UPDATE: Proposed trip cancelled due to big response for Kelvin's 2nd group on his Pre Xmas Gathering and no point running a 3rd similar type trip.
As Kelvin's trip filled so quickly resulting in some members being dissapointed at missing out, I am wondering if there are any members interested in attending a similar type trip. It was originally planned to be on the same weekend as Kelvin's trip, but have had to change date for personal reasons. Details and pre requisites unchanged and are as follows;
ARRIVAL DATE: Thursday arvo Dec 8th or Friday Dec 9th..
LOCATION: Skipworth Reserve Jamieson.
NO. OF VEHICLES: 20
VEHICLE REQUIREMENTS: Basic recovery gear, UHF radio and A/T tyres as a minimum.
TRIP INFORMATION.
Skipworth Reserve is located 7 klms past the Jamieson township on the Mansfield/Woods Point Rd (sealed road access). It has 6 pit toilets, numerous firepits & picnic tables and can comfortably cater for 40+ vehicles and all types of camper trailers/caravans.
4WD tracks range from easy to hard that will cater for everyone. Plan is to run various trips that will include Craigs, Frys & Bindaree Huts and for the more adventerous, tracks like Lyrebird, Brewery etc, IF I can get a few trip leaders to lead some trips.
As Skipworth is a free campground, it does get busy on weekends so if you want to take part in this weekend, you MUST be committed to arriving Thursday night or Friday MIDDAY at the latest to ensure you get a campsite. It is right on the Goulburn river so those who like fishing can 'throw in a line'. If some dont want to go 4wding, plenty of other attractions close by such as Jamieson Brewery, Woods Point and Lake Eildon.
This trip is planned as a 'family friendly' weekend, so bring your partners/children (no pets) but if you want to play loud 'doof doof' music and spend all night swearing etc please do not express interest in this trip.
BTW, if there are some who dont like camping, there are cabins available at Jamieson Caravan Park.
If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask.
