 Welcome to the Wanderers 4WD
Club web site.
Dear Wanderers and friends,
Hi everyone ...
Another calendar year nearly over. I had 2 weeks leave joining the Long Ride 2011 to Sydney. A fantastic journey completed safely ... about 4000km's in 10 days.. I can report being intimately aware of the interface between my bottom & the motorcycle seat! We raised some $152k ...
My trip started on a Monday a late run in the welcome cooling rain to Loxton. Tuesday I visited museums in Pinnaroo & Harrow finishing up in Hamilton. Wednesday was forecast strong winds & rain so I just headed east to Queenscliff ... others rode down around the Great Ocean Road ... lucky for them the weather held. Thursday on the ferry across to Sorrento and up to Sale. Friday through Cooma into Canberra.
Saturday to Sydney. Lyn flew over. Saturday night's dinner was a cruise on the harbour ... awesome. Sunday visited a couple of bike shops & then just up to Wentworth Falls to stay with friends.. Monday Lyn flew home, I headed down the NSW south coast to stay with friends just out of Narooma ... beautiful country. Tuesday back through Cooma to Jindabyne.
Wednesday rode in the rain over the mountain (snow at Thredbo) finishing up in Echuca. More beautiful country. Stopped at Bonegilla on the way. My parents were sent here while they waited for work allocations as part of their immigration deal back in the early 50's. Checked out the Holden museum in Echuca. Thursday visited a Catalina Flying Boat museum at Lake Boga and ended up in Mildura.
 Friday up to Wentworth and across to Renmark on the dirt. Hmmm ... big road bike & dirt ... I don't need to re-visit that experience again. Safe at home Friday night.
Saturday night Lyn & I joined the Wanderers at Milang for dinner ... excellent ... well done Sonya & Ben.
I wish you all a safe & relaxing break.
See you in the new year.
Fred
