Well all Teela's Flights are booked :) so she has a very relaxed flight to Melbourne for a couple of days, and then flying to Adelaide, doing the rally and the trip to Sydney with me, and then flying home direct to Toowoomba from Sydney.....

We are both really looking forward to getting away, and acting like we don't have children for two weeks!

The Rally has come together so well, we have so many great characters and people attending from all over Australia,  I want to get going now!

I won't be attending in March. Just got back from SA today in our van, with the temps pushing mid 40's. Even at night it was high 20's.
March is known for hot spells.
At least the van had AC.

Hi Malcolm,
Sorry to hear that you won't be riding over for the rally, but understand your lack of desire to ride in high temps.  While we do get some long hot spells during summer, they have normally moderated my mid March.   I hope you had a great holiday in SA.

Got a spare bed in your cabin that you're prepared to share?

Cabins are filling up, so if you have a spare bed in your cabin at Middleton that you are prepared to share, can you please post here.  It may help someone who's stuck for a bed.
Thanks

That just means you guys and girls from sunny far North Queensland and Darwin will just have to bring wamer clothing........lol

Just as well the rally wasn't over the last week as they had 40 plus temps for about 3 or 4 days down there.

I rode across to Perth in March 2007.......not a problem with the heat all the way across ........even had a foggy morning when I woke up after spending the night half way along the long straight.

That same month a few days later I was in Geraldton the day it had it's hottest day on record and made the Nullarbor feel like the middle of winter.

From BOM website ave temps for Nullabor in March are around 25 and 15 at night over previous 30 years, IMO good for riding.

I gave Vicky  a  flight to Adelaide for Christmas.  She is excited  :thumbsup  to go but not to get on the bike yet.
She has not been on the  bike for about 20years.
Happy, friendly people that may not be the best athletes are more fun than arrogant "experts".

Stinky P, I think Kym has spoken to them about accommodation, however I am holding off until I get to speak to the Qld guys this weekend on our RTE.
