I stopped here on the way to the Murray Bridge last saturday.  Didn't see any for sale signs, but did chuckle at the Chucka Bend street name.  To be honest, I didn't even think of it as an RTE venue, but it ticks all the boxes.

Not likely to be able to make this one. The current plan is to be touring on the bike somewhere in the Vic high country with a couple of mates.

I should be good for this too, but they have just posted this on their facebook page?  I think we are a curse.

Did think of the Walker Flat Café, but admit that Swan Reach does sort of suit me on my quest of knocking off another river ferry on the wing.  It's done Walker Flat.

The Bowhill store advertised for waiting staff this morning so maybe they'll be open soon.  By the way, how did italy do in World Cup qualifying this morning?  Asking for a friend.

At this stage it's still Bowhill (as far as I know).  I'll call them wednesday to confirm.

I did contact the Bowhill general store who advised me that whilst they were open this weekend there will be a wakeboarding competition in town and they expect to be chokkas, so I decided to leave that venue for another day.  I then contacted the Walker Flat Café and put in a booking for six, usual time of 1230.

5080 Angas Valley Rd, Walker Flat SA 5238

I'd edit the top post but I don't have the permissions to do that.

Any chance of two latecomers joining in - Mr and Mrs TouriSTs? We will be on a chain drive so would park well away from any group photos.

We don't discriminate on what bike you ride and there may not be that many ST's anyway.

Although if it's a Hardly, you may attract some comment.  :crackup

 Any chance anyone coming to walker flat might have an ST1100 indicator relay mitsuba part# fr-3303. They seem to be common to some 90's model Honda's.
