The forecast didn't look too flash....and the run to the meeting point in Healesville showed some dramatic skies.
Fat Blackbellies backlit by shafts of early morning sunshine...nature put on one of her specials.
Only Adrian and Peter showed up, finishing up with 4 Stroms, 3x650s and the WTF_2.
The small group hopped across the true_to_its_name Black Spur (burned by the recent bushfires), which didn't look too bad compared to what followed north-east of Narbethong, with everything burned to the ground both sides of the road for the next 25k's.... a truly sad view.
The backroad to Eildon was all green though...as was the Skyline Road.
Surprisingly few rocks on the road this time, and too early in the year for the moss to appear, the twisties are as good as ever.
Another sad view....the nearly dried out Lake Eildon from the Skyline Road.
Adrian's a bit sceptical...
As always, the views into the High Country are superb
Penny's Pinch...just about to drop down to Peppin Point
Down the Sonnberg Rd.
Some sweet twisties along ther shores of Lake Eildon to Bonnie Doon, then the shortg of boring Hwy droning to Barjarg....and a tack west into the pine plantations and native bush.
Things got a bit slippery and therefore busy...no pics.
Some broken, bumpy asphalt got us into Strathbogie township.
After the leisurly lunch it's west once more, the small dam/ lake and those rockshelves below invited another stop...and some pissfarting around
A true little gem of the Highlands
