Nice road indeed. It was the Omeo Valley Highway and it would have to rate as one of the best, if not the best, motorcycle road in Australia. From Omeo to Mitta Mitta is 104 kms. The first time I rode the Omeo it was still, for the most part, dirt. Rain made it a very interesting ride. Some sections were being prepared for sealing and had been graded and compacted giving the impression of riding on a strip of brown ice. I was glad to get off it. Last year I road it in company with Cormanus and Jalalski enroute to the 2014 MotoGP. Cormanus gives a description in [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4453&pid=67128#pid67128]this post.

On the return from this years MotoGP I had my GoPro up and running over much of the Omeo. Ferret's post inspired me to put together a video to try to give forum members an impression of how good this road is. My first cut was just over three minutes in duration. I was satisfied with it but I felt it didn't convey enough about this road and it's many interesting sections over that wild 104kms. In particular it didn't give an idea of the stamina that is required to ride the Omeo at any pace. The final cut is just on 10 minutes. I hope the quality is such that you will ride the Omeo Valley Highway with me, and enjoy it. Let me know.
