EO GET TOGETHER (NSW)

G,day Athol,
Was great to get down to Illawarra again after so many years, has completely changed, was great to catch up with you, pity it wasnt the day before, could of had a few beer's. Sold my Hilux and am now a Patrol owner (GQ), no more dust and water in the camping gear. Windang Caravan Park was too confined for me, so wont be going there again. Next time im down that way, might try some tracks up the mountain like you said, catch you next time... Paul (paul2.8d)

Maybe a bit of Rum as well....

14, 15/8 is not firm trying to get ideas at the moment any weekend in Sep is a thought, also shouldn't be restricted to just one get together there is always the long weekend in October !!

Baz.

Yeh i'll be at Newnes will be good to catch up. I think 14,15/8 is short notice but might go down for a look around, lets try October long weekend any takers !!!

It's 320ks south/west of Syd and 100k south/east of Canberra about 6 to 7hrs from Melbourne, all states are welcome. Click on the link in the first post.

I think it's a go for the 14,15/8 for a look, i haven't been there either so should be good, then a another date for a second one to give others time to prepare and for people from other states who would like to come. Also this is a family thing, if you want a non family weekend that could be another get together. If anyone knows the area well and would like to come please let us know.

Baz.

Hi Baz,

Whether it's a family or non-family weekend doesn't bother us we just like getting out and about. We are kid friendly even though we don't have any tackers of our own.

I would like to go for a looksy the 14/15 as we are heading off in September for a 4 week journey to the Flinders and surrounds, so may not be around for the formal gathering.

Cheers

Oh Baz - looks like you need Member Messaging!!! Then you don't have to give your email address away like that - tee hee hee :-)

Hey Michelle, it's for the non members who wish to come, future members !!!

Hows the little one ?

Baz.

Sorry Baz,
Of course you're already a member - was I asleep at 11pm when I posted that or something? Obviously I couldn't see the button at the bottom of your post that says SEND MEMBER MESSAGE which regardless of the person's screen name saying Member - Name or not, this shows the person is a member as only members get the Member Message option automatically setup. Oh well, if I made the mistake then others may have too, so this shows others what they should be lookinng for to know if someone is a Member. My boo boo - big sorry.

On the baby front - "Gran" is here (visiting from Syd) to help me with the kids so I can mind the business. Chardae is now 3mths old, which I think is scary as it feels like a few weeks only, that goes to show you how quickly how adult lives must fly by.

ah yes but if he put his email in members message i wouldnt be able to email him hehehehehehe.

I know there will be a couple of camper trailers but i dont know about vans could be a bit steep for a van, not having been there before, unsure about taking a van i'll try and find out and let you know.

Baz.

UHF 18 is good, what time will you be getting to Moruya, could be a good meeting place for people with vans and campers and the ones without may want to come in from the eastern side.

We'll probably stay with friends in Moruya on Friday night so early (or not so early) on Saturday is good or are you looking to get there on Friday night? I wouldn't recommend some of those tracks at night. :-(

I'm happy to meet up with others in Moruya if that works. Let me know.

That should be western side not eastern as i put.

Hey Savvas, no prob mate drive down with us we could meet on the highway or KG Rd at Blakehurst.

Baz
As I am the 'author' of the Bendethera Trek note, I would like to attend. I haven't done the Araluen/Merricumbene track (I have mapped part - see Trek note), so I would like to 'map' and describe this section to add to the existing Trek notes.

'My' Club has done this trip a number of times - the trip last year required a lot of trees to moved off the track, so a chain saw is needed.
One member has taken a campervan out from Bendethera to the Cooma/Braidwood Rd without too much trouble.

It would be great if you could post a new message when a trip date is finalised.
Cheers
Colin

Hey Colin, the link on my first post goes to the trek notes that you wrote, I have those notes at home in conjuction with a map with the tracks hylighted, some are coming in from Moruya as well. come on down you are most welcome the more the merrier and your knowledge of the area will be good too, any of your club members coming.

Baz.

Will do greg, looks good for a few turning up.

From the west its better to go through Captains Flat.

I would be coming from Canberra, i have not been there as yet, just thought people coming from this way might want to meet up and travel together with someone who know's where they are going.

Cheer's Paul....

Everyone is welcome, even Victorians can come lol, it's on the coast off the Pacific Hwy at Moruya 3hrs south of Sydney, from the hume you would need to come through Canberra.
