This one I can safely say I will make.

I'll be there. The question is will I go via Pinnaroo Alawoona or Loxton.

You come up one way, and go home the other.

If you decide on the Loxton route, then you have the choice of the Sturt Highway or the Stott highway.

. Hoping to make this one

I won't be able to make it to Paruna.

I'm 50:50 unfortunately. My sister and hubby are coming over from Tassie (and it is very sensible to remain in the good books with a Tassie resident) but I'm unsure if she will be arriving Saturday (hence unavailable) or Sunday (in which case I should be able to make it - as a lone rider).
I'll let you'll know, once I know.

I am still able to go, which is good as it is only half an hour or so from home.

Going one way and returning another is always a given. I was planning to do the length of the Goyder Highway from Crystal Brook to the Riverland on saturday, overnighting somewhere and returning the quickest way on sunday, but something has come up on saturday so it'll be a day trip for me.

I'll leave t to those who are going to mak the booking.

Langers · « **Reply #11 on:** July 04, 2023, 05:04:48 PM »

I reckon I can make this one, so put me down - it will just be me.

Dragonstaff · « **Reply #12 on:** July 04, 2023, 08:09:41 PM »

I shall ring them tomorrow, and make a booking for four for 12:30, if that is good with everyone.

Done.

Booked for four, at 12:30, but they are flexible if it ends up three or five (I will be in the car, so might bring the boss).

Hi Dave, thanks for the call last night. Have now joined the group. Unfortunately I can't make Paruna but should be be at Barmera. Regards

Good lunch and good food. Thanks guys.

Arrived home safely. Huge portions that I couldn't finish (which is rare for me). I can certainly recommend this place. On the way I looked at the Travelling Duck Café - a venue we had pencilled in for earlier this year but was unavailable because of fire damage. It still had a sign to that effect on it saying they "won't be operating until further notice" so it could be a while before it reopens.

Only a short one but he's drone footage of Paruna.

For some reason I got logged out of my drone app and couldn't be bothered bringing it down, connecting to the net, logging in and putting it back up. Not being logged in restricts how high and far you can fly.
