After 45 days napping, the Mighty ST was ready to unleash it's mighty POWER.
Saturday:
Delayed start was the only item in my itinerary that didn't go to plan, didn't think I would have time for pics but made good time on the road, stopped at Scammell's Lookout.

The rally was organised by the BMW ACT Club, not many attended, probably around 50 or 60, some said there use to be 300 to 400 in the early 80's.

Usual raffle, $1:00 per ticket, 1st prize was a choice of a BMW jacket ($1,200 worth) or Helmet ($900), lots of consolation prizes, I won a mini air-compressor and a bottle of tyre sealant.
Consumed a few frostie frothies, sat around a camp fire, talked, listened to a lot of bulltish, early to bed, early to rise.
Sunday:
A couple of more pics before leaving. A view of the west face of Mount Kosciuszko.

And from memory a Strawberry Port. The wines are in the ranges of dry, medium, and sweet.

Why "Clack Clack"?
Simply because "Colac Colac" is a mouthful. We Ozzies hate wrapping our tongues around polysyllabic words, so it's "Clack Clack". Like Melbin, Sinny and Canbra.
Nice pix.
Hope you didn't catch anything nasty from fraternising with all those BM-Trouble-yous.
