I have volunteered to be Ride coordinator for NSW and to keep the RTE threads up to date, try to come up with a few RTEs for the year, carry some OzSTOC merchandise and help out where I can.

I will also do some mid week options for shift workers.

So OzSTOCers:

What ideas have you got?
Where would you like to go, that you haven't been before?
Where would you like to return to?
What over nighters do you think could be interesting/entertaining?

Looking forward to hearing some ideas.

Thanks

Hill End RTE was brilliant

But I don't care what you say, the B&B was haunted

The Royal NP between Sydney & Wollongong was great if there is a cafe in that area

Parker's pies at Rutherglen is a nice spot although just over the border
Also good to stock up on the bulk ports and muscat just take a 5 litre plastic container

There is a couple of coffee STops at the southern end as you head towards the Gong, and I often go for a ride thru the National park,even in the dead of night when I cant sleep. no traffic or boy racers out then

Amateur - 5 litre now 25 litre plastic container would be more suitable

Last time down there got 25 litres white port for $3 a litre - Great buy and great drop

The cafe a Scarborough right on the water is a ripper.

I did a nice ride down there 6 weeks ago down through the National Park out to Bundeena along the coastt to Wollongong up Maquarie Pass down Kangaroo Valley over Cambewarra to Berry Stayed in some nice cabins at Geroa. Back through Jamberoo Valley to Robertson, Bowral home along the freeway to the Hunter Valley.

A couple of nice days riding except for the Sydney bit.

When we lived in Sydney we often went to the Royal National Park for a family drive and would stop here for a Morning Tea or Lunch stop. Don;t know if it still operates as a cafe, but if it is its worth it for the visiting wildlife.

The boat hire there was also quite good fun too. Took the wife and kids for a pleasant and very relaxing row boat ride there.

Your States RTE Co-Ordinators have their planning underway for next years OzSTOC RTE calendar

.....if you have a recommendation for a RTE that encompasses a great ride with a top notch destination post your ideas and experiences of a suitable location here for them to consider.

How about here Abe ?

We haven't been to this cafe or South West Rocks for years, but looks very nice.

That looks like a great spot

RubenCan · « **Reply #11 on:** October 04, 2014, 10:44:05 AM »

Pockey, I love it. 471km and 6hrs from my place. Bit of a stretch for me but id give it ago.

Pocket STocker · « **Reply #12 on:** October 04, 2014, 11:26:17 AM »

Ok it's on, we leave in 10 mins

You're such a tease.

Residing in Kempsey, I know the area only too well.
Was there yesterday with friends from Sunshine Coast - they were astounded at the scenery of the area, the service at the Kiosk with views across trial Bay to South West Rocks and beyond to Yarrahapinni Mountain and north towards Stuarts Point, Grassy Heads and Nambucca Heads.
Viewing from the verandah dining area at the Kiosk, you look west across Trial Bay which is one of the few beaches on the east coast of Australia which face west.
Take your time, smell the roses and tour the Historic Trial Bay Gaol - about two (2) hours for a minimal fee ($7 Pension)
Let me know and I may be able to meet up at BP Clybucca Service Station.

Malacoota is a nice ride and can be an overnighter . . For the SE New South Welschman and NE Victorians?

Gadget · « **Reply #16 on:** October 04, 2014, 08:05:36 PM »

Pockey/Abe,

I thought South West Rocks would make a great overnighter for SE Qld/NSW.

Grumpy · « **Reply #17 on:** January 02, 2015, 03:42:25 PM »

Seems like all the rides keep getting closer to the coast. We have some great roads and fantastic people out here west of the Great Divide you know. Not to mention quite a few ST's as well. Found a new ST owner in Dubbo at the Ulysses toy run. Gave them a card but havent seen them on as yet.

Looking at the calendar, there doesn't seem to be anything mid year for xmas midyear.

My suggestion is an overnighter to Gulargambone NSW ( halfway between Gilgandra and Coonamble ) on June 27/28 as a mid year xmas. Its not as cold here as Uralla and the days are balmy at that time of year. There is a beautiful caravan park here with 6 cabins available ( most sleep at least 3 ) and very nice camping sites. We have options for Sat night meals/Sun morning breakfast, either catered by the caravan park or by the local Lions Club.

There are a few relaxing rides in the area, the Warrumbungle national park is only 40 or so kms away, Dubbo zoo is 120kms away and there are any number of great country rides/pubs to visit.

I have floated the idea with the caravan park and they are more than happy to see as many OzSTocers as we can muster.

Anyway, there's my idea/suggestion. I will see what the response is like and liaise with Abe to see if we can get it going.

I'd be in that one John.

ST2UP · « **Reply #19 on:** January 02, 2015, 07:11:38 PM »

Sounds a great plan John, I know you were keen when we spoke about this at Uralla.

PM me all the details and I'll make up a "topic" page for the forum.

saaz · « **Reply #24 on:** January 03, 2015, 10:43:00 AM »

I think this one is a definite goer, as we need more events out that way. Very good rides into the area from all over.
