National Gathering.

Would love to see a big EO gathering at Birdville.

Imagine the day trip to Big Red!

I'd go to either next year

jolly good idea - Keen as mustard !

As long as its not in the middle of summer when i'm @ flat out @ work count me in
winter is better up that way anyway i lived in N.T. for 4 years back in the early 80s
yes getting old
warren

Definitely Birdsville - being such a big part of Exploroz history.
I'm sure Ruth would love to have everybody stay with her, and we would certainly love to have everybody over for one night of frivolity, and would be happy to offer EO members an attractive deal on a three course meal (on top of the deals already available to members). Another night at the Pub....Unforgetable.

Hope everybody has a great summer anyway, and I'm sure we'll see some of you next winter.

Cheers

Definitely Birdsville, After all Ruth wouldnt have us anywhere else. I reckon I'd be innit

Sounds like a plan.....

I'm attending a national gathering next year with another forum at Cameron Corner. It takes a fair bit of organising with school holidays being different times in each state. Obviously needs to be as central as possible, able to cope with lots of people and preferably in the cooler months but avoiding the wet season.

Still sounds like a plan to me. The other forum have teamed up with the RFDS to raise some funds as well which I think is a great charity for 4wders to support.

Looks like we've got a party. So what are we talking about 05 or 06

count me in sounds great ,either the alice or birdsville ,if in birdsville every one caming in from the south or west could meet at JOHN,OS BOTTLO at MUNGERANNIE for a couple of v,bs or two and a relaxing swim in that nice pool for a day or two ,then we could all travel up to biirdsville together,jeez i,m getting excited all ready cheer,s GREENDOG

Ruth & Ian have a Park...
E O E O Oh

And forum members arrive before dark...
E O E O Oh

With a Nissan here, Rodeo there,
Here a Paj, there a Maz,
Nowhere a Toyota........

I've always said a national one would be a great idea seeing as every state now has had one or are having one and a good chance for Tassie and NT members to have some members come, it is hard for NT and Tas to have one seeing as they don't have alot of members, given the time it is a great plan. Who wants to put their hand up to organise it.

Baz. I'm in next year or whenever.

Which date.

Count me in

'06. Eastern states meet Birsdville, pick up others in Alice, everyone continues in in convoy through Kimberly. Group photo on Cable Beach.

Ok, I'll ask. What is the best time for this gathering. July 05 ?

I'm in for Birdsville anytime.

Count me in too, 05 or 06, Birdsville or Alice.

Hi all,
Would you like David and I to be there too? If so, we'd have to say we'd prefer 06, as our trips for 05 are pretty well planned. We're off to Tassie in a couple of weeks and its a big trip of 8 weeks, 11,000kms or so and so will use up all our options for time out of the office and money. Can't see us doing a desert trip in 05 at all unfortunately, but would like to attempt a big trip from WA to Qld in 06 so for us the Simpson (4th time) will just be the shortcut to get to Cape York!

David doesn't know any of that yet, I'm the navigator anyway - he just goes where I tell him!!! LOL :-)

I have to say it sounds pretty cool. Birdsville July 06.
