OK, the 14th, 15th of August is the weekend that seems to be the one, the place Bendethra Valley in Deau NP 320Ks south of
Sydney. I'm either going early Sat morning and coming in via Moruya with my camper, i am hoping to get to Moruya around 8.30am if any of you would like to meet at Moruya and drive in with us or meet in
Sydney at Blakehurst and drive down with us just let us know. UHF 18 will be used for communicating with each other.
There are 3 ways to get in.
1. The easy way suitalble for Campers and
well set up Van's. This is from Moruya.( the shortest in time)
2.The next is via the Snowball Road, not all that hard but does have a tight hairpin bend that would make it difficult for trailers.(It comes in from the west & bit over an hour 1/2 from
Braidwood)
3. The best of the 4WD tracks in, and the longest in time is the Merricumbeane? Fire Trail, it starts not far south of Araluen.( can take half a day with a group)
A couple of good meeting spots are
Braidwood, Moruya and Captains Flat. Thanks Tony, aka Well55.
I will be ringing NPWS to keep you updated on track conditions and weather in the area.
So far between 8 and 12 parties will be going.
Oh make sure you rug up it's going to be cold.
Most important of all, drive safe and hope to you all there, waahooo can't wait.
Baz.

Based in
Canberra so will come in from the west late am sat as son works fri night.
Did the
treks as per Colins notes in March and found them excellent.Camped at the old homstead last time Heaps of room there also love those long drops, beats digging holes and squatting any time.
Intend to exit via Araluen on sunday.
