Hey all,
Well me and the missus had a week off this week so we went up nth to tea gardens/hawks nest area had beautifull weather all week except for tue,
Went for a drive a little further north and stumbled upon a town called Nabiac and visited the Australian motorcycle museum.
It was pretty cool they had so much stuff there to look at.
Here are some pics.

Did you do the BBQ dinner & a Movie thing ?? Brian loves those, but generally only flames up the barbie for larger groups......he was my main bike dealer here for years and years...........A lovely bloke.
He has at least as many bikes again out in the *preperation* area

She's a great museum. Can't remember if it has 200 or 400 motorcycles in there- seems like 400 anyway. Entry is good too- first three bikes you pass are RG500, RZ500 and a schmick Katana.

Brian used to own the caravan park across the road as well as the museum, and used to do group bookings for m/cycle clubs for overnighters. It was pretty cheap from memory............I am not sure if he still owns the c/park, but its just a walk across the highway.........
The local pub also has a *fantastic* seafood night on Friday nights, done it a couple of times now, I reckon 3/4 of the population of Nabiac must have been there
It would be a great overnighter for NSW members, its a fair haul up the coast, but if you got away at 0600, you could be having a beer in Nabiac before lunch......
