I attended the Spag Rally last weekend at Edi Cutting camp ground. Great turn out, 250+ bikes of all kind, Guzzi in particular funny enough. I was the only Ural but there were a few other sidecars.
I took a slight detour getting there by taking the back roads from Mansfield to Tolmie via Barwite. The only dirt was the Tolmie-Mahaikah Rd, but then I took the Tatong-Tolmie Rd which started out a bit rough but eventually became smooth dirt. At Tatong I took the Tiger Hill Rd, not noticing I needed to turn onto Odea Rd. Riding along blissfully unaware that I was on a loop back to the Tatong-Tolmie Rd. After enjoying the scenery/ride I realised the sun was on my right shoulder when it should have been on my left, uh-oh, this isn't right. Luckily I had reception and saw my error, back track to Odea Rd and heading in the right direction. A few more missed turns and I made it to the Rally just before dark.🤗 I'm tempted to go back and try a few more of those tracks, as there are a few camping spots all through there.
