EML just look out for those gates of Wivenhoe opening  ;D
And the dam is about to burst......according to a warning sent to Mutley.


They are saying its only the smaller dams on other creek/river systems.
Its like fire, they have got to warn people and give them a choice these days  :-\  ::)

They got a call just after 5.00 this morning to say Awonga Dam, up-stream from Gladstone is full and they are expecting heaps more rain, so be prepared to move.
He's got his boat tied up outside :)

How was the trip Simo?

Awesome Firko.  Back in the normal swing of things though and becoming a distant memory already (not helped by my alzheimers either I must say)  ;D

Well I got the wet weekend part right.....hasn,t let up raining at all....thinking of calling Noah :D
Got into heaps of trouble reading too many old mags but made a start on catalouging them
Found the 1st 3 Trail and Tracks ever printed!!!
So many old race reports......some bloke named Barry Marshall was reporting even way back then.
Anyway, will post up a list as it comes to hand.
Yes jonnyo there is a report of the very 1st Kawa 250 mx and of the 125 though the pic has become some kids bedroom poster, the full spec sheet is intact.
