See more trips

Hey all just thinking/needing a weekend away sooner than later.

 

Thinking thompson state Forrest/Macalister river state Forrest.

 

meet on the Thompson dam wall at 9am saturday, head on trig track or Mabee futons creek track and then make our way to burgoines camping area to spend the night (mabee take army track,morning star track, green hills link and green hills track) there are even a few other campsites on the Macalister off green hills track which I wouldn't mind checking out time permitting. Then depends where we spend the night take burgoines track to Cheyenne bridge or take Cobb spur track which comes out just passed licola on heyfeild Jamison rd. All cars MUST have front and rear recovery points and bush camping Saturday night so have to be self sufficient (food/water).

Hey guys I will be camping at the Aberfeldy river camp ground Friday night if you would like to join, it's on walhalla rd but there's a cut through off Thomson valley rd called rum road which takes you there. If you want to come up Friday night and are unsure where to go I'm happy to meet up at moe or erica at around 6/7ish.

G'day Antony
Do you need me to bring a chainsaw as well?

Trip Leader Antony (Peloza79) Premium Member
If you want then why not but it just matters how much room you have, I have just a cheap one but it does the job and I can't see there being to many trees over the track, also just I case do you know the campsite we will be at tomorrow?

Graeme (100Cruiser)
No worries mate I might just put it on the roof just in case.
I haven't been to the campsite before but I know how to get there.
Do you know what Rum rd and Low Saddle track are like?
If all goes to plan we're hoping to meet you at Moe for 6.00pm

Graeme if it saves you the hassle of carrying the chainsaw on your roof mine is already packed in the back of the ute

Just looking on the net about Aberfeldy camp site and it says there are now fees to camp there and sites have to be booked.
It's $13 per site which can have 6 people in it but only allows one car. It's an additional $9.20 per extra car.
Have you camped there before? Do we need to book a site or just see what happens when we get up there.

Graeme (100Cruiser)
No worries Fraser. I'll leave mine at home.
See you tomorrow night
