In a few days we'll have Rossie,Collin,Nicky..even Sete down under for the Moto Gp race this coming Sunday...Waaah..Hooo!!!
We had a beautiful Spring day in Melbourne today so I rode down to the island a take some pics...here they are.
First stop...just a sign.
.
Next stop...just some cows near the giant worn attraction...
. 
.
Here's the end of the giant worm...last time I saw it it was plain brown..it looks like they've painted it up...with some Aboriginal art.
.
Just before getting to the island I stopped at nice little surf spot with this old wooden bridge.
.
This is up on top of the bridge looking south east.
.
Now looking south west...that's Phillip Island in the distance.
.
Just before going over the bridge to Phillip Island there's a small town called San Remo...and the best fish & chip shop around.
.
The sign said..don't feed the sea-gulls...now I know why...geees there must have been millions of them.
.
Someone must have dobbed me in for feeding them..sorry officer..
.
Once on the island my first stop was Islantis...one of the many surf shops...this one has one of those fake waves for a fun pic..so I did.
.
There was this big sign about the Moto Gp.
.
My first beach stop was Woolamai beach.
.
The next stop was Surfies Point...looking east towards Woolamai.
.
Now looking west towards Smiths beach...and pyramid rock off the point.
.
This is Smiths beach...and no...I didn't ride down onto the beach..almost
.
Another surf shop at Smiths...everybody surfs.
.
Next stop..the track.
.
Just up the road from the track is another great beach called Cat bay.
Looking back towards Flinns beach.
.
A little further up the road is a place called The Nobbies.
.
Here's the Nobbies.
.
Past the Nobbies...I needed a GS...but my RR was fine.
.
The end of the track...looking back towards the Nobbies.
.
Beautiful ocean..but it's Great White city out there.
.
In the Nobbies car park was heaps of cars,trucks,big trucks,film crew...and even Poilce...I asked the cops "What's going on"
He said the Japanese were filming a new car add...he pointed at the blue car in the back of the truck....
I was going to take a spy pic but thought it might be a bit rude in front of the cop.
I came back past for a sneak pic...and the car was gone.
But up the road here it was...with a film crew...at Cat bay car park.
It was a new VW....Passat...it didn't look much different.
.
Next stop was the main town on the island...a town called Cowes.
.
All the beaches on the back side of the island are like this..no surf..very borring.
.
Back in Cowes...the local pub thinks it's back in England.
.
In Cowes I saw this black RR like mine go past..I followed it to the local petrol station..had a chat..nice guy..a local..told him about this site.
.
Now I've hit the road to start my trip home.
.
Just up the road from Cowes I stopped at this nice looking old barn.
.
Here's what was in the back yard.
.
Next stop was this huge Koala.
.
Then a huge cow.
.
The bridge off the island to San Remo.
.
Wishing I had a GS again.
.
A big sign on the way home.
.
A big lookout that lets you see......nothing.
.
One last stop a the giant worm again..a few more pics...and I almost got pecked...Emu's they're nasty critters.
.
That's all fokes..
DJ
Enjoy the races. Thanks again.
