Hello - This is the 1st major post I've attempted and the 1st with pictures (I hope).
14 & 15 April 2012 a South East Queensland airhead group did our annual overnighter to the Hivesville Pub (near Kingaroy)
http://www.gdaypubs.com.au/QLD/hivesville.html
Did we miss a turn?
Lunch stop - Maidenwell Pub
Regroup at the Bunya Mountains
Hivesville Hotel (Sunday morning) Sorry no photos of Saturday night festivities!
Stopped at Goomeri on the way home for some cheese - Wensleydale?
And a milk shake
Next ride on the agenda - Ruptured Budgie Rally
http://www.motoguzziclubqld.org/Our%20Rally.htm
Will it be as Cold as last year?
Hope you enjoy the post.

Thanks Buzz. Fine looking airheads, great pics, and good to see that the Queensland cousins know how to have a good time.
So, how was the Wensleydale? Wallace and Gromit are my heroes and I've always wanted to try some Wensleydale cheese.

I must have dropped off the radar with the Q'land airheads, they quit sending me emails. I did the ruptured budgie last year and it was a well organized gathering. It was cold, but not like Talbingo.

Thanks for the replies Guys.
Airbear - Unfortunately I didn't buy any Wensleydale. I think I saw some there though.
The Ruptured Budgie rally is a good rally. It is one of the few 'original' type rallies left in the area but with the benefit of being catered. last year they had to move to a new site a bit further down stream as the floods early last year wiped out the previous site. We met up with She'llbe there last year.
She'llbe - the emails have been very quite lately. The group had a few personality issues/conflicts about a year ago and there has been a major split. It's a shame as it was a good group. Some of us are still riding together though.
There were 2 group emails sent out this morning about a R75/5 & a R90S for sale. Did you get those? If not let me know or ask Tony at '
tony@tamborine.to' to put you back on the list.

Hi Buzz,
Thanks for sharing the pics of your fine gathering... always good to see a brace of airheaders out on the prowl. (particularly love the /5, but they are a favourite of mine.)
... now, i wonder how far this budgie is from Myrniong?
Say g'day to She'llbe for us.
