Well the time has come to depart Queensland to return to Adelaide after 13 years living here in the heat and the sweat!!. Tomorrow morning we will be leaving Ipswich and will spend the next 6 days taking a slow drive down south in a 6-birth motor-home rented from Brisbane with my lovely wife, a dog, a cat and three budgies. Following my cancer brain surgery, which by the way was done just a few days short of 12 months ago, it was decided that returning home to Adelaide, with all the family members who live there, made far more sense than my poor missus having to look after me on her own up here. And as I have retired from work permanently (and got my Superannuation pay-out thank you!!) it made little or no sense for us to have to remain here. My wife has had her job contract requirements modified so she can do it wherever she happens to be, so Adelaide makes a highly justifiable destination.
I must say that I truly appreciate the level of interest which has become most obvious in the Club during the last year and I am truly hoping to be able to get another bike in the very near future and join in the rides, out of Adelaide this time.
One thing that sort of irritates me is that whilst I lived in QLD all the annual rallies were located in the South, but now that I am moving to SA the next Rally has been put down for QUEENSLAND!!!!!!!, Bloody typical! Oh well, an excuse for a decent length ride I suppose.
Cheers guys and I'll take some pics on the way home and will post them if there is a level of interest for them.
