Today started with the Tosser award? Yes it went to Rod for his fire escapade in his 44 Chief the day before but todays went to Darryl and Bronwyn Jenkins for lock tighting a screw on his carby which caused a few issues.
We all went in different directions again. Some took the route to Launceston and stopped at the Car and Bike Museum. There were also some great wineries along the way.
Some of us took the short way straight to Georgetown then across the bay over the Batman Bridge to see Seahorse World and Platypus House.
The Beaconsfield Mine Museum was a great place to visit and had lots of info and interactive buttons which showed how the mine worked.
The weather was beautiful blue skies once again and everyone was still madly searching for an outfit for the big event tonight, "our fancy dress farewell party"
Sue and Mick met up with Toni and Peter in the local Vinnies store in Georgetown madly looking for outfits for those who didnt have time to get.
Beauty Point was a lovely bay to visit with all the yachts anchored and few lovely places to eat and view the bay.
Once at the Georgetown Pier Hotel everyone gathered once again in the pub to recap the days events.
This morning also involved a photo shoot on the grass with the water and bay behind.
Also some of the Sydney guys discovered that they were in the local Examiner newspaper this morning with a great pic of about eight bikes.
However the absolute highlight for our night was our farewell dinner party which turned out to be quite a shocker. We were all dressed mainly sixties style but there was some great outfits. Only the pictures can describe the scene. However, Lyndal was a hit with her Lola outfit and character and received an award for her dress. Garry Maskell got an award for his hippie outfit and there were lots of men who turned out in drag,
Peter Parsons received a bottle of red from the kitchen staff as they said it takes a lot of guts to come dressed like that.(a lemon uniform dress)
All the back up drivers(Sue,Kylie, Debbie & Elaina )received Huon pine cheese boards for their help. Rachel received a bottle of fine wine.
There were also awards for the mechanical nurses who helped who were Rod Barker, Jim Parker, Peter Van Stralen, Steve Kavanagh , Peter Parsons, and Harry Cutts. Without these guys a few people would have been off their bikes for the rest of the trip.
The three amigos also received a memorial photo as did Steve Kavanagh for the hard luck award. Rod Leihman received one for his tosser efforts. Bianca Bonner received one for having successfully ridden the oldest bike without any problems as well. Overseas guests Wanda, Lamont, Jorgen and Catarina all received an aussie gift.
Left: Lamont & Wanda from Iowa. Friends of Jim's and now all of us. Lamont dressed as an Aussie with boomerang in his pocket.
