Our Trip to Murwillumbah via Billinudgel last Sunday, 16th August

... by Neil

Quite a large group - around 20-odd bikes and 30-odd persons - left Seaside this beautifully warm and sunny day for a meeting at the Humble Pie factory at Billinudgel.

      hey c'm'on .....

                                                                                                                                                ..... tell us where  we're going

vell first ve go zis vay ....

.... zen ve go zat vay

First we went over Missingham Bridge and stopped at Skennars Head for a group photo. Or two.

Then we proceeded North along the coast road and turned off just short of Byron to head East on Bangalow Road. Through Bangalow, North on Friday Hut Rd (or was it Bina Burra Rd, or was it Springvale Rd, ... or was it ... I dunno, ask someone). (Not lost, though - been here before sometime.) Anyway, I think we ended up on part of Federal Rd and / or Goonengerry Rd, and then that part of the Coolamon Scenic Drive that goes into Jubilee Ave and Dalley St at the south end of Mullumbimby

(a hahhh, ... now I Know where we are)  ..... It was very pleasant little run, and nice scenery, too.

Then through Mullum along Dalley St, left on Tincogan, across the little yellow bridge into Coolamon, and left past the little church into Main Arm Rd. Along Main Arm Rd for about 9 Km, where we stopped to look at the front gate to the Davis' place (that just happens to be the front gate to my place too, by the way, but no one mentioned that. Oh well ......). After a five or so minute chin wag we continued: across the causeway and right into The Pocket Road, and along that for about 9 more Km., and then we were at Billinudgel and the Humble Pie factory. Food at last.

some mug shots .....

                        and 

After consuming quantities of delicious pies and great coffee (this is not a cash-for-comment ad), the gathering turned its attention to the business of the meeting: discussion of up-coming events.

In brief, the agenda covered some arrangements for the Tasmania rally, the Poker (Rolling Dice) Run, the Stanthorpe Winery Tour, the 20th reunion come Xmas party and a few other things plus the usual kind of waffle. I'll leave the details for the respective Officer's reports.

.... and guess who also came for morning pie and coffee ...

he (she)'s a long time resident here.

After the pie break - on to Murwillumbah for lunch. Or so we thought. Instead, we were taken straight past Murwillumbah and on to the Tumbulgum pub (but no one told Gai & Ronnie that this would happen).

(Guess who turned up there after lunch, shortly before we were all leaving??)
