Thanks to our Ozstoc hosts
« on: June 19, 2013, 09:29:42 PM »
Ros (STSnuggler) and I just passed through Townsville on our RoundOz circuit (70 days and 17,226 Km down) and were delighted to be hosted for the night by Sabie (and Mrs Sabie who cooked us a cracker of a lasagne). We had a wonderful night and, as a bonus, met up with Tackleberry in the morning with he and Sabie running (err I mean escorting) us out of town and on our way south. Here is a little YouTube video I took of our escort.
Thanks guys, it was great to meet you and we hope we can return the favour some time.
Cheers
Dick B and STSnuggler

They wouldn't let him bring the FJR home (which is just as well!!)

I'm loving reading about your adventure, and the dream of having OzSTOC contacts and friends all around Australia seems to be coming true.

Hi Pete
Our route and program has prevented us from meeting Ozstocers everywhere we have been but our network is certainly growing. It has been fantastic.
Cheers Dick B and Ros :rd13

The FJR was parked at home Dick. It comes home everyday. 

The reason I didn't have it was this was the first day riding MY bike for some time, so I was just enjoying the company for the day. 

Great to meet you both Dick & Ros.  Watch out for that post I will put up in August that we discussed.
