phone. The intent is to get together on Sunday night for an Indian meal.

Enjoying my time up here immensely, and while in a Kia rather than an ST, I intend to have a fantastic time doing the sites, relaxing with some fishing and pool time and catching up with the Scarlett Thunderbolt crew.

Aiming to bring Sandra up here in the next couple of years for a follow up trip.  :thumbs

If they arrive before you head off for Harrow I'd be happy to collect them from you at Harrow and be a courier for the South Australian contingent.
