Because there ended up being so many bikes involved (by Australian standards) we split into two groups allowing the hosts of the run to head both sections - this was the start of the first - those of us in the second wave decided not to wear helmets for the whole trip - What were the cops gonna do - stop all of us??

From start to end - the bikes took 4 1/2 hours to pass in one single motion

My mate George (RIP) - last ride we did together before he was so thoughtlessly killed in a hit and run - glad i pushed ya mate to go as it was your last run and for that I shall never forget

I don't profess to be an expert just someone with a lot of photos and her own story I wished to share, encouraging an interest/affiliation in Australian Military Next Of Kin issues - not all written material has formal approval and will be removed by complaint

In memory of and with utmost respect to all fallen heroes
