Here are a few pics of my Cameron Corner trip on the longest day of 2010, the 21st of December. A group of adventure dirt bike riders made the trip from all parts of Qld Nsw and Vic to see how far west they could get between the first and last light times for their start and finish locations.

 

I decided this year to leave the bike in the shed and take the Jab instead as some of the tracks looked a bit iffy. The water on the way down was amazing. If anyone gets the chance to head to the corner, Fenn and Cheryl will look after you well. It was an amazing trip and I'm already planning going a bit further next time to the Flinders and other lakes.

Those are brilliant, good choice to go by air I reckon, all that mud n water would wear a bit thin after a while on a bike. Looks like a great outing.

Great set of pics Sean.

 

It is amazing to see all that green as far as the eye can see and so much water.

 

Luckily the pic #20 clearly shows that you are enjoying a lemon squash!

 

Thanks for sharing,

 

Cheers

Hi Relfy,

 

Nice set of pix. Looks like a great trip. Particularly like the plane parked with the utes in front of the pub!

 

Cheers

I got a bit nervous when the goat was running around the plane chasing a dog but hey, that's all part of being in the bush! Fenn suggested that he would make a perpetual trophy for the aircraft next year to go alonside the adventure bike one for the longest travelled by aircraft. He told me I won this year and presented me with a little prize but did make it clear that it was only by default as i was the only a/c there.

 

Incidentally, the motorbike that won came from central VIC! Mostly muddy dirt roads the whole way. Tougher than I I'm afraid.

 

Perhaps this could become the iron-man of fly-ins?

Fantastic gallery of the bush Relfy.

 

I so want to get out there myself.

 

I rode a trail bike to Cape York many years ago with a big bunch of mates, and they,re all talking about doing a 20 year reunion trip to maybe Camerons corner.

 

I,ve already said that I,ll take all the aerial photos they want. theres no way I,m goin on the bike these days thankyou very much :)

 

your pics have convinced me of that !

Sounds great Steve, let me know when you are going and I'll meet you there! It's a great spot and if a heap of aircraft and bikes turned up from all over, I can only imagine the stories at the bar that night!

Sounds like a plan!

 

No immediate dates at this time. Or confirmed destination.

 

I think we,ll have to wait a year to let the place dry out some.

 

I,ll definatley let you know
