From our correspondent Down Under

[Cormanus]

In news just to hand, four of the team spent the day riding the Omeo Highway and the Bogong High Plains Road to Mount Beauty. From there they travelled over the Tawonga Gap to join the Great Alpine Road which they rode to Omeo.

"That was fun. There weren't many straight bits", a spokesperson for the group said.

"Didn't rain on us either until an excuse for a shower hit us just before Omeo."

"The weather bloke says it's going to rain today, but it isn't yet."

The spokesperson refused to comment on the whereabouts of the fifth member of the party. It is understood he travelled to Bairnsdale via Omeo to seek attention.

A wannabe sixth member of the party was refused a leave pass from work, but may make a flying visit later in the week.

That's all for now, folks.

Seek attention? Not sure we should ask.

Thanks for the update Cormanus. You get Bob to sample vegemite yet?

[Cormanus]

Yep. Bob's had a go at Vegemite. I've a photo somewhere.

And he's still alive.

As always, Cormanus, great photos and story. Still snow alongside and salt on the roads in NE USA. But we are finally reaching 10 C, so it's getting warmer to wash off the salt in the next rain storm.

Tezza's headed for Queensland; noroomtomove's returned home; InHouse Bob, Pterodactyl and Cormanus ride on and the rain keeps falling.

[the Ferret]

Geez the Aussie rain rally. How many more days do you have on the road Cormanus? SUre hope ot dries out for you.

Boorowa, NSW, 24 March.

It's dawn and there's more than a faint possibility our intrepid riders will see sun this morning. Yesterday's ride was shortened by a serious downpour that made riding both unpleasant and dangerous. We stopped in Boorowa and will have to change our plan for the final day's ride to Sydney.

There are few photos as cameras have been tucked away from the rain. There is this one though.

[the Ferret]

So Bob picked up a souvenir to bring to Arkansas huh?

[noroomtomove]

Did you end up eating a Chiko Roll Bob?

I got home on Wednesday damp to dripping.

At least the sun was shining whilst we were in the snowy mountains, the bridge photo is proof of sun shine.
