Bodø too.

A YES from Julie and me (but I haven't confirmed it with the boss yet

)

Saint Nicola?

It looks like we are now not available. My two sisters in Tasmania have decided that weekend is the ideal time for their once in a decade visit. Given the accommodation they can provide for a cheapskate motorcyclist I'm not inclined to upset the applecart (and I'm looking forward to spending time with them).

Count me in

Dragonstaff · « **Reply #9 on:** July 23, 2021, 08:30:25 PM »

I will probably make this one, even if I have to bring the car because the 30ks of dirt between me and the black stuff is unrideable.

Bodø · « **Reply #10 on:** July 23, 2021, 08:40:32 PM »

I thought you were in Loxton which is straight up the Stott Highway. I'm now intrigued as too where this 30km of dirt is.

Dragonstaff · « **Reply #11 on:** July 23, 2021, 10:12:35 PM »

I am actually in a small town 35 or so ks out of Loxton towards the Victorian border. The dirt is between me and Loxton.

It is easier to just say 'Loxton', because people know where that is.

We can now play "Where does Dragonstaff live?" My guess is Taplan.

Bodø · « **Reply #13 on:** July 24, 2021, 08:41:02 AM »

I looked at the map and thought the same.

Got it in one. The only other real option is Taldra, but that is a lot closer to the Bitumen.

Bodø · « **Reply #15 on:** July 24, 2021, 08:59:45 AM »

Is there anything to see in Taplan? Asking for a friend.

Do ten houses count? And a CFS station?

We do get quite a lot of chook chasers come through on the weekends when the weather is good, heading into Murray-Sunset National Park across the border.

Bodø · « **Reply #17 on:** July 24, 2021, 10:09:39 AM »

A CFS station might do it for me them. How good is the gravel?

When I lived in Cairns a chook chaser was a hiace 14 seater bus because they almost ran over chickens on the Toyota adverts that were on tv at the time. I know it doesn't mean that here, but forgotten what it does mean here.

Different from a Sofa chaser

Either (sort of) good or dreadful. It all depends on how long it has been since the grader went through. They are actually in the process of sealing it because the road trains are destroying it, so it shouldn't be a problem by the end of the year. Then it will be nice bit of road for a bike.

Bodø · « **Reply #20 on:** July 24, 2021, 10:53:30 AM »

It's in my diary.

StinkyPete · « **Reply #21 on:** July 24, 2021, 03:10:17 PM »

Back on track after an interesting diversion into our eastern border region

We sure hope that lockdowns wont keep us from this one.

17 days to go, hopefully border restrictions between SA and Vic will be lifted by then.
