Lynne and I had decided to spend a night at the Old Quindanning
Inne and put the idea out to the AVCMC.
The 16th had arrived with the temperature gauge rising, and a
few thunder clouds to follow us. By the time 1pm came around 14
motorcycles had arrived, including sidecars and some towing
camper trailers.
As we approached Byford there were road works that blocked off
one lane and a car driver had not noticed that there was Ron on
his Honda ST1100 with a trailer that needed to merge. There was
a minor altercation, the car received a scratch, Ron’s bike went
over, words were exchanged, no skin off, Mrs Burgess had to lend
a helping hand.
The run up Del Park Road was great, the temperature dropped by
1C, stopping at Dwellingup for a cool beverage, banter and
bullsh*#t. Another 2 bikes joined us here and after we hydrated
we headed off down the hill to the Inne.
Jim, riding a Triumph Rocket, blew a tyre on his trusty camper
trailer. The tyre pressure kept climbing due to the heat of the
road. Steve and Ross helped Jim to put things right.
As we arrived into Quindanning the heavens opened and a good
drop of rain fell, after about 10 mins the sun came out and the
temperature went back up making for Darwin-like conditions.
A good feed, cold beer, more banter and OLD stories, lots of
laughs made for a good night under the stars. The camper
trailers set up in the car park just as a group of Harley riders
came in. It was good to see more bikes parked than cars.
The next morning a country breakfast was served while the happy
campers packed up and went on their merry way into another hot
day. A big thank you to Neta and the staff at the Quindanning
Inne for great hospitality - we will be back.
Steve & Lynne.
