Qantas

Beware of these people ! They have instructed the staff at the redundant screening into Sydney airport to steal Swiss Cards from travellers. Nothing better to do since there is no actual threat to anyone they are making their own CRISIS ! And should you unhappily have had a joint replacement then you are automatically under suspicion. That means removing a great deal more clothing including watches , REDICULOUS !!!!

Big ride Qld to Sydney

Left Main Beach late Saturday after loosing a darned credit card which I discovered stuck to the bottom of my iPad , So Beaudesert for a cup of tea and as dusk set in and dead Roos lined the road I slowed. I finally made Stanthorpe a small town on the Qld border. No rain s For 18 months the man said, it was minus 5 and no frost because there was no moisture. Well would you believe it the next morning light 4ain that followed me half the day. Very unpleasant riding but a delightful countryside. So on I went stopping for a tank of gas and a coffee. My favourite Shell station provided both. And on and on and on as it got bloody cold and I crossed the Great Dividing Range again. Places like Armidale and Tamworth and past the Blue Heeler statue that I missed in the dark. Pleased to arrive in Constitution Hill. 850 kms and about 10 hours. Bike went well. Enjoyed the ride despite the adverse conditions..

Dark, cold and Kangaroos After 18 months of no rain it was so dry a -5 degree morning yesterday should have had a frost but too dry. So my morning started a day later started with rain ! Then pack up and go. It was an 860 k drive. Took 8 hours. Arrived cold and tired.
