WRWR day has arrived and I’m off to Wagga Wagga to meet up for the next leg. It’s of course raining when I leave home and continues on and off all the way to Binalong. Quick stop for fuel at Pheasants Nest and then into Yass for coffee and a snack. Stopped at the usual …

If I could……
Talk to the animals……just imagine it!!! Chatting to a chimp in Chimpaneze 🙂 Wouldn’t it be great! I feel like Mrs Dr Dolittle. A day off together and after years of suggesting this, we finally make it to Taronga Zoo!!! Yippee!!! Karl just says “oh no, what have I done”….LOL Not even in the gates …

10 Years at Tintaldra
Can you believe we have been coming to this nirvana in Australia for 10 years now…..I have to almost pinch myself 🙂 Well this year I almost didn’t make it. Work got in the way of my scheduled annual leave on Friday and had me “grounded” back in Melbourne on Thursday night with the next …

FRE #54 Bermagui
WOW, the first FarRide I’ve organised and the nerves were a little high. Would the event work, would people turn up, how will I manage check-in? All good questions and as it turned out all ones I didn’t need to stress about. People turned up (on time) well most of them, the venue was better …

FRE #53 – Eden
So not qualifying for this ride either since the hand is still up the buggary but doesn’t mean that I still can’t attend. Dr gave me the go ahead to start riding but not cranking out big distances…which we agreed to disagree upon….LOL but settled for time in the saddle. Set off nice an early …

Dougall Far-Car-ing to FRE #52 Wandoan
Bwahahaha…….not really, I should’ve been riding. A bit of a set back with the hand injury means it’s still a coupla weeks before I’m hoping to be back on Dudley again….fingers crossed. Since I had booked the time off work and it was a long weekend, thought I may as well make the most of …

FRE #50 Leeton Soldiers Club
As winter approaches so does the daunting thought of early mornings, chilly mornings, mornings so cloaked by fog the mere thought has images of ancient medieval times where cloaked men themselves would lurk in the shadows of the verges waiting to emerge and stop your carriage…well your motorcycle. Alas those cloaked men are in fact …

FRE #48 Dartmouth
The first “official” ride for the year…..kicking off in a lovely part of the country in the little town / hamlet of Dartmouth. I asked Dad along for this one…nice weather in February and he hasn’t been out for a bit of adventure for a while . The planning of course had to take in …

Time to Re-charge
No you don’t just plug yourself into a power outlet. What you do is back up the bike with your camping gear and high tail it outta town….would’ve been nicer if My Sweety could’ve come with me but you can’t have everything all the time. Out at 6:30 to beat the traffic wanting to escape …
