There are several TSRs just off and beside the Hume Hwy? Like Lambs TSR on Wargeila Road and Bowning Railway TSR below the impressive Mount Bowning. If you're coming from Gunning on the Coolalie Road, at…"
Warren Hudson replied to Dabba's discussion Getting into Yass in the group touring"Dabba, G'day. That track is for Emergency Services vehicles, supposedly. The use of it isn't encouraged (wink), although it is on a Crown Easement. Crown Easements are public land.
My best wishes.

Warren Hudson replied to timothy.clifford's discussion This will give you nightmares..."Thanks Mate.
My leg isn't looking too bad now. Only two weeks ago a doctor was questioning whether I should still have the bite location cut out. I'd rather sit it out and wait for the skin to repair in its own good time.
When I was bitten…"

Just followed link from touring group to your photobucket. Great photos. Will be interested to hear how the extra wheel goes. The caves creek picture (http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd301/WildWassa/CavesCreek.jpg) is that near Blue Waterholes south west of Canberra?
Cheers,
Michael

- Hi Warren, yes got your reply. Thanks. Blue waterholes is a magical place. I walked through there and on another occasion drove there for a picnic with wife and, then baby, daughter in the late 80's. It hadn't occurred to me since I've started cycling that it would probably be an sensational destination for a multi-day ride. I'll have to do a bit of research into the logistics. Thanks for the inspiration.
