Gee Pat, you've seen more of Aus than I have, but at least I'm now working on that one
Anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself over this way and hope we treated you well which I'm sure is true. It better have been.
My next major ride I'm planning is Tassie. In fact my most favourite image in the whole world just happens to be " The Map of Tassie"
I'm just not sure I'll be able to organise a riding buddy given how hard it is get all the moons aligned so I'm thinking I'll probably end up going by myself. In fact I really enjoy doing my own thing as I've been riding up to Queensland twice a year by myself for a few years now and have found the inland country people are salt of the earth folk where I never feet out of place or isolated. I guess by myself I'm not looked as a threat and in fact many times I've found it hard to get going again after stopping at milk bars for coffee etc.
I'm with you on the xxxx thing too. Perhaps it's an acquired taste but after living in Toowoomba for 6 yrs during my Army days, I still needed more acquiring time.
Btw, my son was recently posted to Townsville at the Army Barracks and I'm thinking besides riding up to north of Brisbane for my daughter's engagement party in January, I might just keep heading north after it to see him up there before he's deployed to Afghanistan mid year. It's a bit of a ride but I want to tick off as many boxes as I can before I'm too old to "Tick" anymore if you know what I mean.
Thanks for the yarn Pat. I like hearing of others exploits particularly when one of my favourite topics (VB) is mentioned.
