Short cruise planned...
Had a guy ring me about a new computer..decided I will go visit him tomorrow to talk over 'zackerly' what he needs. About an hour and a half travel through some nice country, so I have decided to make a day of it.
Including a detour through Coleraine and Hamilton on the return journey, it will stretch to about 250 Km.
Expecting some rain overnight, but it should clear early tomorrow.

Was a beautiful day travelling, good roads, some wriggly bits and hills, nice country to travel through.
Have to do a de-bug tomorrow as I was well and truly peppered with them on the return journey at dusk.
Its actually worse than the pic shows.

Had a couple of hours at a friends property, and took some pics.... very green around Casterton at present.
A couple of wide view composite pics of part of their property.

Computer repairs took longer than anticipated as there were 3 computers involved, hence the trip home at dusk via a different route than anticipated due to a profusion of large furry grasshoppers and bush chooks on the country roads.

yep, definitely the odd bug or two there
-
Hope the computers weren't as buggy...har har har.
I become a quivering wreck when riding at dusk. That's when those two legged speedhumps come out to play on the road. :(
-
In this area of the country, you can add Blinky Bills to the list of speed humps as well. Only saw two roos this trip but there were a dozen bush chooks pacing me at the side of the road at one stage.

We had a few of those between Olary and the border over the weekend but only two beside the road but they were a non-event. A few goats between the border and silver city but nothing to write home about.
My camera does panoramic shots (max of 3 shots) as well but I've never tried it.

Both sides of my family come from around Coleraine and Penshurst areas, but I have not ridden it much
I have some panorama shots of Silverton and the lookout, so if I get time later today will put up in the other thread.
