That would be a gross understatement.  It almost requires a knowledge of when those two bikes were parked together.  Someone on the forum who owns the other bike will know.
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

I'm not aware of a Silver ST in SA, and thus my thought is that the photo was taken when Shillas was on his trip to Wooli last year.

Not in NSW, not in Woodside.

There is a Silver ST with SA rego, and from memory a cup holder as a farkle. Didn't have any Ozstoc cards on me to leave on it though when I parked next to it.

I would hazard a guess that all SA Ozstoc members would have been here a few times,

This evening I got some overtime to do a run through Mclaren Vale and Willunga.  A couple 9f the Mclaren Vale buildings looked like they could well be candidates.

I must admit it I didn't recognise it (that said I have never been to the information centre there).

This one should be a lot easier:

Driven / ridden past it 100's of times, never been as close as you though.  Anyway, back soon with a pic.

Okay, here we go, where's this pic?



I had to blur the plaque inscription, otherwise some of you eagle-eyed, and Google proficient, would get it very easily.

Hint No. 1

This war memorial is located in a town, which according to Wikipedia, was on the original Sydney to Melbourne (or could be the Melbourne to Sydney) Road.  Wiki did not refer to the road as the Hume Highway, so I suspect it preceded the naming of the road as a highway - so it must be an old town.   And I suppose it narrows it down to NSW or VIC.
