Brisbane's equivalent of Sydney's Royal Easter Show, except not at Easter.

We cant spell up here

That why our beer is spelt XXXX

G'day All, Thank you for the replies which make perfect sense. Apparently EKKA is some kind of acronym for Exhibition. You are spot on Matthew about the spelling bit. Cheers Tom

Confirmed that I'm not working....Woo Hoo!!..so I am in.

Cheers

Mick

Cheers Mick

cheers Matt , saw it after I asked the question ......DOH !

Well  what a day 

Started  with 5k bikes after filling up on pies and coffee from the a little country bakery

Then we head up over the mountains  zig zagging our  way from one side to the other over the great dividing range, I tried to get rid of the chicken strip off my tyres 

The following  photos were taken from Hookers on Bald Knob Lookout I would suggest that you don't  try to google the name   

Sorry about the name someone must have had a dark sense of humour when naming the palace

Who said that you need a GS to do dirt, you only need a bad sense of direction and a  little  bit of adventure  will lead you down these roads. Actually the dirt road was in better condition than the tar road that we would latter be travelling on.

Had a great day, with great laugh I even spat up my drink laughing so hard. 

Thank you Paul , Martin , Mick and Peter 

good to see , sorry I missed it

Great ride Matt is now the designated navigator for all future rides.
Regards Martin.

Great day out !! Thanks Matt for planning the route. 2nd the motion that you be navigator for all future rides....also official timekeeper I reckon !!

It was only 5 minutes of Queensland  time  out of our way    

Sorry I missed the ride, it sounds like you all had a great time, certainly better than trimming trees like what I as doing.
