Yeah we`ve nearly booked out the pub already......luckily we got a spare pub around the corner, a chalet and camping grounds over tha Road.

With Aussie dollars nearly a 30% discount, I reckon it`s time for those upover to put us on your bucket list. In fact if ya Leave an RPM Shock with us, your air fares are free!

Even ya bucket can be handy over here:-

As the Snowline is now booked out, where are the stragglers booking in too ?

Any recommendations within crawling distance ?

No worries mate, just about finalised a cosey bed for you and more (a lot more me thinks) just next door to the Snowline.

Meanwhile, it`d be good to get an idea of numbers for a wine tour. Maybe on the Friday or mainly for the ladies on the Saturday which will include their fav sport of trinket shopping, specialised coffee haunts and of course a winery or three. We have access to a 12 seater bus via the pub and have larger coach available if needed.
Some may prefer to PM me on their wishes, but here`s a little taste of our sleepy abode.....

Doug, while this is a great bit of road, there are in my opinion, far better ones in that area. The Mitta Mitta road is the best I've ever ridden on.  Planning to do both for the March Rally! Make sure you have good tyres for the Rally Ride. Your mind will spin when you see how many corners there are. :wacko1:
