Blimey this has come around quick. Better start thinking about packing my gear/bike ready for the weekend. bier

Cavendish Victoria Meeting Announcement:

Due to the unprecedented demand, our local organiser Anthony has gotten creative and powerwashed the floors in an additional and larger room (the footy club changing rooms!) and ordered more chairs, so we're okay for a few more!

don't expect posh, but good enough! :) Camping is ok too I'm told!

The Pub can serve 120 people and we could go over that, so self catering isn't a bad idea, or plan to be patient!

Part of the HU way: you're in training to be travellers, right? So if it's a little rough and ready and there's some lineups, well, that's part of travel right? :) Be flexible and go with the flow!

see you there!

Meeting is over, and a great time was had by all!
 
We had a terrific turnout of 131 people, and we managed to JUST BARELY squeeze everyone into the presentation room for Sherri Jo's talk on Saturday night!

Anthony and Janet Morrison were the organizers for the event and outdid themselves with a fun and entertaining time for all.

A beautiful camping spot was a real highlight of the event, surrounded by shady gum trees and overlooking a small river flowing by.

There were travellers from Canada, USA, Germany and Scotland! And a number of people that attended the Queensland event two weeks earlier rode all the way down, including Marcos Linhares, Guy Basile, Jacquie Kennedy, Valerie and Brian Cullinan, and on a huge ride, Frank Wheeler (76) and Hein Prinsloo (with sidecar) rode all the way on Postie bikes!

Sunday morning, Anthony organized a ride out to a local sheep farm for breakfast and were treated to a sheep shearing lesson:

and later on the ride got a terrific intro to the local bush flora and fauna by a local expert.

a few photos below. If anyone has more please post them up!

Our thanks to Anthony and Janet for all their hard work, and the presenters and volunteers who helped make a great event, and to all of those who came, it was great fun, and we're delighted to have met all of you!

Just got home back in Adelaide after a 1450km round(ish) trip to Cavendish:mchappy:.

What a great weekend. It was full of advice, inspiration and great conversation. Very motivational :clap:

Thanks again to all of those involved in the logistics of the events.
