This page is aimed to share some statistics regarding the Ulysses Club as a whole and more particularly some insight into the history of the Central Highlands Branch.

The group was founded in 1996 when a younger Jim Gundry co-ordinated with the National Committee to form a local branch.  The first meeting was held on 10th July 1996 at the Swiss Mountain Hotel in Blampied where 29 interested motorcyclists gathered.  Today we have a healthy number of subscribers in excess of 120.
