Australian FJ Anniversary Rally; March 8, 2014

[Harvy]

SO I think me, Stu, Ray and Glen will be the last to leave SE Qld......... I'm heading off at 4:30am, to meet Stu, Ray and  Glen at Yatala BP at 5:30........ Then on to Woodburn to meet Greame at around 8am NSW time, and then Port Macquarie around Midday to have Bean join us and wave hooray to Klavdy as he heads home (he heads back to Perth on Sunday). and we finish up the 1000Km day in Woollongong some time tomorrow evening.
Leaving the Gong early Friday morning to meet Baldy and Karen, Randy and Chandra for the final run into Jindabyne.

We had a couple of issues with Randys bike yesterday, but a few parts out of my shed seems to have fixed it.
They pulled out of Brisbane this morning and will probably get to Newcastle some time this evening.

Rover and CanDMan were in Grafton at lunchtime today and are continuing to the south - not sure where they will end up this evening.

Not heard from the General and Deena for a day or 2 - probably means that all is well with them.

I think Darran and co took of with a trailer a couple of days ago too.

I am extremely pissed and jealous that I couldn't go to the rally with the QLD mob. Would've been great to meet some more members and put faces to names, plus ride some of the great roads around the Snowy Region. Gee work sux at times. Anyway, everyone have a good time and don't forget to post some pics pics pics.

Back in Melbourne after two fantastic weeks in Tassie.
We're leaving tomorrow for two lazy days to Jindabyne - stopping off for a quick look up Mt Buffalo on the way - there's a pic I need of the bike at the top!
Looking forward to seeing you all on Friday.

There are some great routes from Melbourne to Jindabyne, have you had the benefit of local knowledge or are you following your nose?

Boorowa Thursday nite for me, Jyndabine via Gundagai. Time permitting might have a sneaky look a bit further south....

[X-Ray]

Time for me to go to feckin bed, got to be up nice and early. Was flying back in the plane from Melbourne today, looked out over the countryside sort of close to where we will be going, looks nice, (from 38000 feet anyway,  ). Will be good to catch up with everyone, will have to pack extra money for drinks, 

[Arnie]

Leaving here at a civilized time (9am) for a gentle 2 day ride up to Jindy with Trev.
See youse all there.  I'll keep an eye out for Pevers and his ambo on the way.

Stayed on tha waters edge of Lake Macquarie Monday & Tuesday night incl Sauna & Pool....ahhhhhh, perfect weather as arranged, though I did decide to skirt west of Sydney when I seen some green in the very black clouds in the South East.

Very impressed with the arranged greenery into Canberra too. I love sponging on relos...and they all seem ta like Aussie red wine!

Just sms`d Darran ta make sure he get`s outa bed!

I take my hat off to Chandra doing those kilometres on a 250. I`ve got some very old coffee just for her special, in Jindy! We`ll easily get rid of her old man with some sort of mechanical decoy, then onto the finer points real Aussie culture.

Just got a text back from Darran confirming I got`im outa bed (Dunno where he`d be if I didn`t hold his hand!)

No one is up in this Capital of politics home!.... oh accept for another relo ....Grandfather Penfold is up and about...I guess I better check if he`s okay! 

[megsy]

Better pack the wets, spoke to soon, storms about Newcastle 
Last night & still a tad cloudy.
Was a very good boy, control on the red wine last night,
Nice clear head today ready for a bit of a drive today, should
Hit Jindy around 4.00pm

Having a quick breaky stop in Warick and back on the road
Safe travels all
