Odyssey 2004

Well back at the motel for a shower and we waited out
front for the courtesy bus to pick us up and take us out to the show
grounds. This was a well organised thing..the bus picked up at all the local
accommodation between 4.30p.m. - 6.30p.m. and then in the evening ran us all
back from 10.00p.m. 'til midnight. The dining hall was packed for Saturday
night dinner and a great social event with friends old and new.
Sunday was a "kick back" kind of a day and a grand parade had been organised
for a ride through town terminating at the markets held at the Gunsynd
memorial by the MacIntyre River which is the border between Queensland and
New South Wales in this part of the state. The towns people were very
supportive and again we felt like celebrities with people out in their yards
waving and lining the streets.
Well Monday came too quickly and we bid farewell to
Goondiwindi with some fond memories and treasured moments.
We decided to take our time on the home ward leg and rode north to Miles via
Moonie for some more sightseeing and then on to Dalby where we have friends
who manage the Dalby Mid Town Motor
Inn We stayed there with Paul & Wendy and caught up on all
their news.
Tuesday morning saw us only a couple of hours from home,
but we weren't in a rush and took in the Jondaryn Woolshed and Rimfire
Winery at Maclagan and headed for home via Cooyar-Yarraman-Kilcoy.
We had a great time and would gladly do it all over
again....good weather, good friends, good times...yep life's good and we
hope to keep the memories alive through this web site.
