Yep, finally hit the road, all 17kms of it to Wingham Brush on my first shakedown in PJ. First night was a bit of a kerfuffle but it got better after that. Main prob at the mo is my lack of stamina caused by a few medical issues - special diet, no teeth, etc. But things are improving slowly and I'm looking forw...

I took this photo approx 10 years ago at Bundarra. Yeoelevens post back a bit reminded me of it.

I wonder if anyone has come across him. -- Edited by was...
