This is a most inspiring piece of the country. From views that you could almost see your house from, Bitter cold of an Autum day and around the next corner was as warm as a fat lady’s armpit, a bit of rain to keep down the dust & if you the thirsty type, rivers deep enough to drown a bike or 3. The DP Cafe at Ensay had a great burger & service, the dog even leaves you a present. Dargo as a whole is unbelievably bike friendly. And the Scott’s working in the store kept Joe amused for hours. His put on Scottish accent for them was regarded as the best Pakistani they had heard.LOL
If you’re going to the Vic High country you couldn’t get a better group of lads.
The House was nice, bunk beds are always rough, and I didn’t hear the snoring. The place backed onto the river as well and was only a small stumble home from the Pub. Well done Mick, he had everything sorted perfectly.
And thanks to Ken for his welcome Jindabyne piece of paradise.
See Mark was there!
You have to admit the names are amusing ( small mind)

Been everywhere man
The Digs
Haunted stream was a blast. More More…… Over knee deep in places. Drowned bikes, steep hills, lifting 8 bikes over a log jam well over hip height. And for me, a night run home with no lights and no moon. Thanks to Joe punting along side of me for light, we got faster & faster and when we recognised the last 20km it was on for young & old. A bit scary when Joe lofted the front as everything when black. What a buzz. And then sprawling in the pub still quite moist shovelling & swilling in the grub & finest local draft.
Billy Goats Bluff is a bit of fun but keep going into the clouds and up to the Pinnacles.

Glouster Meeting point, sure Ill ride there. I love this town. Left home at 6.00am and was having breakfast & coffee there in no time with Joe & Wayne and before long Jethro turned up and the gang was complete, pumped and ready to go.

Dingo Tops
The DR sounded a little rough and then shot out a foot long flame that had me ducking for cover and hoping there was no cannon ball in front of it. Lucky it turned out to be bad connectors and ran well for the rest of the ride.
A river somewhere
Holiday Traffic was terrible. Fair dinkim I don’t know if the guy taking this caravan down this track was all there. You will see the creek crossing in the next few pics that he had to cross. Deffinately no room to turn around.Actually he was the only one of the few people we saw on the tracks the whole two days.
There was a little concern at the next crossing, but we wouldn’t be men if we didn’t cross it…….Joe “Come on in the water is a lovely temperature”. Joe didn’t need to shower after his bath.. ahem both of them..ahem..
Accommodation was good
Jethros landing area. Yes he flew. If anyone goes past here please look for his watch. He realised too many km later to go back.
Again Thanks all.
And thanks for the pics & Vid Jeff. good stuff. Had to laugh out loud again…
