Waiting for the rain and thunder....while that wombat was growing to the size of a cement-truck.
A few hours of rain and blowy gusts washed the skies....and turned the dust and copious amounts of fresh gravel into some greasy, treacherous blanket.
Rob (a86) swelled the numbers to a half-dozen again, joining up for the ride back to Melbourne.
The sun was out and the first hour was spent cruising some choice roads along the ridges above the Latrobe valley...the glorious views only broken by the occasional "shit, where's this applecart going??" or " please let me make that lefthander, come around, ya bastard!" when hitting one of the many midcorner-skidpans under the trees.
Through Trafalgar South, the narrow, sealed twisties of the Narracan Connection Rd and another piece of the McDonalds Track were an absolute delight....a lazy Skippy showing up as a quick reminder of who rules the roost up here, though.
Some bumpy stuff through the pine plantations back to Mirboo Nth., finding yet another pearler of a single-lane-twister-turning-to-gravel out the back....wondering why the hell we've never been there before.
Somewhere on the Canavans Rd, heading for Wild Dog Valley
Just made it around another "wombat", hooray....
Fabulous stuff!!
Some sweet little roads around Bellview Hill into Bena
(this time with a certain Husky looking for some greenery
)....
...got us to Andersons Hill....Found it!!
The final stretch of neat gravel and some surprise- single-laner twisties to The Gurdies.
Looking onto Westernport Bay and French Island .
Where'd we be without Tomato Sauce eh?
(even if the sunnies just slipped off my head and splotched into the pie
)
The End....
....for now.
'Cause we'll do that one again !! Screw Murphy!!
THANKS for a cracker of a time, folks...still having the giggles now while writing it up.
YYYYAYYYY!!!
