I was intending to go on my own to the Broadford Bonanza which is a weekend of all bike styles scrambles, enduro , trials, sliders , speedway and road race from our Australian bike history held at the Motorcycling Australia Complex at Broadford . The boss said she would like to go so off we went for a weekend of camping and bikes . What else is there in life.We arrived Friday 4.00pm and camped with the dirt bike riders . Saturday morning found us having breakfast and watching the sun come up on the hill overlooking the road race track ( how romantic ladies ) As the day started trailers arrived with old bikes and older rider reliving there racing days etc. The pits filled with English singles , twins from the era they ruled the race track and the yellow peril two strokes that came and conquered in the end . Italian bikes had a good presence as well. I've put a heap of pics into photo bucket http://s64.photobucket.com/albums/h169/ ... nanza2010/ with the pass word guest1 for you to look at etc. Allen Cathcart made a guest appearance doing laps to give us a international flair. For the melb based riders if you didn't go GET THERE next year and see our history and some great bikes. I seen about 10 Rex's in the spectators area and 1 cafe Rex from this site but no rider.

Awesome photos Bob, thanks for sharing. Looks like it was motorcycling heaven.

Thanks Bob, photos are very evocative. The McIntosh reminded me of Roger Freeth's efforts at Bathurst.

Yes, it was a great event - went up on Saturday but forgot the camera, so thanks Bob! Saw an interesting 'fighter trx with fcrs, 2-1 pipe, 750 (i think) swingarm, fireblade forks and a hyosung(!) tail! Some pretty cool sidecar speedway sliding too! It's definitely worth checking out if you can get to it.
