Here's the kick-off...still sorting Goodie's crop of pics.

All on time...and all dry at the start.

Da Fuzz doing some last-minute practicing...just in case :bees::bt

A boring drone down the Princess Hwy past Traralgon to make some distance quickly and get the commuting out of the way for the weekend.

Via the backtracks onto the Licola Rd. for the run north...

While the twisties turned sweet, the skies turned black...

Near the South Rd/ Mt. Selma Rd. turnoff...heading into the roiling + broiling cold-front that's pushing across the Vic High Country.

If I can find the lookout it, I'll stop, promise!

The fog just blanks out everything, sights and sounds alike. Somewhere there were some magnificent views, somewhere there was Mt. Skene....somewhere there were some tress and bends and lots of other stuff. The only thing that was really there were the next 5-10 meters, lots of rocky and bouncy stuff and reddish slop squishing all over the place, the occasional slip 'n slide or careful stop to check where the road actually is.


Dropping into a dry patch at Jamieson...dry from above that is.
The skies are still pitchblack ahead...for us turning north-east on the backroads to Tolmie....as well as for Ant heading back to Melbourne for the night, meeting up again in Myrtleford the next day.

Some friendlier skies after some backroads took us close to Merrijig and into the back of Tolmie...and finally into the King Valley.

The King River Camp turned out an absolute WINNER!, the folks running the place are incredible (looking after 3 foster-kids while running a holiday/ school camp!!).

And while the rooms are spacey, the beds and facilities are basic (byo linen/ sleeping bag etc)

...the friendliness and warm welcome you get as a rider is only trumped by the excellent tucker!! This is home-cooked stuff at its BEST!
Then add the complimentary bottle of red (not that it was really needed for the first night when we brought along a selection of the local Cheshunt Pizzini Winery):wot::bs

There's also some choice reading material around, the place is owned by some Christian Association after all....and it sure makes praying easier for the Katoom punters amongst the flock :killingme:killingme

"Sweet Jeezaz, let it all hang together for one more day, Hallelujah!"
