The Inaugural IBA Australian Parkes Muster 2016 – qualifying ride for this momentous event is a SS1600. Can I do another one, in the middle of winter, is a debate that I lost with myself. After my last one in April which could’ve ended quite differently I decided that I would be of more assistance …

Oh no! It’s our last day of holidays today and time to head home. But not before having a lovely home cooked breakfast with a lovely view! Packed up and ready to go, this time I put the camera round my neck so I can take pics along the way. Sunshine and lollipops today folks …

Had a terrible nights sleep 🙂 Karl’s snoring or as he likes to refer to it as “pussy purring” was more like a damn lion roaring all night. Anyhoos, up for breaky in the main lodge with a lovely view of the lake….you couldn’t ask for a better start. What to do today??? First world …

It’s so easy to get used to sleeping in, eyes open, morning Sweety…ahhh it’s 8am….noice! Stepping back in time again in the dining room for breakfast at The Riversleigh. The old time dining music in the background with the settings, you could close your eyes and pretend you’re back in the 30’s dressed to the …

Yawn, yawn!! Hi Sweety, is it time to get up, already. What a wonderful nights sleep, in a comfy bed that Karls feet don’t hang out the bottom of. Fluffy pillows and plush doonas and throws….feeling like royalty. Down to the dining room (said in a posh voice, please) for a lovely breakfast before going …

A reasonable nights sleep but woke to the sounds of rain splatting on the roof top. Look outside the door and…. Oh well, lucky we are on holidays. There was no letting up, each time you’d look out the door, it just bucketed 🙁 Not even the dogs were happy, they sat most of the …

Slept like a babe!! Karl, yeah not so much (he never sleeps well on the first night, but you’d never know by his snoring…ooops did I say that!). Woke up with a sore throat and a blocked nose…noooooooo! Not the way to start a holiday. Drugs – check and we get started on our day. …

Its 9:30 before we leave home, partly cos we had a sleep in but mainly because we were hoping the rain would stop….ha! Rained all the way out of Sydney, I was soaked…my gear is no longer waterproof 🙁 Fuel at Pheasants Nest and Karl takes a turn off at Marulan that takes us through …

I’m going for …
