Title: A ST1300 on a dirt road with cows, a cave, and bats!
Post by: Diesel on January 16, 2013, 08:29:11 AM

Took this little vid on my way past Mt Perry in the Northern Burnett Shire of Qld. Ended up at the Bucca Hotel (not Nambucca) for the night and had a great time there with the owners and some locals.        :thumbsup


Awesome roads to get to there as well.


This vid features the Boolboonda Rail Tunnel - longest unsupported tunnel in Qld.

Note to self don't come back as a bat in your next life and live near Diesel.

Luckily the bats didn't get their wings melted with all that candle power.

Cheers

Cheers. I have a quick vid to publish of the fantastic road leading in to this place - it would seem, a motorcyclist's "Road to Mandalay"

Thanks for sharing a great video, and you certainly seem to have got a handle on the Coutour Roam now.    Where was it mounted for that sequence, which was also a good illustration of the penetration of your new light setup.

Great sequence Diesel.  I've snatched a copy for my collection.  I know where the tunnel is, just got to get there.  Maybe on the way to Biloela?

Thanks Gents. I was planning a similar route through there at that time and offer up a posse possie (read possie pozzy) to anyone interested. We'll see as the date gets closer.

Thanks for the nice remarks.

Cheers, Diesel

I enjoy the tunnel a bit as it is only an hour from Bundaberg and one of our interesting bits of rides in this area. We are planning a ride to Mt Perry next month.

Google is a bit vague on the tunnel location but I'm sure Heather would not like to get that close to bats.........lol
