I was able to get a ride in yesterday/ today. Still not complete, ran into some bad weather and got slowed down. Not able to get to the finish by closing time but will be there first thing in the morning to sign off of this ride.

Just surfaced, boy I really needed that extra long kip!
Spot on Gatey. Zadows Landing has a post code: http://auspost.com.au/postcode/suburb-index/z and a terrific little place although, no amenities of any kind for that all important receipt. Dig down in our SPOT link and it clearly marks Zadows Landing. Yep, took plenty of pics as prood we were there.
To the ride, this ended up being one tough ride, last 300 odd km ridden in the most appalling conditions but completed with less than hour to spare. More to come...

That's bad luck but at least you got to go for a ride
Congratulations on a great ride, don't know what you guys mean about bad weather, haven't had a chance to get outside, the work air conditioner says 23 degrees
Im of the opinion that this ride probably supposed to be just a bit harder and the Z question has been the key.
Some of the Z's have an actual place with a town name each entrance and even if the post office is defunct it might have a shop.
But lots of the Z's dont have much regardless of state. Some have lots of houses but no shop or ATM. others have nothing much and a couple have all.
Im happy with the SPOT and photo and text thing as its worked on some other of the very big rides done by the big dogs.
Sooo can I suggest that some thinking caps go on a few heads to sort the W.A. specific issue out as other states have plenty Z's to choose from even if the Z is over a border next door.
My thingking is. Does a place,unit name, naval base, air base memorial or place of special and relevent significance exist in Western Australia that could be an option to the non dirt riders so they can also partisipate.
Come on WAIBA's lets all do some homework on this.

I had thought of the Z Force 2nd world war training area on Garden Island Western Australia but the closest you can get to that is the security section before you cross the bridge on to Garden Island! Still thunkin'
Found a z Force memorial in Rockingham http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMP2VK_Z_Force_Memorial_Rockingham_Western_Australia

Z Force was the first place that came to mind as I typed that post above. Every and all defence site is now much harder to enter and even taking a photo of the front gate will get you some angst.
But Im know that a direct letter to the senior most officer via your own local RSL will open a door or two.

Ok, so since It was not possible for me to attend the ANZAC service and meet the rules of the ride, I will give you my Z as I don't need it any more.

It has a post code thus it exists... Go to Kalbarri, get a docket and a pic at the Zuytdrop memorial lookout
The pleasure is all mine
. Actually my preference is Zuccoli 0832 NT, April would be a beaut time of the year for north ride.
