Armidale

i was told to make sure to get a house with a wood heater...

Worked for Mussolini...

im told the road between armidale and coffs is tops.. as well as a few roads
ive been on up north to get to me folks house in tweed heads...

I loved the bikemosphere up their, bikes everywere, does that mean the local
car drivers giveway to em since their almost outnumbered?

 

Orwell too. "What are you talking about? There was never a high
crime rate."

..au:

The road from Dorrigo to Bellingen (en-route from Armidale to Coffs)
is a good-un. "Dorrigo Mountain" it's called. All bitumen, all bendy,
all downhill (unless you're going the other way, then it's all uphill!).
The other road from Dorrigo to Coffs (via) is great fun in a small car
(I mean Datsun 1600 or equivalent!), not sure I'd take it on with a
bike though (unless the bike was a GS or a TDM or something to that
effect!)!

GB, it's been a long time since I've done the Dorrigo to Armidale bit,
so I don't really remember. Given the general propensity for roads
in that neighbourhood to be fun, I'd say your info is correct!

Yeah... you probably enjoy getting all "buissier" don't you?

No, like the NSW state government, he redefined what "on time" meant.

Oh, and cut the number of trains....

How very circular...

 

You need to know a bloke that has relos in the timber industry, that own
properties in the Armidale area.

Or at least track down 1 Jamie Mackintosh

 

ill write that down

 

So...ummm.. go up the road to Ebor instead!

My firewood is free. I do have to cut it up myself though. If I'm frugal
there's enough dead timber in the backyard for maybe 40 years.

Im more looking at roads that go somewere, go out to the beaches, or up to
tweed heads were my folks are.

 

Thats the stuff - have to explore the area, half the fun of moving.

Sounds like theirs a lot better roads than here.

we got the sturt highway, east or west, flat strait, nothing to see, doesnt
really go anywere i wana go either.

 

Don't forget the Bruxner and Gwydir. The Tabulam - Bonalbo - Urbanville -
Killarney way is a bit how's ya father but the boring/bumpy bits just make
the good bits better!

 

Strange that no-one has mentioned Thunderbolt's Way as a ride from Armidale.
Apart from the Oxley and the Waterfall Way, there are numerous backroads
that can be travelled from there. I spent a week there recently. Try the
roads out through Yarrowyck, or the backway through Kentuck and down to
Walca Road (unique pub made from an old rail motor - the original pub burnt
down and is being rebuilt). The reverse cycle airconditioning is the way to
go as it gets bloody hot there in summer as well as brass monkey weather in
winter. Gotta watch the fog in the early morning as well.

That'd be Yarrowitch, Kentucky and Walcha Road I think. Walcha Road pub
do excellent meals btw (or at least they have been for about 10 years
and were still doing so 12 months ago)
