I've just booked a cottage (I bags the queen) - for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. I guess I'm committed now 

Unfortunately, I've had to cancel my trip east... so the cottage booked is now free.

I think I've got everything over the line now. I'm almost confident in saying Phil and Kate will make it

I’ve had to ditch the idea of riding for medical reasons, flights and car hire booked.
To make it a real 10 year anniversary, I’ve registered for the World’s Greatest Shave again, and if the organisers are ok with it, would like to do my shave at the Friday night meet and greet.

Good morning Wendy, I hope you’re given approval for the Worlds Greatest Shave reunion. Can you share your WGS link so I can donate and share it on my FB page. I’m not registering this year but happy to promote your WGS event by having my head shaved.

Much appreciated young feller  , I was really struggling with which direction to take. North it is for me.

Booked in from Thursday to Monday. The rally is part of a longer trip as I intend to pop up to Cooktown then nip across to Normanton followed by a run south through Cloncurry, Longreach, Noccundra Hotel, Tibooburra, Wentworth and home (all subject to weather and infrastructure damage - it may be much shorter than planned - we'll see).
I'm after some local Toowoomba knowledge. I reckon by the time I get to Toowoomba I should change the front tyre (Motoz Tractionator GPS) because while it's more than adequate for the trip to the rally, it might not be sensible to trust it for the length of the trip. So, are there any motorcycle tyre places that can be recommended?
Thanks ... Mark

Getting tired just thinking about that on a motorcycle.

[Jdbiker]

That is a long trip. I too had plans to ride to Tibooburra and on to Cameron’s Corner in June but decided against it with back not a 100%. Have you considered carrying a spare? Are you doing it on the VStrom or Himmy? Should be an amazing ride . Hope to catch up in Toowoomba.

Cheers.

Diesel may have more knowledge on motorcycle shops.

Didn't Streak's brother run a motorcycle shop in Toowoomba?

Corrected I stand  , oh well, still in the same continent.

Thanks everyone for your replies. I had hoped to do the big lap but life has a tendency to get in the way so this is my consolation prize.
I'll be taking the V-Strom (the Himmy would be able to do it I'm sure but the V-Strom will be significantly more comfortable on the long outback roads) and won't be tackling much in the way of unsealed roads (by my calculations there's a bit between Noccundra Hotel and Tibooburra - the rest is black top).
Very much looking forward to catching up at Toowoomba.

I get Tyres at 2 wheel tyres at Tivoli near Ipswich
More than competitive and do a great job
Tivoli is approx 100km east of Toowoomba just off the Ipswich bypass and the tyres are scrubbed in by the time you get back
May have to ring to make sure they have some or order some in

[Wild Rose]

Elite motorcycle's in Toowoomba can get all tyres and charge $35 per tyre to do if you just bring the wheel in

I seem to remember a back gate in the caravan park that makes the walk even shorter.

That’s good because I think Diesel’s 3 minutes with his long legs is about 15 minutes with my short legs. I might also be huffing and puffing like a wolf looking for piggy’s house to blow down.

The back gate is no longer in use.

Bugger, back to Diesel’s 3 minutes. Talk about a first world problem. Lol

Well with my knees the way they are there will be no walking any distances from me, unless some wants to carry an extra 95kg, LOL
