First topic message reminder :

As posted in the VIC Ride page:

I was chatting to Rayman about doing a overnighter for the SA members sometime this year, he suggested Mt Gambier, I was thinking Mid Nth of SA.
His idea of Mt Gambier got me thinking, we could do a SA / VIC get together somewhere about 1/2 way between Adelaide & Melbourne.
I've had a bit of a look and this little gem popped up, Lake Wallace Hotel Edenhope, about 390km each way, $30 a room inc continental breakfast

https://www.facebook.com/lakewallacehotel.edenhope/about

Would any of the VIC members be up for it a bit later in the year? Easy morning ride to Edenhope, check in, go for a ride or just relax and talk shit, head home Sunday or if you can get Monday off stay a extra night. Who knows, we might even be able to talk Paul into this one as well Wink

I should have gone here 1st, we haven't booked rooms yet, they have 7 rooms with 2 singles in each, depending on numbers we may have to do some sharing (except Lyn, she doesn't want to hear us burp and fart all night Wink  ) The starting price was $30 a head, inc continental breakfast, they did say the price could go down with a larger group booking

Was thinking about doing it in about a week. I've thrown up the idea of leaving Friday PM with Rayman06 and paul, it would give us a chance to do a bit more on the Saturday, maybe Naracoorte Caves or I'm open to ides if anyone has any.

Rayman can probably get away mid afternoon, I've got to double check but will be owed a afternoon off by then, Paul's not sure yet but happy to catch up on the Saturday if he can't.

I was thinking a stop over at either Coonalpyn, Keith or Tintinara if we were heading down the Dukes/Riddoch Hwy, if we wanted to add a few km we could stay at Bordertown then head down through Francis the next morning, I've heard there's a great little pub with good rooms at Francis I'd like to check out for another weekender. The Bordertown hotel has $40 pub rooms and I got a email back saying with notice they could arrange secure off street parking.

If we got away by 3 we'd be there before dark, if it was a later start we'd be able to stop off at one of the earlier towns for the night.

I would probably have to leave Saturday. Don't think I can stretch to Friday arvo, so could just meet up with you down there. The caves visit sounds good though!

If the Friday PM ends up a goer we could do a late start and slowish meander down through Francis to check it out, then onto Naracoorte, we'd only have about 1 hr riding where as you'd have 3 1/2 hrs to get there, maybe lunch in town and then the caves and onto Edenhope. 

Depending on how far away the VIC crew was that morning they might even like to catch up at the caves as well?

Just rang the Lake Wallace hotel. Looks like some of us will be sharing as not all of the rooms are available.
They have put 4 rooms aside for us, no deposit required.

If the numbers change we will need to let them know

Yes Lynn I told her you will need your own room.

Good work mm

I've got the afternoon off on the Friday (22nd) so I'll be meeting Rayman in the city at 2:45 to leave straight from there when he finished up, we'll stay at the Bordertown Hotel that night

We'll catch up with Paul and Cal at Naracoorte before heading out to the caves, if anyone else wants to join us you're most welcome

I don't think eitehr of my mates will make it this time, if we go again later Matt might on his Monster, he's in the middle of moving back from Moranbah after being away too many years to remember (before Kaylah was born)

Lyn is going to join Paul and myself in Bordertown on Friday 22nd, we'll head south in the morning and catch Paul and Cal (plus anyone else that wants to go) in Naracoorte before heading to the caves.

Paul/Cal, any idea what time you'd get away? 

Here's a link to the Naracoorte Caves site

http://www.environment.sa.gov.au/naracoorte/plan-your-visit/tour-prices-and-times

I was thinking either the Wet Cave which I'm pretty sure is self guided and no set times or the Alexandra Cave which has a 1:30 tour, unless Paul and Cal reckon they'd be there in time to visit Paul's ex in the Bat Cave at 11:30.


Bryan, do we need to contact the Lake Wallace Hotel or is everything fully sorted for that?

Probably best keep away from the fossil centre , they may think some of the exhibits are trying to escape  Laughing
The 1.30 Alexandra one sounds good....................might be a bit cold for the wet one Razz ..............& I don't really want to see " you know who " pale

Yep sounds good. I have to say, you are all too organised! It's still a month away and it's all sorted, I still don't have the bike reg paid up! Guess I better get it done soon, and put bits back on the bike that I took off to sell it. Sad

Its meant to be all sorted but it wouldn't hurt double check with them.
I spoke to a woman, didn't catch her name.
Supposedly 4 rooms put aside for "Suzuki Bandit Forum "

Friday night rooms are booked for Rayman, SuziSuzuki and Myself at the Bordertown Hotel

$40ea inc continental breakfast.

As we're the 1st to book for that night we also get the locked and alarmed shed, looks like a good bike friendly place to stay, they also have another locked (no alarm) shed and a unsecured but off street veranda available for bike parking
