Crikey....now that's a step back in time in your first pic Hytram, I hope you didn't cop any bad old fuel out of those prehistoric pumps....was it Golden Fleece by any chance?

LOVE all those pics, they get you right back there in a flash.

Nice crop, too

Seemed like a good idea at the time.

Wow. Glitch, really awesome photos mate......such a gorgeous part of our Country. I've only recently moved to the Albury/Wodonga area and so much to explore, I've had a taste of it and I can't wait to get to see so much more with help from my Strom.

Sounds like a reasonable idea ....and you're right in the middle of the Aladdin's Cave of the best roads/ tracks/twisties in Oz.

Weren't you a Sydney-boy?

Yeah.......WAS!! I moved down to Albury just before last year, we bought a house here for a 3rd of anywhere in Sydney, but Originally from Newcastle and lived around Grafton for 9 years, not as many Mountains but holy moly, the tracks in the National Parks behind brooms head & Yamba are good fun where Kangaroos stand 7 foot tall and you have the Old Glen Innes road to the West.
I bought my first 650 Strom when in Newcastle from 2011 to 2017, great riding around the Hills of the Upper Hunter Valley, lots of dirt roads but work had me moving back to Sydney where i was based from 1986. Had the 2015 Gathering at Gloucestor on the Buckets Way and it was a complete washout...so there was a lot of getting wet inside too

Had a huge road ride day today, decided to do a 1 day tour around the Riverina from Albury, starting with Wagga Wagga, then up to Narrandera, to Jerilderie, Finley and back to Albury via Howlong...total 515kms .....those roads were as long as the eye can see, no mountains but billiard table flat. The little Strom loved every second of it....so did I. It's incredible how big NSW really is. Unfortunately due to the amount of kms travelled, there was no time for photos. I have to get out of that habit.

Yeah, 500k's in NSW alone doesn't really get one far from home.

Sounds like a worthwhile plan
