Happy first day of Spring, Oz Boxerworkers.

And we have a quorum for the Oz Boxerworks Southeast Division AGM and Tech Session @ Dargo River campsite - 24 - 25 September. If we get a few more we can get really technical.

I'm in for that weekend.
Or any other.

Looking forward to removing the great divide between some of us Oz Boxerworkers.

A ride to the coast next? I'm in. Or UpNorth? I'm in.

A quorum for the 25th? Good to hear it.
3 weeks to go. I have to whip up some racks for my el-cheapo saddle bags.

The sky is still wringing itself out. Another 3 inches of rain expected tomorra.
El Nino come back, all is forgiven!
Just for a couple a months OK.

Just in case it's a considered option for anyone, best to check to see if the Suggan Buggan road is open yet.
This way July...

That looks like the road from Barry Way to Mckillop's bridge.
I reckon they would have fixed it by now as it's a vital link road.

Big rains forecast in the next few days too, so repairs might be further delayed.
If the weather is shitful on the 25th, should we think of an alternative destination north of the Divide. Talbingo maybe??

Here's a spot on the King river worth a mention.
We should go there sometime. Nice swimming hole there when the river is at summer levels (and temps!)

About 5 k's from Cheshunt, near Whitifeld.

There's no shitter tho.
But that doesn't bother me, and you blokes can dig a hole.

There's a pub with oo la la food and beer about ten k's away for those who want to pay to much for food. Or need to take a dump real bad and didn't bring a shovel. Or think shittin' in the wilderness is obscene.
There's a take away about five k's away at Cheshunt with quality meats, breads, cheeses, smallgoods etc.
Bloody good hamburgers too, I had one there today as a matter of fact.
