Well that was a productive day, 935 kms on the saddle heading the long way to Canberra, taking 3 days to head down to Wodonga via the Putty road and Mt Panarama, first stop today Armidale, now it’s time for a beer

Two more sleeps
Robyn and I headed off from Toowoomba in the cage today with the OzSTOC shop and Rally shirts
No way I could have gone on the bike but all good as I have my better half with me
Robyn doesn't do the bike anymore. Probably the sensible one
We are driving to Tamworth for tonight then Bathurst before arriving in Sutton on Friday arvo
See you all there :hatwave

When are you leaving Wodonga? I'm hoping to leave around 1:30-2pm Friday
Post by: maninblack_30 on March 05, 2026, 05:27:18 PM
Arrived this afternoon at 5:15pm after having two thirds of the trip in rain , went through downpour after downpour until just south of Gundagai then it turned out hot , so my cabin is a drying room .
You made it Phil! Glad you did, excellent! It's been Soooo humid around here (Wodonga) with all the rain and 30+ days, I'm looking at leaving tomorrow around 1:30-2pm and taking my time, see everyone over the weekend :-)

Any feedback on the M7 around Sydney Biggles? Cost for MC?
Not the M7, but Nigel, Shillas & I rode around Sydney on the way south from Toowomba last year, the route was someting like this.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/bRnNJjQmBxKjLWVeA
The expressway/freeway/tollway was a vastly significant improvement on previous ride from the north to the southeast suburbs, very good road, a lot of trafffic but still quick, very hot in a couple of the tunnels, clean air though.
A summary of the tolls are attached. Not cheap, but at $27.20, well worth it.
In November 2024, we planned to take the same route with the caravan. Heard on a ABC report a couple of mornings prior that the car and caravan charge was around $63.00. Further reports that rain was forecast along the south coast for the week, we changed plans, went inland.
