Thanks to Doug, Tim and Robert for their patience with me being a few minutes late Sat morning (flat battery and a quick re-pack - everything outta the trailer and necessities on the bike). The company riding north to Benalla was good to!
Arrived Benalla on time, the oven timer went 'ping' as we arrived at John and Johnny's, and sausage rolls and party pies were heated just noice.
Moike was already there, Kenny and Shane arrived in time to get some eats.
John's daughters are budding baristas and brewed a very nice coffee (though a bit hotter next time girls, please).
.... Love you AusTouring guys! :cdle
Better pitch my tent a bit further away next time.
I arrived home around 1:30pm after an early start from Maffra this morning. Last night was Maffra instead of Bruthen 'cause I arrived at Bruthen at 3:00pm, didn't feel like sitting at the Bullant for six hours, so kept going.
Between leaving home and arriving back there were a few pics, here's a few from down Lucyvale Road from me.

Another renovator's delight"
Lucyvale was a delight, very scenic, quaint, out of the way, around 8km of good quality surface, then gravel no-through-road for roadies, may be a through route for dusties.
