Hey Jungle we will be leaving the Shell servo in the main street about 10am if anything changes I'll let you know. Cheers Emu
It was noted a while ago that Caroona stn is for sale, so is Worlds End stn. I'm looking at buying a new (to me) boomspray, and was looking through the upcoming clearing sales when I saw the upcoming sale at Worlds End. Nothing for me, but there's some old motorbikes, trucks & cars that may interest someone. http://www.farmclearingsales.com.au/clearing-sales/?sid=453&view=ads I hate clearing sales, usually full of people with nothing better to do than pick over the bones of someone's farming history.
And in so many cases, an entire way of doing things....it is sad. A thousand stories right there in that auction, and no-one will ever hear them
Emu you have 9.00am posted and 10.am leaving ....... for the record 10am would work for better for me Adrian
The missus thinks she wants to visit opal territory. We're a Kiwi/Welsh couple with lots of road and dirt experience, and will be in NZ for much of the earlier part of 2013. I was vaguely thinking of flying into Adelaide then doing a trip up the Stuart and back, in an ideal world on rented bikes. Can any of you fine chaps point me in the direction of a good bike rental place in Adelaide- she normally rides a VFR800, me a 1200GS. Would the journey be an OK one or just really boring? Would it be worth going further up to Alice? We both like the desert, and so far haven't ever been anywhere that's been too hot for us. Would appreciate any input. And yes, I know the sheep will be very nervous.

They are mean whoops, would be even worse with a bad hangover, I'm sure my hangover was well & truely gone by the time I got to them..
What's with the baffles still in those akra's Adrian? You OLD and don't like the noise or something? lol
yea ther'es a bit of that....... watching the other blokes pull there helmets off and remove earplugs.............:eek1 just starting a quick ride report now, was really hoping to see 4 Erzbergs lined up yest...
I think he found my Tenere with the Leo Vince cans (baffles out) a little deafening the other day Wayne. No earplugs for me Gasman, I love the noise a well set-up exhaust can make, cars, bikes, anything! Standing in the pits at Bathurst in the old days of Group C was music to my ears, and the note from the back of the Ten touring over the Oodnadatta Track last month was magic - love it.
Hi folks, Just wondering if anyone has ridden Skytrek (Willow Springs Station) at all, and if it's worth doing. I've done it in a 4WD, but not for 10 years, and can't remember much detail of it. I realise back in April they had to re-route part of the trek (bypassing Mt Carnarvon) due to issues with the access to the Rock Wallaby reserve, but nonetheless, anyone got any thoughts?
Just seeing if there's any others planning to come up (to the Flinders) on these dates(Wed Nov 14, to 18). There's about 4-6 so far, and we're looking at putting the bikes on trailers for the trip up. If you're thinking of coming and might need a spot on a trailer, let me know when you can (PM me). Rough plan so far includes staying at Angorichina, and doing the nearby PAR's, and then a couple of other options also, depending on what anyone else wants to throw into the hat.
