Western 4wd Goldfields trip 3

Hi Jeff hope you are all dryed out , we never got back to York until 7.00pm found some great areas to have a look at later on also got more rain and mud so a big clean up ,the mirror cost me $250 to replace and that was 2nd hand, who said Nissians were cheap for parts ? hope to see you both on the next trip will let you know details later on

That's bloody rude, $250 bucks!?! Bugger eh.
I can't see how they can possibly justify that amount of money for some plastic and glass.
Oh well, all I can say is I'm glad you were in front!! :-P
I'm looking at the secuirty cameras now and the surf looks like it's all rusty cos of all the red mud all over it!
It's a shame we had to jet it home early, but as it was by the time I dropped trent home and headed for my home it was 6:15pm. The traffic was terrible coming back through the hills into Sawyers.
Havn't had a chance to clean it all up yet, be a job for the weekend I think...
Let us know about the next one, you guys were great fun.
PS Tent and tarps and Rack sack are still drying! LOL.

Hi Pete , Thanks for EVERYTHING,you and Janet did for us uppys,we really enjoyed the trip. I didnt have school on Monday so i cleaned the school bus. Let us know when the next trip is happening.The boys want me to put the flag up, but I said that is only happening when we go camping with Pete. All the gear is still drying,Thanks again

Davoe,
The ridge with the views... ya talking about the Helena Aroura Range and Bungalbin Hill ? Terrific country eh.

Davoe , did you record the track ? would love a copy if you did
phewitson@westnet.com.au we were old that way last year and found some great bush tracks , went up the Helena and Aroura ranges fantastic views , see my trip plot on this site (Mt Jackson) Thanks

didnt record the track because I only have a etrex it was not just one track but a few we used including some we made I could not recomend taking the tracks we did except for yowie rocks road even this was quite overgrown in places the rest of the tracks comprised of abandoned exploration tracks which were hard to follow and we had to stop and find them again often. they were severly overgrown with little discernable difference between the rest of the bush and the cruiser was usd as a bulldozer to knock the jam bushes and small eucalypts that had reclainmed the tracks to retrace involved driving back over stakes that were now pointing at 45deg towards us so 12 ply rags were a must
the area we were covering was about 40-50k north east of the aurora ranges and you ould see them from the top of the ridge which had a highest point of 529m

Hi melissa as you mentioned peak charles recently and dunns track I did a post on what i found at easter didnt have long as it was only a stopover you may not have seen the post so if you are interested do a search using peak charles or melissa

Hi Davoe,

I didn't see your post as I haven't had much time to log on recently. Just searched through the archives for both Peak Charles and Dunn's Track but not getting any results returned. Seems very odd...

:o) Melissa

yea i couldnt even find my own post must be a glitch

try peak charles/ topic and body and archive - not both

Hi Brianm , this trip was my first go at using Moving maps also was really pleased with it , one small problem I did find is having too many WPTs marked on a small area you lost the pointer behind the labels a lesson learnt for later on .
