Another Yalwal Gathering???

Yup- I'd be in that.
As you say- gettin a bit close to the silly season..
Early into '08 would be good !!
Even for the Sydneysiders- it's now an easy run down there- and that new section sth of Albion Park should be finished soon.

G'day Kiwi aka Laura,

Seems I'll have to get a North West meeting of EO going cos all the gatherings seem so far from me here in Tamworth.

Up til the other day when Signman posted re gathering at Yalwal, I had never heard of the place but now, thanks to Google Maps, I know Yalwal is sort of west of Nowra. Same Google maps tells me it's about 590 k's from here and about 8hrs and 23 minutes drive so even if you good EO members get the "Yalwal" gathering I'll have to excuse myself.

I'll have to look about for some likely tracks around here and perhaps think about a more local one for members from NW NSW, Mid North Coast and Newcastle areas

Anyone from those areas have any ideas??

Cheers

I'd be in that. Have to be new year as you said. Been there once before and loved it.

Cheers Stefan

Laura,

I'll be up for it provided the date is OK. Been down there a couple of times.

I reckon I could make Yalwal in the Jack.... I would need an excuse to see parents at Nowra otherwise Sybil would insist on coming and she gets a mite nervous off the bitumen.
I spose this is for paid up members only so that would leave me out, damn....
Any updates on the progress of work on trunk 92????

Too many ferals go to the Dam camping ground at Yalwal, winter is the best time for that camping ground.

Charlyong crossing may be an alternitive or maybe Shallow crossing, more so for no ferals, it will still be crowded, but you get that at that time of year.

Baz.

Im in...dependant on roster. There is another camp ground on Deans Gap road if the dam is full, but no thunderbox. Nothing a shower tent and shovel wont fix...

Sounds like a goer to me! Even if I can only make it for the day!

HI All I won't be attending--- BUT happy to throw in a couple of ideas for you. I know Yalwal - for me it can be a bit feral and attracts quite a few rev-m-up dirt bikes. Nevertheless it does give good tracks through to the Braidwood Rd where you have the choice of following the Tiajara fire trail south through to Princes Hwy or west to Neriga and Oalen etc.

The Tianjara FT - Princes H option opens opportunity to visit Pigeon House and beyond it- Long Gully camp area. The Western Distrubutor is the main track throug here. It ultimately takes you through to Clyde Mtn Road and then to Batemans bay - then return up the coast. Such a trip allows several options for free camps on different days. My own suggestions are on the T-FT, long gully (or turn right 2km beyond) and along the WestD there are two creek crossings which offer reasonalbe camps.


Hope that's usefuil to you

Cheers

Chris

Well I'm as keen as mustard, Endrick River is great, infact all through there is good.... Lovely spots for some skinny dipping too...do keep me posted... Any single blokes going? I could "arrange" some "casual skirt" from Orient Point ROTFL

Hi Laura the fam and I would be up for it as long as it fits in with my work roster, havn't been down to Yalwal for 10yrs and will probably be hanging for a camp and drive by then.
