Cold Flame Rally 6th - 8th March 2015

Morro I'm at work I'll PM you Jims number tonight gotta go - tony is calling

was going to leave about six am from baxter, then follow the a1 through Bairnsdale / bruthen then c608 to Buchan, fuel up , then follow snowy river rd till it runs into barry way then carry on till I find pinch river camp site, how does that sound for a plan, never been this area before so don't want to stuff up,

When you hit the Vic - NSW Border (watch out for the corner near there) set your trip metre to zero. About 25k's there is a concrete bridge. 100 metres, turn left.

Open beer can.

And I so advise.

Doonie.

Or, 6 am from Baxter puts you in Briag before 9. am. Come to my place, follow me and the boys a very different way. Similar k's.

Doon

PM sent.

Thanks Davo.
Waiting for Jim to call me back.
Morro

He could be in the Maternity ward?

I think its a bit closer to 12 km from Willis (Vic/NSW border)

At the rate of knots that the 950 travels at, it probably feels like 12kms, but I'm with Doonie on the distance.

See ya there?

Chris

DD gets the cigar, 10.98 Km, according to Oztopo and Basecamp.

Doonie's talking Friday that is

just sayin

G

As the crow fly's yes,

Tell ya what. Stop the bike at 10.98km, get off and push the bike to the bridge where the campsite is.

Good luck!

PS maps are your friend

Cheers

Chris

Nope, by road. It's certainly not 25 k

Doonie wouldn't know if a tram was up him till the conductor rang the bell.

Just saying

See you Chris (and others) tomorrow

cheers
G

No chicken curry's

At least I can push my bike from here to Doonies

Chris

Woody they are Victorian km

I get approx 13.5km from border to bridge over Pinch river using air photos and distance plotting tool along the road.

Morro

Don't forget our Crows observe all speed limits

This photo was taken at least 12 years ago, at the border at Willis, looking back into Vic, on the way to a Cold Flame rally.

It has always tickled my fancy. Especially since in those days, it was almost all dirt back to Buchan



Cheers

Chris

GMaps (by reckoning) indicate 13.5km form point C to point D.

I was at VicRoads when these signs were installed in the late 1980's (I seem to remember).

Instructions from Head Office were to install these signs at ALL border crossings, in addition to highway and major road entrances to major towns and the metropolitan area. Looks like we didn't miss the Barry Way.

I'm sure Chris can give us an accurate reading post rally for future reference.
