A marvellous facility and deserves a good attendance, organised by Peter Boric and Jim Mac. Perfect weather greeted Eddie Stockley and Paul Naylor at Gordonvale, they proceeded up the Gillies to Yungaburra, also in perfect weather and met up with Steve, Rhonda, Chris and Pete. We rode up the upper Barron road and down Gentle Annie to avoid roadworks between Malanda and Millaa for lunch at Rumours Cafe. The local Lions club was having a free sausage sizzle, so all of us had a freebie before lunch at Rumours. Great ride down the Palmerston with Paul Naylor heading back at the south Johnston turnoff, Chris had turned back earlier at Millaa. Eddie, Pete, Rhonda and I journeyed on thru South Johnston to meet Peter Boric, Jim Mac, Steve and Allison, Carl and Kathy at El Arish for lunch at Bingil Bay where Peter took over and guided us thru backroads to the Bowhunters for a meet and greet. The motel stayers left to check in with the idea of phoning a cab to get back at around 6.30pm for a bbq tea, however Telstra had other plans. Unbeknown to us Telstra was upgrading in the area, so no one had signal. Talked to the motel owner who offered his landline to ring a cab, but the Tully taxi service, god bless them, were not at home. Enter Tina Stockley who saves the day, she had driven down to stay with Eddie at the motel, so, we had wheels. The bbq tea, cheap beer, the facilities and the hospitality of the bow hunters was outstanding as always thanks to Peter Boric and the Bowhunters committee. Jim Mac displayed his recently and beautifully restored 1977 BMW R90/S (one of Don Roy’s). 8am the next morning we returned for breakfast and a non eventful ride home. Steve W.
