     Northey,

    Last time I went through this area earlier this year it looked like this.

     
     
    Will be interesting to see what it looks like now.....

    good run weather was fine for the first day, haven't heard if the other two got back without getting wet yet, I can now recommend the 'Bug and Ox" for breakfast worth the ride just for that, good company and a good day hope to do more of it :-)

    Yep,  Saturday was a great day.

    Breakfast at the Bugg and Ox, top morning, great meal, enjoyed it so much it wasn't till about 11:30 that we finally rode out of there.

    Thanks to shadow and glen, who came along for the brekky run, enjoyed some spirited rid'n and a great catch up at brekky.

    Fitzy and I pushed on to Mckinlay and enjoyed half a dozen at the Walkabout Creek Hotel.

     

     

     
     
    We rolled out of there and set off for Kynuna, only about 80 clicks further down the road and stayed at the Blue Heeler Hotel
     
     
     
    As the sun set we were thinkin tomorrows gunna be painful
     
     
     
    So, nothin left to do except hold the bar up, as you can see it was pretty busy.
     

     
     
    Yep, Sunday pissed down, so no photos of the trip back.
    We stopped at Mckinlay for brekky and thawed out, but it rained the whole 4 hour trip home.
    Hasn't rained for months out here but we organise a ride and down it comes, where is Laurie ??
    Sorry Ubes, but we didn't stop to get photos of yer sisters van park.
