ExploreOz gathering site

Also there is a very large area for Vans to set up on. If need be they can be set up along the roads that surround each block. There is 3 blocks in total :))

If an On Road van can make it in there then Roachie will have no worries I reckon LOL


Cheers Kev

Kev

Are we able to have individual fires ( in drum)

I know there will be a communal one but I don't fancy carrying all meals to and from it

Di

Di,

The area will be mown the week before the gathering and I will have a heap of firewood available for individual fires.

All I ask is that fires are correctly tended to when not in camp, as there are kids attending and the ever present threat of the fire getting away into the surrounding bushland.


In the 1st vidoe in the gathering notes there is a shot of a BBQ, from memory there is 3 or 4 of thse that can be used as well. Theyt are relatively close to where most people wil be camping also.

Cheers Kev.

SWMBO Q's

1. Any snakes ?

2. Any spiders ?

3. Will it be cold ?


:-))


KK

1. Maybe,

2, Possibly,

3. Temps between 5 - 25 are expected during that time of year

hahahaha

Cheers Kev

SWMBO Q's and A's

1. Any snakes ? Only longer than 2 metres as these large ones have eaten out all the smaller ones.

2. Any spiders ? Nothing of renown other than the redbackFunnelwebbed bird eating snake killing spider. There are nine of these distributed around the place

3. Will it be cold ? On NZ temps there will be a heatwave


:-)) - :0)))


KK BONZ

Bonz,
It would be ok if you stopped sending all that wind, rain and snow over this way :-))

I may not have enough $ for my air fares after I pay this months energy bill !

.

I can assure you Ray that we are using our fair share of that crappy weather here also.

Aw, Bonz, you're awful!

hahaha cute too Ruth

I beg to differ on that Bonz LOL

tsk tsk that is chit chat OR a personal attack hahahahaha

I still want to know if he is talking about the St George Gathering or another one?? hehehe

Cause the Pyrenees Camping ground is also On Road Van friendly


Cheers Kev

Does St George have such a good range of tracks as Glenpatrick though? I doubt it. LOL

Been through slush and snow today and on dirt tracks too, as well as bitumen, towing Kim.

John,

Only if you have a water tight cab and a long Snorkel, the river is the only challenge around.

Although where the Steam Engine is there is a quarry that may be fun for some attendee's


Cheers Kev

Sir Kev,

Thanks for getting the local council to seal the road for my (possible) attendance........ You know how much I hate gravel roads (NOT!). hehehe

Roachie

Bill,

The camp site is the old construction camp that was built for the construction of the Dam and Irrigation system, so the roads around the camp are semisealed due to zero maintance sinc e the camp was closed.

Will I need to organise Hazmat to be in attendance as well?? hehehe


Cheers Kev

With individual open fires allowed you had better include a 'heads up' to the SES at the same time :-))

KK

KK,

What do you want the local SES to do??

Cut more firewood?? or to do camp fire watch?? LOL

I don't think we will run out of firewood just quietly and as for looking after fires I think the responsibility should lie with the campers

Cheers Kev

Ha ha, those follow-ups were better than the Friday Funnies! :)

Matt,

Hope you can make it then

Cheers Kev

I see in "Places" there is an IGA and several servos, so I guess it will have everything we need.

Before someone tells me Google is my friend.....

St George QLD

Steve,

I updated St George in the EO Places.

Yes there is an IGA, also another Supermarket.

The Butcher is still there from memory.

Bakery is across the road from IGA

Post office

The BP is the most expensive in St G.

There is also a Caltex, a no name (was Shell) and also a Mobil (Bulk fuel distributor that also has bowsers)

All the pubs have a drive through and I think one has a seperate Liquor outlet.

There was also a fruit and veg shop just not sure it is still open

HTH

Cheers Kev
