Spring buds run - Oz Boxerworks

[Airbear]

I was thinking of going this way:-

Good route, Mal. We all love a good route. Could also include the Warrumbungles, via Gulargambone, for a bit of 'roo dodging, though the 'Bungles will be pretty crowded on a long weekend.

In 2009 I camped at the Tia Falls campsite, off the Oxley Highway about 40kms south-east of Walcha.



The A shows the Tia Falls Road - it is about 7kms of dirt to the campsite. A nice spot with tables and dunnies (and falls) ...

This helps. http://www.findacamp.com.au/search-camp ... 453&dis=50

That's a good site Sibbo. Native Dog Campground on the Guyra- Ebor Road sounds like an option if we choose to meet more North. http://www.findacamp.com.au/camp-site.p ... &camp=1083

The write up says- " I have camped here a number of times on my way through the area, and prefer this site over the more popular Barokee campground, due to extra space / privacy."

I like the look of Charlie's campsite too. If we have some alternatives we can vote on it closer to the event.

Any interest from the Queenslandians Buzz?

Any interest from the Queenslandians Buzz?

Met up with a few of them at the Ruptured Budgie Rally last weekend. Unfortunately there was a bit too much cheery banter going on to ask a serious question and to expect any intelligible response. Expecially after I dropped the GSPD in the sand in the middle of their camp.

I will keep you informed. I did ask Steve R (R100RS JPS) to check out the Native Dog Campground as he passed on his way home to Coffs and report back. I'm not sure if he will have remembered I asked him though.

Pictures. C'mon Gary, we need pictures. Not much riding going on down here. Max temp today is 13C.
Plenty of time to fill until Spring, and a little thread drift would do no harm.
Especially if it involves motorcycles and rallies and such.

Speaking of which, it is only couple of weeks till the Alpine Rally - Friday June 7 to Monday June 10 - at Yarrangobilly this year. I'm already packing. I know Jeff's going, and Pete. And the Beechworth and Benalla mobs are bound to be there. I wonder who else might be thinking of going?

Me am thinking. Provided conditions are crisp, rather than soggy, I will be there.

That's great Mal.
Look on the bright side, if things start soggy they will sure as hell end up crisp.

I only took a few pics on Sunday morning. The photograph(er) was a little out of focus



Hard Luck Award Royal Enfield with rare Aussie made V-Twin Carberry engine. Fuel line came off and ...

An excellent rally put on by the MotoGuzzi Club Queensland (20th Anniversary)

FUCK!!! That Carberry just melted !! I like those things ...

apart from that good photos Gary.

[Airbear]

Beemer goodness and a Carberry tragedy. Should we all be carrying fire extinguishers? It would be horrible to watch one's pride and joy going up in flames. A little Dry Powder extinguisher used in the first 15 seconds could have saved that machine.

Looks like a great spot, and yer've gotta love the accommodations. That single club lounge looks like it would fit me pretty well. Thanks Gary.

Egads! What a waste of a classy machine.

I have had a campsite recommendation from someone local to the area.
Platypus Flats in Cathedral NP. River, BBQ, not too popular, and no fees.
