We awoke to the sound of a helicopter taking off near the lake. Lovely setting beside a lake surrounded by trees to the water and huge mountains covered in a mist which we were about to ride into. Steve Kavanagh was going like a bat out of hell trying to get his engine rebuild before we left. The usual Steve Kavanagh maintenance system. 1. Find a rally 2. Find a remote location. 3. Find a problem with engine. 4. Rebuild in record time and presto!! you have the day 3 "tassie tosser" award. Steve actually bonded with the jester on the sash and renamed him Bob.
Anyway the rest of the day went smoothly. After Steve caught up to most of us in the tiny town of Zeehan about 25 kms away his wife had a flat tyre on arrival. No problem for Steve. As usual the local garage had everything he needed.
Zeehan was a quaint little town. Not much happening, lots of shops closed but Eamon found a fantastic skate park to keep him busy for a while.
Peter Parsons blew another head gasket and resorted to riding Jim's chief and Rod Leihman blew his starter motor but no problem just push starts from now on.
Next stop was a great little seaside town of Strahan. We had lunch there and spent a few more hours. Some people Ian Pride and his wife went on a seaplane for a trip around the area.
Our morning view in Tullah (beautiful place)

Garry and Jenny Maskell from Shepparton. First maiden tour for their bike
Tim Randall came from the Uk for the tour and also the Uk & Ireland Tour
Rob and Lorraine Bonner pictured with thei sidecar that Rob lovingly made for Lorraine and just finished in time for the tour.
Strahan Woodworks was another favourite for many of us. Then it was off to our motel for the night at Queenstown. Had a good meal and another nights sleep for the next day.
