It’s the Election weekend however you can vote before Saturday, go to Voting Options for more details https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/Voting/HowToVote.html 

 

Meet and Camp Friday night at Big River Camping Area (it is on your right heading to Stockmans Reward along Big River Road), or meet at Camp Saturday morning before 9am to head to Mount Terrible  and camp down in Jamieson somewhere along the river.  Sunday will just be heading back to Melbourne via the bitumen. 

certainly will not be bashing our cars around or jepodising safety. We will be out in the bush for a couple of days where we will sit back around a big fire at night having a good feed, a few drinks, laughs and stories from the day.

If you cant make Friday night, you are welcome to come Saturday Morning, leaving camp about 9am. UHF Radio will be on 37 

*Please if you have joined the trip and for some reason can not make it, please withdraw as soon as possible to give someone else the opportunity to join and fill a spot* 

- Meet at Camp in Big River, its called Big River Camp Area.

Sorry but cannot make it this time as I am off to a mates 60th in Anglesea and may take the opportunity to hit some tracks down there. I hope the weather is a little kinder for you this time, but you make it fun no matter what mother nature throws at you.

Hi everyone, just a reminder if anyone cant make it for any reason please jump out of the trip as soon as possible to allow someone else the opportunity to join.

Weather is looking like a bit of rain on Friday and maybe Saturday so please ensure you have decent tread on your tyres. Stock cars should be fine with this trip as there are chicken tracks around tracks etc

any questions feel free to ask and see you all Friday.

Just my luck lol, last weekend was perfect weather and I missed it.. Now that I'm coming it's gonna be raining.. I'm yet to do a trip in the "new" swag and keep it dry.

Either way, trip will be awesome like all your other trips. Can't wait.

You will be right mate, I don’t do car bashing trips.

Myself and Pauly and Peter did this trip a few weeks ago and it was pissing down and no issues.

It will come in handy as I saw a post on Facebook today that there’s snow up in the mountains today.

I'm nearly all packed up. If TJM doesn't stuff me up tomorrow with the lockers install, I'll be at camp around 10pm. Keen for a warm fire and a beer.. Ready to hit the track in the mo.

Hi everyone, i plan to get to Warburton and have pizza at the Warburton Pizza Cafe on the main street before you get the bakery around 5:30 - 6pm, if anyone wants to join me.

If not i will see you at camp and my radio will be on 37. Big River Camp is on the right on Big River Road and its the Y junction with the road.

If someone could bring a chainsaw that would be appreciated as there was a bit of wind last night.

forecast is that the showers will ease later tonight which i hope is true.

Any questions let me know.

See you all soon.

Eli has left the Building, heading to Warburton. See you up there Nick and Tracey, i will see you all at camp later. Radio will be on 37

Rain has stopped where i am, its only water and i guess we all live in Melbourne so a bit of rain isnt going to stop us.

Hey Kieron,

Thanks

Haha Thanks Keiron. Please upload them in the files section on here or I can send you my email if videos are not too big.

Yes I'm really happy with it now :D - after 3 years offroading finally getting there. You did really well also considering your car is stock and it was your first trip! You did not let it stop you, followed instructions and made it up everything! Quite impressive.

Thanks! It helps to know that you know nothing, if you want to learn from others. I had a great time with you guys and felt that I was in good hands with you lot around. I'll upload the pictures and videos when I'm home later on.
