G`day all you good people.
I have been a long time Snooper, some time Visitor and part time contributer to this great site.
Now that I am a member, having won the fishy photo competition, I suppose I had better become involved.LOL
For a while now I have been thinking about going to Innamincka however because the Treasurer does not want to go I have been a bit worried about travelling alone.
If however someone from Victoria who is going to the national gathering is travelling via the Calder Highway , Mildura , Broken Hill ,Cameron Corner etc. and would not mind me tagging along behind, at about 90 kph, I might still take the risk.
The date is not important so if you could let me know if you can.
I will be dragging an off road c/van so I will not be breaking any speed records.

I reckon it would be a great trip and to meet "fellow" (do you like that) members would be a big bonus.

I am yet to learn how to use the members message system but I will have a go soon.
Cheers

Scrubcat.

I don`t know where i`m going but i`m enjoying the journey.

I'll be meeting up with my brother from Adelaide at Menindee on the 8th July, then heading up to Tibooburra and across to the corner b4 heading up to Innamincka, arriving on the 11th July.

You're welcome to tag along if you like - I'll be towing too, so will be taking out time.

It'll be my first time meeting up with this crowd too - should be 'interesting' ;)

We are coming over from Perth to Melbourne then going up thru Mildura and Broken Hill.

We are going north thru Tibooburra to the turnoff near Naryilco.

We've been to Camerons Corner before and took the Bore Track up to Innamincka. This time we'll take the less strenuous route.

We will be towing a Trakmaster.

I will be sending an MM to a few people in Victoria while we are there, to meet up. I'll send one to you too Scrubcat and we'll see what happens.

cheers

I'm not sure yet Richard. We are booked into Trakmaster on 25th June for a little maintenance and then we have all that time to get up to Innamincka.

I still have to sit down and work out the trip after leaving Melbourne. I'm sure we'll have heaps of time.

We want to go down to the RAAF Museum at Point Cook and there are 3 or 4 EO members I want to meet and say hullo, including some on the way to Mildura and in Broken Hill.

As I said previously, I'll be on the net while travelling. Will you?

If so I'll drop you an MM too.

cheers

We were thinking that way too GB. Dave B had said the road through Merty Merty was pretty rough with the truck traffic and we have been the Strz track a few times.

Do you know anything about that track?

John,

I came down from Noccundra to Camerons Corner on that track 12 months ago. It was very easy but if it gets wet I think we're buggered.

I'm going to MM you when we get to Melbourne too.

cheers

Hello Scrubcat
We are in Mildura right now, heading off 18th via Menindee to White Cliffs, Tibooburra, Cameron Corner. Roughly 30 June at Cameron Corner although we might sidetrack into Mutawintji NP for a couple of days on the way. Depends what road conditions are like. No real plans but plan to be at Innamincka around 7th. Towing 22.5' Supreme Territory. UHF18 Clipper811
We'll keep an eye out. Have sent you MM with email and mobile
