New Years Eve 2010/11

At 1030 this morning while visiting friends at Port Germain, Smeghead my 21 month old traveling companion was run over by a car. I rushed him back to Port Pirie vet Clinic, Both rear legs were broken, one had a badly smashed paw that would have needed amputating.
So we had him put down.
RIP Smeghead March 2009 to December 2010

Late report of September/October trip

A bit late, but had a lot on my mind lately.
Left to travel to the NSW side car rally via dirt to Broken Hill then onto Menindie and the road to Ivanhoe.
Followed the railway to Mt Hope, took the wrong road, used the one shown on my map south of the railway and got hopelessly bogged in the mud 30 K from Mt hope. Camped the night and got going again by 9pm on the Saturday. Arrived at the rally site late Saturday & picked up the trophy for Longest Distance Side Car & also one for the most Interesting Side car as well.
Then on up to Wingam to visit an old mate I went to Epping Boys High with.
Then on to Brisbane to visit Dan (Dagger) Freakly for a day or two then back home via Goondwindi, Bourke and Cobar.
