Last Blast camps at Yarrangobilly

[curlyjoe]

Good stuff Ptero! Love camping off the bike in remote places once or twice a year.

I can't get enough of it now. As a youngster I spent a lot of time camping in the bush with my Dad (he was a timber getter for some years). I loved it and he taught me so much. However fast forward a few years to leaving the army when I swore that I would never sleep on the ground again. And I didn't for ten years. Then a friend of mine, who had the luxury of having been in Armoured Corps, asked me to guide and mentor him and his family on a walk to the [url=http://www.nightfall.com.au/walking-lamington-national-park-wrestrays-grave-stinson-wreck/]Stinson wreck in Lamington NP. In those days you couldn't do a "guided" walk there and it was considered to be a challenge, so I acceded to his request. I found that I again loved the bush experience. Not having a WO kicking me in the ribs to keep me awake after long periods of sleeplessness also enhanced the experience. So now when I get the chance to indulge myself with camping and motorcycling combined I take it. Doesn't get much better than to be woken by the Kookaburras and then ride a few hundred kilometres.

Cheers

Gee Pterodactyl, every time you post I learn a bit more about OZ.
