Spring Run to Comboyne

19 September 2017 / Words & Photos by Wayne Lang

A small group of our Mid North Coast Chapter members got together for a short day drive out to Comboyne. Attendees were Graham Rochester, Greg Cox, Peter Rodgers, Margaret and Murray Osborne, new perspective member, Simon Abell, Cath and myself.

We all met up at our usual starting point at the "Port Service Centre" at around 9:45am for a 10:00am start. Our first stop was just down the road at "Waterman’s Café" in Wauchope for morning tea. After leaving there we headed up the Oxley for the short run out to "Long Flat", but after coming across several sections of roadwork, it was decided to turn back. So off we went until reaching the turn-off that would take us up some nice Twisties to the sleepy village of Comboyne. On the way there, Greg's and our car barely avoided some fallen rocks that were in the middle of the road.

We met at our agreed destination at the "Ruby's Café" to have lunch, where we sampled some tasty treats like "pulled pork rolls" or a "pepper pie". We got to talking to a couple who had the misfortune of hitting the rocks I was speaking of earlier, in their Mercedes and needed to call a tow truck to get them back into town as it had punctured a tyre and they had no spare.

Then it was time to part way with our little convoy and head back to our separate lives until we meet again for another of our escapades. Until then, good health and happy trails to you all.
