Boonanghi Recon Ride



















Thumb Creek Ride


I was exploring the upper Taylors Arm area and found a side track.

Lots of logging going on up here.

It's pretty remote so some good sized timber was still available.

Decent logs are at a premium now. So worthwhile for removal.

I found what remained of an old hippy community.

Looked as if they'd just up and walked out.

From what I was told later, there was a big drug bust and they were moved on.

Heaps of great fruit trees in full bloom too, I might come back here later.

Misty old trail this one

In the clouds

One of the many orange bikes


Greta motors across the creek

Bug Matt gets his boots wet

Greta in submarine mode

Phil decides to walk it across

And spark had to tip the water out

Even had to remove his pipe to drain it


Some gear hung out to dry

Chunk does his airbox maintenance for the year

Spark had the KTM roaring with no pipe

While Ben attempts to dry his boots out

Tony had to go back for his bashplate

Wheel in the air again

All of us were cold and wet



A bit of fernery


Walking up to the lookout

Happy chappies

Not a bad view







Too many trees



Skirting the airfield

Heathland on the plateau


Good views


Matt crosses the creek




Matt lays down under a log


Top of the range

Splitting up at Willi Willi

A quick run home
