To say I'm humbled, surprised and overwhelmed is an understatement. I am also honoured, gobsmacked and stunned that so many people feel the way they do in setting up these threads, petitions and other courses of action you are all undertaking. I didn...

Some more! Yes please. Another photo from Michael taken on his trip to the MototGP. Between Kiewa and Kergunyah, Victoria.

Here are the last of the Postcards from Michael's trip down to Victoria for the MotoGP. Thank you mate for sharing these with us. Thanks heaps for stopping and taking these as I know you had to resist the throttle wrist on those great bike roads just to stop and get the camera out for us. This shot is of a beautiful part of central Vic. in an area known as Happy Valley, I call it world class motorcycling country. I passed lots of bikes here and we all waved to each other enthusiastically. The Snowy Mountains , about 40-50kms to the south-east, between Corryong and Tumbarumba. London, Paris....... Wombat , between Cootamundra and Young .

Michael not only rides a great bike, (hey I am biased) but he takes some really great photos. Here is two more form his ride to the MotoGP. The start of the 35 kms from Whitfield to Mansfield, 20 of which are sharp corners. The road abruptly goes up a big mountain range then slopes down slowly, the highest part is often cold and foggy. Just below the top of Mt. Hotham .

On the road to the MotoGP. As I said last night Michael likes to travel on country back roads. This is a great mood photo. Yes that is the same Traveller that went to Finland. The old bridge over the Murray on the border near Tooma.

Our roving Traveller rider, Michael Barnes, went to the MotoGP last weekend. Lucky guy. He took photos of this trip. He didn’t use the Highways but lots of country back roads. He had a safe trip there and back. As he sends them to me I will post up the photos from his trip. Here are some from the Island itself. The seagull security squad ensured there were no more incidents involving thrill seeking penguins. Southern end of the circuit. Much louder and much faster than they appear on TV.
