As our departure date nears I'm often asked this question.
There's so much to see in such a short time frame.
My memory's not what it used to be so I've been adding a few must see places to my map.
Will we see them all? No, but at least it's a little closer to making an informed decision.
Let me know if you think I've missed a must see.

A record of my ride around the block between April and June 2018. I hope you enjoy it.

Lockhart Art to Wagga beach and home to reflect
Today provided a beautiful morning for a ride out of Jerilderie to Lockhart for breakfast. After checking out Younghusbands and Lockhart's artwork I headed onto Wagga Wagga to catch up with some old friends before turning for Sydney and home.
The trip was 2286kms over four riding days. All the equipment (new and old) performed well, very impressed with the new tent and the self inflating mattress. My CB mounting bracket needs a little work to stop it from rotating downwards and I need to give some serious thought to creating a better mount for the crash cam (I've now broken three mounts over a couple of years).
It was a great weekend and I loved catching up with old friends.
Without doubt morning riding is the best with the crisp clear air and magnificent smells that abound as the day warms up.
A good weekend run.

Of wheat, fish, utes and letters
A good start to the day, farewell Ullswater, to Horsham, Minyip roundabout, then on to Donald for tin fish. Lunch at Karang before jumping the river and heading to Deni famous for the Deni Ute Muster. Then onto Jerilderie where Ned had his letter published. If you haven't read it, please do.

Ullswater by Lake Yallakar
A great day as the rain cleared and guests start to roll in with all sorts of rigs.
My little green tent was clearly the smallest accommodation to set up.
The self-inflating mattress has been great. I'm very surprised at just how comfortable it is.
The two man tent has also performed well with the stiff breezes that have been a constant. Even without the fly being tied down.

Wangaratta to Ullswater
Wangaratta to Violet Town, Elmore, then to StArnaud. Onward to Rupanyup for some Silo art. Followed by Horsham and down the Wimmera Hwy and turn right onto the Ullswater-Mortat road. Too windy with a North Westerly all the way from Bendigo way.

Wangaratta Wahine
A nice ride with protective cloud cover from hard sunlight.
Down the Princes Hwy and up over the pass. Too early to stop at the Robertson Pie shop.
Almost stopped at the Big Potato but thought better of it.
Lunch at the Tuckerbox five miles from Gundagai.
Over the border and on to Wangaratta.
Was going to fix my own dinner but was given a voucher for pub just around the corner. What could I do?... It was dinner at the Vine.
Then back to the tent and listening to Captain Matchbox Whoopee Band. Wangaratta Wahine
And rehydrating with a Jim Bean.

Loaded for Ullswater
Packed and loaded. All tied down and neat lines kept. Nothing worse than seeing bikes stacked to the hilt and luggage hanging on for grim death. Asking for trouble.
Looking forward to ride and catching up with old friends down Edenhope way.
Will leave Sydney tomorrow morning (Thursday 22/2)
