The best bit is it looks like I can just sit back now and watch this unfold.

My choice of bikes doesn't usually excite grown men quite that much... :D

I'm bringing the 88 and 89 KDXes. Might ask Marty to bring one of the 88 KX125s if he's got space.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

ANNOUNCEMENT FOR COOKARDINIA VINDURO

Unfortunately some bad news. I spoke with Murray yesterday and today and the decision has been made to CANCEL the event for 2016 due to the fact that the property is just to waterlogged and access is pretty

much nil. There will be NO vinduro 22nd October 2016.

As most of you have seen on the news much of NSW and Victoria are suffering massive flooding atm and whilst the rain has been long overdue for our farming communities, this kind of flooding has ruined thousands

of hectares of crops right as we approach harvest season.

We had hoped the property might have dried out over the past month, but with the continual rain it is actually got worse. Any attempt to access the property would destroy the lane way leading into the property.

Several of the paddocks that we were going to use are just to wet and cannot be used without causing irreputable damage.





On the flip side, we do have access to another property in the Holbrook area that we are considering using in 2017. It is approx 1000 acres with the possibility of running a proper 2 Day event and hard and easy

option loops. I hope to check out the property around christmas time and see what we can put together. At this stage we are thinking early to mid 2017 with Cooka also in Sept/Oct.

Once again I apologise for the inconvenience for those who have already made plans but we had to make the call now for those of you travelling great distances to the event. I will also send out an email to those

who have entered the event.


Regards
Brooksie.



Let's face it some dirt bikes were never meant to be ridden.

Well spoken.
I imagine we would all feel compassion for those effected by losses etc caused by the flooding.

On a positive a two day in 2017 sounds worthy of a small convoy from Newcastle. Would be great to catch up with some old and new faces. Good luck. I hope it falls into place for all your efforts.

Sad, but not unexpected. Its been just too wet.
Thanks for the efforts you've taken and looking forward to what next year brings.
Happy xmas all.

Heya Brooksie,

I'm sure that under the Circumstances everyone is all good about it, I've organised events in the past and I know how much unappreciated effort goes into them.

Thanks for the update and thanks for all the effort that you and your helpers have put in  ;)

Cheers

Lou

Cheers guys. Unfortunately it's just one of those things out of our control. I was hoping for a little rain to keep the dust down but not the amount that we received. I'm hoping 2017 will be a little kinder and with the possibility of two events would be awesome.
