Australia Day 2016_ AusTouring's 10th Birthday, Eskdale

Cutting a long story short...when this place was "born" on a stinking hot Saturday afternoon in Feb. 2006, I didn't really expect that spur-of-the-moment idea to outlast the afternoon's BBQ. W-)

We wanted a place that lived by its rides and travel, yarns and pics. Concentrate on the essence of traveling on bikes... near and far
And leave everything else to the others.

10 years on, it still does.

And it does so thanks to you folks filling this place with life and colour, stories and character, quirks and endless, glorious pics.

A BIG THANKS to all of you. :bow:


10 years old...and nearly 40 showed up in Eskdale for the party :lao


A wet start...
