The next morning in New Norfolk we woke up to another fine Tasmanian day. The sun was just up, not a cloud could be seen and the morning chill was prompting us to get out for coffee. The local bakery was already open so we sat down to a hearty breakfast and a strong caffeine hit in a mug. We were not the only ones out for adventure, a hot rod crew turned up so we checked out their machinery… 
but time waits for nobody and we wanted to make our way into Strathgordon Dam, besides, who cares about cars when we are on bikes and scenery such as this was waiting up the road?
random picture on a bridge crossing...
We stopped a few times on the way to Strathgordon Dam, either to refuel…
...now what?
to admire the scenery…
or just to watch Eric bust a move…
...Vanilla Ice eat your heart out..............WTF?
but we still don’t know why…let’s move on.
Before we took off into the distance, we spared a thought on our partners at home struggling with chores and wished we were there to give them a hand instead….
The road to Strathgordon Dam was long, twisty, smooth, picturesque, etc etc… you get the picture, but in case you don’t, here it is…
and what's even better...we did not see a car for hours
and just when we had enough (is there such thing?) of the winding road we pulled over to have a look at this: Lake Pedder. Words cannot express the beauty of this land, so I’ll say nothing and just let you enjoy it…
The excitement was just too much of all of us: Daniel’s head swelled up and he could put his helmet back on (true story)…
Eric, once again, showed us that He Believes!
...and the Lord said: "You are, once again, Welcome!"
and I, just this time, stopped admiring my bike and took another picture of the scenery
it's not a copy of the one above...you can find 5 things that are different!
However beautiful the landscape was, this wasn’t our destination…that was a few kilometres up the road. Once we managed to tear ourselves away and got back onto our bikes, we were there in no time…this is what awaited: 
and this…
Strathgordon Dam
It was time to play Japanese tourist again…
no no...You are da Man!
It was late afternoon and time to make our way back. We stopped for a nice feed on the side of the road… 
I did not share...
Over our meal we discussed the best methods we employ to keep it rubber side down. Some of us mentioned good tyres (wasn’t Eric) or just tip top condition of the bike (wasn’t Eric on this one either) …or…wait for it…. wearing his partner’s underwear for good luck…hmmm.
We swore to secrecy never to tell anyone who that person is however I leave you with this picture.
I'm saying nothing!
Cheers,
Till next time!
