OZZIE ROAD TRIP

On the 14th of June 2008 at 10am, Joe Cambell, pictured above on right, started his Motorcycle Trek around Australia.

Commencing from the Christian City Church at Oxford Falls in Sydney, his ride is to raise awareness of Youth Suicide here in Australia.

He is travelling clockwise and is currently near Mackay in Northern Queensland where Social Motorcycle Club, EASYRIDERS AUSTRALIA s.m.c are taking care of him.

"Mutley", (left) from the Mackay Chapter of Easyriders, has given Joe a" feed and bed for the night" before riding with Joe part of the way South in the morning.

Other motorcyclists are invited to ride along with Joe during his "downhill" journey back to Sydney.

Those Motorcyclists wishing to ride along with Joe Cambell can join in with the Ipswich Easyriders on Sunday the 20th of July at 9.30am

from the BP service station at Blacksoil (Toowoomba bound). A few of the Easyriders will ride off from the BP to rendezvous with Joe on the road.

All riders are welcome to ride along, meet Joe and show support for this great cause.

Joe Cambell with 9 well wishers. (Sunday 20th July)

It was great to meet up with Joe on the downhill run back to Sydney after travelling some 10,000 km on some of the best and worst roads Australia has to offer. Ipswich Easyriders and friends met with Joe on the Bruce Highway before riding with him to his son and daughter inlaws home for very pleasant afternoon tea. Joe continues his trip on Tuesday the 22nd of July. Those wishing to catch up with him can view his schedule at www.ozzieroadtrip.com .

Have a safe and enjoyable journey home Joe!

Australia Day

JANUARY 26th 2008

Again leaving from Yamanto at 10am, a few of us rode into Southbank for the Flag Raising Ceremony.

It was an 'easy ride' down and was a good opportunity to sus out Hooch's new 1583 cc Street Bob.

What a fantastic bike they are. He had changed from the standard pipes to some nice looking Vance and Hines. Awesome tone, not too loud, but load enough to hear him coming. Overall a great bike.

Once at Southbank we worked our way to the Flag Court area and blended in with the crowd.

It seems they set everything up backwards as the "special guests" tents were set up infront of public audience

blocking the view of the proceedings. Quite odd.

One small interruption to the military ceremony was a small group of protestors. I hope they are aware that the freedom they have to hold such a protest, was fought for by the same people(military) that they were trying

to upset.

Around noon there was a 21 gun salute from the Roma Street parklands about a km away that I didn't hear?

They said something about a lesser charge this time?

But one hilight was with the toddler in front of me, who i am sure was playing a game as he kept dropping his hat and flag for me to pick up, he nearly messed his pants when the F1-11 did a low fly by. Brilliant effect.

We then headed up to the middle of the park when we heard a womans voice say" EASYRIDERS, they must be new" as we walked through the crowd. :-)

Afterwards we had a quick bite to eat and a stroll through the markets before getting back on the bikes and heading to Oxley for debrief coffee.

Again thanks for the good company.

Rosevale Retreat

Sunday 11 November 2007.

About 22 of us left Yamanto at about 10am and arrived at Moogerah in time for the 1 minute silence at 11am.

From there we then headed towards Mt Edwards an into Boonah for a short break and coffee at Flavours.

Once again we took to the quiet country roads and worked our way to the fabulous "Rosevale Retreat Hotel" for Lunch.

Lovely Place, a lot of work has been done out the back. The new owners have jacked up the prices a bit so be wary.

A little rain on the way home but not enough to spoil the day.

All in all a Great day with Great company.

Our thanks to our guests on the day, Greg, Ado, Amanda and our mother hen Gloria. -Lazza
