...and Mt. Baw Baw National Park at that.
"You want WHAT? Bookwork? Look at the weather, boyo.....we'll go for a ride!!"
And that was that. Not much convincing needed, let's head east into the hills then, we'll see where we'll finish up.
The old timber-town of Powelltown first

A break and a chocky bar to tackle more of the plentiful loose gravel, bark, subsided road edges and mid-corner surprises brought about by dropped branches after the recent high winds.

The Red Parrot Cafe in Noojee had a new barista on temporary duty and the cuppacinos were a superb side-dish to an animated coversation with a British/ South-African couple on a GSX14....the sun getting low as it was time to close the ride with a few more twisties on the way home as the shadows grew long.

Wow what a way to spend a day! Thanks for a great report, sometimes I get a bit jealous about all that alpine country you guys get to burn around in. Nothing funnier than a) someone falling over unexpectedly while walking backwards :lol: and b) and an animated south african motorcyclist! :p :wink: :chug:

Thanx!
