Calling Canberrans

[Madmax]

I was hoping like hell you'd just trust me.

You are one of the few riders I trust to be close and behind me woman, you're a very good rider.

The family are happy Belle is in good hands. Tell him he can have his pick of the bunchif he wants one. The kids would like to keep a male, the rest can be adopted out to good families.

Still raining up here.

Hey Max,

What can you tell me abour Woomera. Besides the IDC. What's it like long term...like 6-9 months?

[copperjosh]

Belle is having babies??? lol, wow! thats awesome, such a beautiful cat. I'd take one but we already have 3! lol!

[saracen]

Busdriver, apparently they fire big mouth wanking kwackasuki riders into orbit on a daily basis. So a 6-9 month posting should be a theraputic especially if you get to see the imminent launch of CopperJess!!

I strongly suspect Marty will want a baby, he loves Belle. We'll see how we go when they are born.

1400+ kays to Alive Springs up the middle.
114 kays to Glendambo for a decent hamburger.
182 kays to Port Augusta (or as the locals call it Pt Agutta)
1700 kays from Canberra, I did it in a day back in 1985 - long way with nothing in between - the best route was Cobar - Broken Hill - Come into the main road somewhere north of Adelaide, a very boring and dangerous stretch kagaroos and emus.
Hot - unbelievably hot during summer and still gets cold enough to need jumpers during winter.
You saw the town with us when we did the old IRPC during the riots, there's even less there now! Pray for a pub.
You'll need your computer to stay sane with the lack of people.
Murray Shirpie closed his servo last year.


Good luck mate, you'll have to buy a trail bike as the sand dunes at Lake Hart are unbelievable!!!


Max = home in a week

Busdriver, Roxby Downs isn't that for from Woomera (about 1/2 hr).Roxby has a fairly new pub Less than 20 yrs old.The american
service guys have an impressive club, (I installed the beer system )With an indoor bowling ally. It's a good little town & everything is New. Sorry but Woomera is a hot dump.

[Greeny_SA]

Hey Busdriver, I just read the date of you're post.I should be asking
you about Woomera cause you,ve had time to do 9 mths & come back.
Note to self Read post date b4 replying.

I was REALLY confused, I thought I'd missed not only a ride, but I appeared to have had a complete conversation with Max I'd forgotten.

AND Copperjosh was back in the fold.

AND Copperjosh was back in the fold.

Only if he got a decent bike again.

Greeny, Les didn't make it to Woomera, he's still trying to get any posting there. Mary and I spent 2 years there in '85 and '86. Had a couple of runs back as has Les (Busdriver) but that was when DIMIA had the Immigration detention Centre there.

It's good to see some new life being injected into the place.
