If thats too much for a day, find a backpackers (often like $20) or the BBH which is $90 Bed, Dinner and Breakfast. Be warned though. You can spend that much in beer.

Seriously good riding around them parts.

Hey Feral. I have to be honest, I don't remember seeing you (but then again, I was the "townie"/tourist :P). Thats yet another example of how passing KB'ers easily miss each other...

Catch you next time mate.
Dave.

PS: Thanks, and do ya think that "engine" in the visitors centre would fit in a motorbike? I'm looking at building a track bike

It runs on $1 coins too, about even with petrol what with all the price hikes!

Thanks Steve, nice pics... I'm still amazed at how you take pics on the trot haha. I guess it comes down to easy accessibility...

But, why didn't you post the pics of me draggin my knee, and the high chair wheelie I did? At the very least, you could have put the 219m stoppie pic up, that was one of my best...

Thanks,
Dave.
