Probably because for the last few years that is where it has been.
Mita is not far away - and a good ride too.

Hey Dave, good to see someone has picked up the ball and is running with it. Count me out for this one, I will be just getting back to Bris from a 5 week trip to Tassie. As much as I would love to turn around and head south again, it just isn't going to happen this time
Bugger, I reckon I would have had a good chance of winning the Postie Tyre Changing Challenge, as you know I got a lot first hand experience recently
Enjoy the meeting
Glen

Dave: Thanks for taking on the organizing. I definitely plan to be there. If you want I could give a talk on riding in Mongolia. I live in Canberra now but lived in Mongolia 2002-2006.

Mitta Mitta
G'day Dave,
I will still have a broken foot, so don't really want to camp. Is there any accommodation at the Rally?
Thanks.

Ummm the meeting is in March .. will it still be broken then (about 10 weeks time)? Or are you planing on having it broken for the meeting?
Apart form the pub there might be some 'onsite vans' or cabins at a local carravan park ..

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
