Saturday short cruise

[Kev Murphy]

Short cruise planned...

Had a guy ring me about a new computer..decided I will go visit him tomorrow to talk over 'zackerly' what he needs. About an hour and a half travel through some nice country, so I have decided to make a day of it.

Including a detour through Coleraine and Hamilton on the return journey, it will stretch to about 250 Km.

Expecting some rain overnight, but it should clear early tomorrow.

Was a beautiful day travelling, good roads, some wriggly bits and hills, nice country to travel through.
Have to do a de-bug tomorrow as I was well and truly peppered with them on the return journey at dusk.
Its actually worse than the pic shows.


Had a couple of hours at a friends property, and took some pics.... very green around Casterton at present.
A couple of wide view composite pics of part of their property.





Computer repairs took longer than anticipated as there were 3 computers involved, hence the trip home at dusk via a different route than anticipated due to a profusion of large furry grasshoppers and bush chooks on the country roads.

another pic of bug splatter now the sun has gone down

yep, definitely the odd bug or two there

Hope the computers weren't as buggy...har har har.

I become a quivering wreck when riding at dusk. That's when those two legged speedhumps come out to play on the road. :(

In this area of the country, you can add Blinky Bills to the list of speed humps as well. Only saw two roos this trip but there were a dozen bush chooks pacing me at the side of the road at one stage.

  dozen bush chooks pacing me at the side of the road at one stage.

We had a few of those between Olary and the border over the weekend but only two beside the road but they were a non-event. A few goats between the border and silver city but nothing to write home about.

My camera does panoramic shots (max of 3 shots) as well but I've never tried it.

Both sides of my family come from around Coleraine and Penshurst areas, but I have not ridden it much

I have some panorama shots of Silverton and the lookout, so if I get time later today will put up in the other thread.
