Great write-up and pictures. Well done  :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

Great to relive that one.  It was my first FarRide.  I also got the fog on the morning out of Rocky.  Almost wiped myself out in it, but that's a tale too sobering to tell.
It's a great destination- hopefully we'll go there again sometime.
Thanks for the memories.

Thanks for that, I have just added that to my "must see" locations.

Hang glider launching.

Some think m/c riding is risky...

Just lucky enough to have been to the Eungella Chalet.

Eungella is a great location. It was my third or fourth FarRide, and the one where I nearly quit before leaving NSW due to the storms, rain and dangerous conditions. Amazing what a nice sunny day the next morning makes you forget.  Definitely a place to go to.
