I Thought that given that Gavin had put some video up, then I should sort mine out.

Here is what I got, minus the rainy bit. Sorry for the lack of any sound quality. You might just have to hum a song in your head.

Thanks Mark, I enjoyed that. I'm coming up to 8 mths since I could ride the FJ and I'll take anything. :biggrin:

The wait is over.
Here are the remaining four videos from day 3, Friday

The first three are about 15 min long with some descriptions.

The final video is 30 min long with no descriptions (they do take some work) and shows the run from Tallangatta (Ta lan gat ta, not Tallan gatta) to Dartmouth.

More great footage Gavin, I have ridden that Falls Creek to Anglers Rest (The Blue Duck) more times when it was gravel than I have since it's been sealed, what fabulous country.

I'm deeply disappointed in you squandering the opportunity to eliminate a few cockroaches, they've invaded the High Country like some sort of infestation, even the traders hate them.



This shot was taken on one of the walking trails at Falls Creek, near the summit. (It is an actual photo, I was there, but I can't find the unmolested original) Great country and I was sad you all got to ride it without me.

A couple more

with a few more to come.

Sorry for the lack of music and descriptions.
Hopefully, the road says it all.
It certainly lived up to everything I was told about it.
Can't wait to ride it again.

Good stuff Gav.

I noticed now all the smoke from my bike that people mentioned.

Hopefully it is just from the valve guide seals, not rings.

I'm a fraction rich, like just a smidge, so that could be it as well, but more likely seals or rings.

I can't wait to see that last stretch just before Mitta beside the river. That was an awesome bit.

Those roads are the best in Australia, hands down. Loads of leaves & bark and rocks in sections, but generally really nice.
