Mindful of Banjo Paterson’s opinion of the town, Mark Fosdick bypassed Booligal in southwestern NSW and set about exploring the general area. He found it filled with colonial history, amazing outback sights and some great riding.
The plan was to meet my two sons, Will and Mitchell, at One Tree, just north of Hay, NSW, then take three days to ride around the state’s southwest. Will was between bikes at the time, so provided the support vehicle and carried essentials such as extra fuel and a fridge. Mitchell had a KTM 350 which hadn’t seen a public road before this trip and required refitting the blinkers and numberplate.
