Becsta,

thanks for the thoughts. It was one of your local 'roos that got me - happened on the road between Bungedore and Tarago.

Now rating myself as a 75% chance for Daybro - so hopefully see you there.

Glad everyone else appreciated the Roo Stew!

M.

Hi everyone,

Just to let you know that we have 45 confirmed attendees registered, this is the same number for the same time as last year, so we are getting there. The spread of home locations is much higher with more travellers from across Australia and overseas than before. This should make for an even more interesting bunch of people and event. The mix of bikes is even more eclectic as well.

Regards,

Shane

Hey Guys, just wondering if there was an update to whether there is any 4x4 content this year, would like to come, and happy to talk about the first part of our trip 2010 -2012 - UK to Oz?

Are you planning anything in the NSW area later in the year?

Martin

Hi Martin,

As yet we do not have any 4x4 presentations; yours would be the first one for 2012. However your presentation is most welcome. Come on down ( or up I guess ).

As yet, we have no plans for a HU TM in NSW for 2012. Each HU TM is organised by volunteers and the first step is for a group of volunteers to put their collective hands up and say yes, we'll do one. From that start there is a lot of work, but its not that hard.

Hope to see you at Dayboro in June.

Regards,

Shane

Registrations ...

Nine (9) days to go to the start of the Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting in Dayboro Queensland - 8 - 10 June 2012. If you're coming but have not registered you need to do so ASAP. Registrations that include Saturday night dinner and/or Sunday morning breakfast will close tonight. You can still register after that, but not the dinner/breakfast as I need to get final numbers to the caterers.

It should be a GREAT weekend.

Steve, these meetings are really laid back, but not at all like a "rally with obligatory bonfire and pissup" more of a networking and learning meet. Just bring enough camping gear to be comfortable there are showers and all amenities on site you could want and a bakery within 15 minutes walk.

The evening presentations are a great time to partake in a bottle of red if your that way inclined while hearing from some interesting people with great pics.

Enjoy the ride up.

Nine (9) days to go to the start of the Horizons Unlimited Travellers Meeting in Dayboro Queensland - Friday 8 - Sunday 10 June 2012. If you're coming but have not registered you need to do so ASAP. Registrations that include Saturday night dinner and/or Sunday morning breakfast HAVE closed. You can still register to attend and join in, but Saturday night dinner and Sunday morning breakfast numbers have closed and you will either have to self-cater or enjoy the delights of the local bakery and shops. The bakery is very nice BTW; it helps me keep my fine figure!

Steve, it may be cold, so pack warm clothes.

There are plenty of shops nearby, so don't worry too much, just pack a credit card . As Mike says, it is very laid back. See you there.

Regards,

Shane

Hi All
Final packing hopefully leaving Monday.
Looks like rain all the way, and to top it off, the weather map says I'm traveling all the way following the frost belt. May see snow oh joy, Long Johns Time!
So hope to be there by Thursday or Friday
See you at Dayboro

Then Armidale (maybe get a look at Wollomombi Fall....possible camp spot ???) and then take the old Grafton road to Grafton, then Casino, Beaudesert,etc.......

I'm not too sure how far I will get on the first day but I reckon I'll be rolling into Dayboro on Friday, mid-afternoon.

Your welcome to tag along
Sounds good, im also riding up from Sydney.

New to Horizons Unlimited?

New to motorcycle travelling? New to the HU site? Confused? Too many options? It's really very simple - just 4 easy steps!

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
