"Terribly" Terrific...3 bikes, 3 "old Dusties", 3 days in the Vic High Country
- Thread starter glitch
- Start date
Even if it was only in spirit.
Hytram
<-- now went that way
Coming down Mt Terrible, as usual the camera doesn't give the steepness justice
Short but packed a punch!
Could be the cover of a ADV Mag this one.
Post gorilla snot..
Bridgestone Ax41, very impressed with the on and off road abilities... Not sure of the mileage, time will tell.
Found snow!
OK, who left the gorilla snot skid marks there?

Great shots all the way
That moth is a cracker
Just dumb luck, mate....agree, it was the perfect mix of some rougher stuff and remaining dampness in the ground for very little dust, the water/ storm damage adding plenty of tense riding for all the dropped trees/branches and washouts and extra little waterways/ creeks.
Yeah, wouldn't want to ride some of it this weekend. Then again, wouldn't make a diff for those 27k's with TONS of loose gravel on the Tooronga Rd. into Noojee that last afternoon.
Very much enjoyed the Thomson Valley Rd. though.
With a good number of unknowns for the last day (road closures/ floodings/ impassable tracks) it was "a step-at-a-time", section-by-section.
Up the main road to Woods Point, check out the Upper Goulburn River for water levels and possible use of Johnson Hill Track (2 decent-sized crossings)....or maybe up to Matlock for a run up to "Matlock Heights"/ Historic Area.
South to Thomson Dam via Walhalla/ Mt. Selma or straight via Aberfeldy, maybe this way, maybe that.....in the end it came together like this:

Breakfast anyone?
Just for some quick Jamieson info....
the General Store was taken over and is now doing more food, brecky, coffee's etc. There's ever a day-time "coffee-window" open to the Main Street now.
The Cafe on Main Street has also re-opened, running from 8am-early afternoon.
Pub has new owners and they're a real friendly lot.
The servo also has a new operator, but for fuel/ oils etc only, no more mechanical services/ help.
The former owner of the servo/ garage is still doing the towing/recoveries, working from both the Jamieson and Mansfield bases.
As said before, another major rain event or 2 and the Woods Point Rd. will be washed away, the Goulburn River was still 3x its usual width and together with the road filled the entire width of the valley floor between Knockwood and Kevington.
Nothing much ever happens in Gaffneys Creek....until Ian shows up
The little Raspberry Creek, usually just a dribble
Woods Point International Golf Course anyone?
9th hole.....clubhouse in the background?
Upper Goulburn foaming through town.....that puts paid to the Johnson Hill crossings!

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.
