Shiney's trip to Inverell 2014
« on: September 21, 2014, 11:19:19 PM »
I worked a 12 hour night shift with Gaz on Friday. We finished at 06:00 and headed off.

We stopped at the Caltex in Warrick for fuel and a feed



Then continued along to Tenterfield whe we stopped for a short break at another Caltex so Gaz could fuel up again.

After that we shot through to Inverell, grabbed some brews and stopped at the caravan park.
We met up with Grumpy and after a bit of a chat the others began to arrive.

   






The day continued into the night and I had fun chatting to everyone, old members and new.
We got a nice dinner, had a few drinks and then finally I went to bed around 22:00 (I needed some sleep after being awake for over 30 hours :eek)







This little Beastie was even hanging around "like a tiger"








Then it was morning.
We had a great brekkie and a bit more carry on.
My phone camera was feeling a bit "shiney" this morning :fp (or as Gadget would say "I suspect Shiney finger Prints on the lens")
















Anyhoo, everyone packed up and headed off so Gaz and I headed for our homes, just stopping for fuel and a few photo ops.

Including this AWESOME Dalek :-++ :-++ :-++








It even has an amazing back story :eek




At the NSW/QLD border



In front of a BIG fake train



With a dinosaur



And finally with a BIG apple






Anyway that was the overnighter for me.
As always it was a blast to get get out for a ride and to spend time with the awesome people that make up the membership of OzSTOC :thumbsup

I also took some amateur video which will be posted later.

Cheers
Shiney
