PANORAMA MUSEUM RIDE

WITH SOUTH EAST QLD VJMC

ON SUNDAY JUNE 12 MEMBERS OF THE SOUTH EAST QLD VJMC TOOK PART IN A RIDE OUT TO THE PANORAMA MUSEUM AT ROADVALE ON THE TEVIOT RANGE NEAR BOONAH

The ride participants left the McDonalds car park at Yamanto and at the departure time there were 20 bikes with 22 people ready for the ride. Eric lead us west for a couple of kilometres before turning onto Middle Road at Purga. This is always an enjoyable ride through to Peak Crossing where we turned on to the Kalbar Road. We passed through Kalbar and then rode on to Roadvale and into the museum.

The Jaguar Car Club were also there and there was tea/coffee and scones included in the $10 admission fee. The museum has an extensive collection of motorcycles, cars, antiques and machinery on display. It is quite an interesting collection. Another two bikes joined us here from Toowoomba. Good to see you Fred.

The plan was to go to the Royal Hotel at Roadvale (the Roadie) for lunch however it is currently closed for renovations so we rode back through Kalbar and on to the Royal Hotel at Harrisville for lunch. This was an excellent choice for lunch with good food and tables along the verandahs, leaving the bikes in full view. The pub is under new management and they were keen to get photos of the bikes in front of the hotel and were very welcoming.

Thanks to Eric and Merilyn for a great day’s ride.
