Dargo or bust!

Postby The Budgie » Thu Mar 29, 2007 2:03 am

G'day Trendsetters...

Last weekend our bike club took a bit of a trip to Dargo, up in the high plains. About 800kms return, some of the roads you travel just have to be seen to be believed! For those who don't know (or care) where it is, here we go:
Image

We took off Saturday morning at 9.00am...pi$$in down rain
Image
By the time we got to Yarra Junction, rain had stopped and we now had 20 bikes (23 bodies)
Image
Stopped at the Red Parrot Cafe in Noojee
Image
and at Heyfield for juice..
Image
we got to Dargo about 4pm and attacked the local stocks of beer...

The next morning, all mustered for parade
Image
some worse for wear (mwah included)..but all had a great ride home

The only casualties being a Wallaby and a Kookaburra we cleaned up on the Saturday. And a near miss on a Lyrebird :)

Cheers
