I'm off tomorrow morning around 7:00 to 7:30 and I'll be in Yeppoon Friday arvo so I'll be waiting for everyone to turn up Saturday. I'm also spending Sunday night at Yeppoon, reckon I might do some sightseeing Sunday since I haven't been there before.

While you are in the area, I can recommend a visit to the Singing Ship Memorial particularly if it is a breezy day, and it usually is there. A really clever sculpture. (apparently it had to be detuned because it was too loud for the locals)

Thanks for the tip Gadget - worth a lookee.

I must be going soft in my old age...

I have put a sleeping bag inside a sleeping bag inside my swag, AND packed some trakkie daks, top, heated vest, and my OzSTOC jacket!

Sounds like I'm going on OzSTOC's first ever Antarctic RTE!

So don't think I've put on any weight when you see me - it'll just be the 'princess' layers.

Cheers, Diesel

Looking at an overnight low of 16° for saturday night Diesel.

Better pack an extra blanky

Lol - a fair bit better than what I just heard from a mate in Canberra - can't even TYPE the language used to describe the current 5*C at midday and blowin' like a hatfull !

Adding a few cans of spiced rum with bugger all sleep after last night's shift = partying like i'm 99

Early to bed for moi

Yea, like that happened! . . .

I followed you a fair way today, I eventually peeled off to stay in Maryborough for the night.

I seem to recall following you a fair bit too.
After catching up with the central qld contingent coming into Rocky then joining them for Breakfast at the coffee club, the last thing i expected to see upon departing was you doing a turn left at the roundabout with the other 500 harley eeejits.I blame the foggy mists of last nights late night caravan park entertainment for the confusion. At home now with another soothing spiced rum

Well did we all have a good time......don't leave us hang'in

Cerebral Knievel · « **Reply #115 on:** June 23, 2014, 09:46:36 AM »

A very good time was had by all.Barry,Saaz & Diesel took photo's at the caravan park & the pub.
I'm not sure i want to see any of those actually

My memory of late saturday night is hazy at best.
I recall being kept notably entertained by Bikebear STroppy Greencan & the usual suspects.
Ride report may follow after more panadol & another lie down.

Diesel · « **Reply #116 on:** June 23, 2014, 02:58:53 PM »

Am currently working on a ride report, but here is a few teaser photos from one of the great RTEs ...

Looks like this could become the Inverell of the North.

Cheers, Diesel

In Bowen tonight. Couldn't believe the fog this morning leaving Yeppoon, could barely see 50m ahead it was so thick. Didn't get clear until about 70kms north of Rocky. Was also quite cold so I had the winter gloves until I reached Carmila.

It seems to be

Inverell one year and Yeppon the next
