Looking for an overnight ride with the wife. Destination couple of hours from Townsville. North, South, West
Not really about the ride. Just want to get away with the Missus and spend a night at pub style accom that is trusted with parking for the pride and joy.
Regards Russ
Forrest beach? Ingham area, looks OK so far.
So, Forrest beach - booked out for a wedding.
Hidden Valley Cabins. Good ride to get there, bit pricey as all the cheap cabins are taken.
Ravenswood. Looks like the go. Mingla pub for a mid way stop.
Let you know how it goes.
So went to Ravenswood last night. Got there about 4.30 few rums on the way at the Mingla Pub. Great feed of Roast n Vegies. Awsome company with the publican, most of his family were also there last night. Stayed at the Railway hotel. $80 for a room for the night. Parked bike out back for piece of mind, Not that you need it out there but they were more than accomodating. Went for a stroll up to the Mine (gold Mine) for a look and then scooted home this morning. Nice and short trip to keep the misus happy and well worth the effort.
For the single blokes there was a pair of sweedish backpackers behind the bar that were 'pleasing to the eye'
Recommend the Railway Pub in Ravenswood for a Saturday night getaway.
The other pub in Ravenswood, The Imperial Hotel, is supposedly haunted. The White Blow, a large quartz outcrop is just a few k's out of Ravenswood and is worth a look. http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2009/12/01/2758457.htm http://www.panoramio.com/user/103304/tags/White%20Blow%20Ravenswood%20Qld%20Australia
