OUR latest High Country jaunt started in the small historic township of Woods Point. It’s pretty hard to believe today, going on its small rustic size, but within three years of it being established in 1862 by Henry Wood, who set up a store here to service the workers and their families at the nearby Morning Star gold mine, the town had 36 hotels! Today, it rates just that many permanent residents.
With us was Michael Ellem in his well-set-up 79 Cruiser, and also along for the ride was Michael’s Sandy 60 and Alan Johnson’s mighty little Suzuki. While Editor Matt drove the Suzi.
