With The Ginger Factory FarRide complete the task was now to head home. Now Smurfette and I were planning on a camping weekend with our friend Saltpyxis (but due to circumstances Saltpyxis couldn’t attend 🙂 ) at Mt Warning Rainforest Resort.

Of all the places in Australia I’ve been too on my motorcycle over the past 10 years, Tintaldra is my most favourite place. My haven of tranquility, where everything could go wrong in the normal world but there I have no cares or worries in the world. Out the door at 7:00am in the rain …

Ride the Snowies with friends after Christmas for a few days before going back to work for me – how could you not take up the opportunity. Ella-Jane spending her holiday with Nanny & Pa while Karl & I head away. We meet at Pheasants Nest, fuel up and head out straight down the slab. …

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 …

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 …
