Yep... 'fraid so Pops...tired, (pooped to be exact) sunburned and very dusty probably why I came off the next morning and broke a few bits? Petrol was $2.20 per litre... that's $10 per gallon.... approximately $66 to fill the bike tank???

And yep Michael close to that in 1 day and yes it 'was' an R1150GS Adventure loaded with me plus more than 100Kg of luggage.... way too much?
Here is my camping spot after the pub:http://www.pbase.com/melbob/image/102691061 ... (front left)

That looks like an excellent place to be after a long day on the bike. I hope you didn't do the mileage in a day if so I'd think you' need more than a cold beer!! A physio comes to mind :-) I'm guessing you ride a BMW GS??

Cool looking pub, our "backwater" pubs are also full of hat memorabilia difference being the are almost exclusively "baseball" type caps. BTW where are the corks?

"Milkshakes $3.50" That's not the Melbob we know and love. I love all the hat, but you knew I would!
