Australian FJ Rally 19th March 2016.

Due to some rooms having been previously booked (pushbike riders) at the above venue, it has been decided to change to another location. The new venue offers a lot more of our required facilities including having drinks, meals (including breakfast) in house. A group booking deal is also currently being discussed. Note also the new venue is in Harrretville not Bright. snowlinehotel.com.au
The date for the Rally is still the weekend of the 19th of March. I apologise if this has inconvenienced anyone but please be asured this will be a great venue and well worth attending. Regards, Pete.

Great to hear from you Glen, looking forward to catching up with you and Nicky. Yes at this time, we have a block booking for those days. I'll be doing a ride in those parts second week of November. Never been there before, so I'm really looking forward to it. Cheers, Pete.

Nicky and I are locked and loaded (booked) Looking forward to it - (an escape clause exists in the fine print if my son's cricket team relives its success from this year...).

I will write this into the rally section soon.

Pete do people ring and book lodgings under FJ rally to get a room.?

Cheers.

Whaa?? You're leaving us?

Tony Mac · August 19, 2015, 01:47:53 AM

Hi Pete, check for any Road Works while your out and about. I'll need to know whether to wash my Bike or not.
If I can get Friday arvo off I'll be there for Friday and Saturday nights.
Arnie, will I bring the Ear Plugs or will you?

G'day Tony, you're a roadworks magnet. I'll make sure that there's some deep ruts prepared for you before you get there.
It will be great to catch up with you. Might even try and meet you when we do our November ride. Should be returning via Lakes Entrance around Tuesday 17th.
Regards, Pete.

The temptation of the roads & tracks of Europe plus of course decent paying work I'm afraid.
Plus I don't think I can really afford to retire here anymore and I'll be buggered if I'm going to work past 65.
I've been considering it for a few years and if I don't do it know I never will.
Being a pom most of family is back there............

Got my bed booked and can`t get over how great this venue is!

Not only bike parking, (incl the usual Saturdee studio pic area!

), our own dining area (with cosey fireplace), fantastic meal reviews, and even a camping area with cabins, across the road....but their own bus to take our ladies (+?) to the Vineyards if they wish, (all 20 wineries, with my favourite Browne Bros just down the road) or the trendiest country town of Bright just 20 mins away!...there`s even a blueberry farm around tha corner, but more importantly the Pub has a river on both sides that`s full of trout and a guarantee of a catch each time you visit their secret section....and and the pub will cook it for ya!

There`s only 20 rooms and you can get your deposit back if you cancel with more than 2 weeks notice.....Please let Chrissie know if you are/or plan to share....more importantly, whoever your sharing with, make sure they haven`t booked a room for you already!
....At less than $60 a head, It`s an absolute bargain and you really should book NOW! Ph 03 57592524...it`s that easy!
(Lots of great reviews, even the bad ones sound like our kind of home: http://www.tripadvisor.com.au/Hotel_Review-g552179-d1773132-Reviews-Harrietville_Snowline_Hotel-Harrietville_Victoria.html)

Note: The ducati Mafia loved our raffles that much they`re biting at the bit to know when/where it`s on again, so get in now.....I already know of one FJ replica hire & fly in/fly out booking thru Jetstar !

SO BOOK NOW MATES! 03 57592524

All this AND thee best riding/touring roads in all Australia!

I will probably be a lone ranger for this event if someone would like to share a room. I haven't booked yet.

Sounds good Doug. How many nights are the S E Qld and NThn NSW crew planning on staying.? I'm going to take a couple more days this time either side of the weekend as the ride to/from Jindabyne last year was a little rushed for my liking, want to stop and look at the scenery ths time.

I will probably book in Fri-Sat night and maybe Sun depending on the package tour itinerary

Just booked a room for 4 anxious FJ Rally attendees. According to Chrissie, it was the last of the larger size rooms. Get in quick to choose the best of the rest.
Ray, we may take a day or two to ride home. You're welcome to tag along if you desire.
Cheers, Pete.
