So I've just realised that this is the actual 2025 National Rally - not a reunion event - which I'd not bothered to read as it wasn't relevant to me, not having attended the original Toowoomba Rally.
Might wish to make it a bit clearer?
But then, I am a bit slow >:()
Well, it's 10 years since the 2015 Toowoomba event which is now staged at the previous original Toowoomba 2015 event location.....so it's a reunion of the 10 years since this event was last on in Toowoomba at the same location but...now i'm cross eyed :fp
I was there in 2015 though :OldMan

Chris will also be there.
Helen and I are planning to attend also. Not sure of mode of transport (ST1300, car or car & caravan), accommodation will depend on mode of transport, or mode of transport may dictate form of accommodation.
.... this is not an official list I just did a list of people showing interest so far ....
Leo, thanks for keeping a track of those indicating that they're attending. I think it would be good to add partners (if this info is provided), as they say the more the merrier and I think it may encourage others, and their partners, attending.

Has anyone contacted (or will someone put their hand-up to contact) the Big4 to advise them that Terry will not be attending the NatRally? Perhaps someone could take Terry's booking and arrange for his deposit to be refunded to Joanne.
Post by: Diesel on October 25, 2024, 10:25:31 AM
I should have posted this earlier:
ATTENTION RALLY ATTENDEES:
In light of our sad loss of Terry recently, we have contacted his wife Joanne who has kindly donated Terry's cabin's deposit to the Club for anyone who would like it. Terry had paid the deposit on a 3 bed cabin, so you and your comrades will only have to come up with the balance.
MAKE SURE YOU: Tell the Big 4 caravan park that you would like the Terry Butters Cabin when you book as this is what has been arranged and they will understand what this means.
Many thanks to Jo for her kindness from all here at OzSTOC. :KissBlow

I'm after some local Toowoomba knowledge. I reckon by the time I get to Toowoomba I should change the front tyre (Motoz Tractionator GPS) because while it's more than adequate for the trip to the rally, it might not be sensible to trust it for the length of the trip. So, are there any motorcycle tyre places that can be recommended?
Thanks ... Mark
Post by: Williamson on February 11, 2025, 02:32:34 PM
Booked in from Thursday to Monday. The rally is part of a longer trip as I intend to pop up to Cooktown then nip across to Normanton followed by a run south through Cloncurry, Longreach, Noccundra Hotel, Tibooburra, Wentworth and home (all subject to weather and infrastructure damage - it may be much shorter than planned - we'll see).

I reckon by the time I get to Toowoomba I should change the front tyre (Motoz Tractionator GPS) because while it's more than adequate for the trip to the rally, it might not be sensible to trust it for the length of the trip. So, are there any motorcycle tyre places that can be recommended?
Thanks ... Mark

Booked in from Thursday to Monday. The rally is part of a longer trip as I intend to pop up to Cooktown then nip across to Normanton followed by a run south through Cloncurry, Longreach, Noccundra Hotel, Tibooburra, Wentworth and home (all subject to weather and infrastructure damage - it may be much shorter than planned - we'll see).
I'm after some local Toowoomba knowledge.

I'll be taking the V-Strom (the Himmy would be able to do it I'm sure but the V-Strom will be significantly more comfortable on the long outback roads) and won't be tackling much in the way of unsealed roads (by my calculations there's a bit between Noccundra Hotel and Tibooburra - the rest is black top).
Very much looking forward to catching up at Toowoomba.

More than competitive and do a great job
Tivoli is approx 100km east of Toowoomba just off the Ipswich bypass and the tyres are scrubbed in by the time you get back
May have to ring to make sure they have some or order some in

I seem to remember a back gate in the caravan park that makes the walk even shorter.That’s good because I think Diesel’s 3 minutes with his long legs is about 15 minutes with my short legs. I might also be huffing and puffing like a wolf looking for piggy’s house to blow down.

Chris and I have made the difficult decision to pull out of attending Toowoomba. My back is still giving me grief and I'm not sure I can manage multiple days on the road. On a positive note, I'm seeing a different and highly qualified "master" physio, who might have identified something causing my pain that MRI's and Bone Scans did not see. I was looking forward to sharing in a toast to acknowledge and celebrate the life of our friend STroppy, who is sadly missed by all of us in OzSTOC. His passing has knocked me around, and I was brought to tears at his post before the border run when he expressed the view that it might be his last.Hey Pete, sorry to hear that you won’t make it. The road to recovery is more important and I wish you both well.

Hi Guys, with a little over a week before my departure, I am wondering what the QLD and northern NSW conditions will be like with the recent storms.
Taking the inland option is your best bet.
The coast route will be any absolute shocker from the central coast upwards.
When it's finished up here it's heading down there :nahnah

As luck would have it, we overtook a Semi coming down the range who gave the horn a short beep.
As I exited Withcott, the phone rang, and it was Tding. It was him driving the Semi. :grin
We had a bit of a chat for quite a while.
The rest of the ride was mostly dry, so we started to heat up, but we were so close to home that we kept going.

This flag can be seen up to 20kms away as you travel in from the East (Brisbane/Ipswich) side and prepare to ascend the range up to Toowoomba.
The shirts and underlying colour of the logo are the infamous maroon of Queensland.
The logo for 10 years ago at Toowoomba featured the legendary Cobb and Co. stagecoach as this location was a major destination for them way back, and there is a wonderful museum showcasing some of their equipment.
Someone has pictures of the old Vs new shirts compared with each other, so please post them up here for all to see.

I really enjoyed the Rally, it's a bit like extended family get togethers - they may only happen once or every couple of years & conversations and relationships pick up where they were left off.
Planning the trip up was a good challenge & I was able to plan one that had new destinations (for me) on the route.
When Williamson posted on the Forum that he was looking to come back via the coast & seeking interest from those wanting to join th Fellowship of the Ride, that pretty much fitted with my plans. Had an enjoyable trip back with him & Nigel, sharing stories, tables, drinks & accommodation. The route down the coast took me to many places I hadn't been to before, including riding in the Big Smoke of Sydney - somewhere I'd never driven or ridden before.
Looking forward to the next one, wherever it is.
