Dave Ramsey of the Northern Rivers Adventure Riders invited me to the Wattle Flat ride again.
Last year was a great turnout and I got to meet plenty of cool people.
I left late in the afternoon and rolled up to Wattle Flat at about 10.30PM.
I wanted to get a quiet camp before all the raucous motorcycles turned up.
I had a decent sleep and commenced preparing for the nights festivities.
A couple of decent sized logs were snigged out by the old DR650.
It was certainly hot enough for a splash in the Styx and very nice it was.
A few bikes started rolling in, along with the 4WD Club from Coffs Harbour.
Craig Wilson carries the majority of tucker and booze, leaving the bikes a lot lighter.
Its a great system and keeps everyone happy. Thanks Craig.

Kim needed fuel, so we rode into Ebor and caught the Petrol Station just in time.
Then a cold beer at the Ebor Falls Hotel.
Thanks for the beer Kim.
After a quick scratch down the Armidale - Kempsey Road we lit the fires and opened a bottle or two.
I slept in somewhat and was happy I did.
It helped me miss the majority of the dust heading down Georges Trail.
40 or more bikes will raise a bit.
Georges Trail is a steep drop from the Armidale Plateau down to Lower Creek.
These blokes were pumping the water out of a drowned KTM.

Some great shots there Ian, like the Comara shots. Good to see that area again (I've missed for a few months). Wattle Flat is real pearl of a stop. Hard to beat it when its quiet. Seeing your Ebor shots I remember years ago someone told me Ebor would't tolerate a police officer in town, which is the only town I've ever heard of like that.
