That's probably me at least. Haven't decided which way to go, but can do that closer to the event with local knowledge and weather.
I will probably be doing the Border Village-Perth and up north and around trip in early August this year so can check things out. It may be tourist pace, it may be riding, it may be both. I will not know until I am on the road
I don't really have to be back until the tri state event at Balranald on 19 September, although there are events in late August. That's assuming family stuff does not go pear shaped in the meantime, but you can't plan for that.
Lionel, John (SAAZ) and myself will leave Canberra in time to attend the Ulysses AGM in Launceston from 29 Feb to 6 March and then be heading directly over to Perth via the Ferry of course for the Perth OZSTOC meet . . 11 to 13 March . . . Maybe come back to Canberra via Darwin, Townsville . . . Who knows . .
It'd be nice to have someone to ride back to Darwin with. I can even provide enough spare beds if you guys wanted to stay for a day or three
