Is there any chance of being a standby/maybe volunteer? Does that make sense? I'm just about to get started on my round-oz trip on an xr600, but I don't and won't have a definitive plan or itinerary. I've got an idea I might be in Vic doing a bit of farm work or something in Feb, but not definate. If I am, then I'd fancy coming to the festival and wouldn't mind doing a spot of volunteer work to save a few $$.

Well that sounds like a great plan. I need plenty of volunteers ...
So yes, I'll put you on the volunteer list. Send me a private message with your details, if that's OK. Just let me know when you roll into town that you are there.

Hi Joe,
That's great news. We need volunteers Saturday and Sunday morning afternoon, so if you can't make it until Saturday afternoon, I'll put you down for Sunday morning? I really appreciate the help and I reckon that this will be the best year yet, by quite a margin.
Thanks,
Shane

Great Joe,
I've got you and Carmel down for the first shift, which in theory, should start at 9:00 AM. So if you could be there at 8:50, just to cater for setup and early birds that would be great. I'm hoping to get enough volunteers for two-hour shifts only.
Thanks again and looking forward to ctaching up with you both.

I've got a bit of spare time and haven't fully made up my mind but I would like to head down through Eden along the NSW coast down to Gippsland and then doubleback to Bright. I also need to be in Bright by the Thursday.
So I'll probably leave on Friday 7 Feb 2014 and take my time. Open to ideas of places to see and stay.
Regards,
Shane

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.
