Hello from Deniliquin
It has been many years since I’ve been able to greet you from Deniliquin.
Long-time readers would remember that I spent some time working at 1521 2QN in 2008 and 2009 and often posted stories about things happening in Deni and sometimes stories of my time at 2QN as well.
Well, it’s 2QN which brings me back to town again. Not to work, but rather because the station is 90 years old this year. Local historian Ian Lea has written a book about the history of 2QN and a launch is being held for the book at 2QN’s studios tomorrow afternoon, followed by an afternoon tea and a tour of the studios. It will be interesting to see if ACE Radio have painted the studios since I worked there…it was painted once in my time there.
The weather forecast looked acceptable so I decided to take the bike. It was very warm for most of the trip and I was practically melting when I got to the takeaway in Urana, but all of this changed closer to Jerilderie where a little bit of rain appeared. After Jerilderie a storm front approached and I encountered very strong crosswinds which made riding quite challenging, and then the rain. The heaviest of the rain was south of me but it was heavy enough anyway. I actually found the rain had got in and made my indicators somewhat erratic when I got to Deni. This was all sorted once I stopped undercover briefly at the motel to check in. Just enough time to dry out I suppose.
It was an enjoyable ride anyway, despite the end of the ride being more challenging than I expected.
