A big thanks to Tony and Steve for organising the Navigation run which bought back memories of the old car rally days. Lots of fun and laughter all round.
The follow up end of year celebrations with a huge turn out and banquet feast displays the success of the club for another year. Bring on 2019.
A big turn out for the club for a 1 day easy ( with a couple of tricky sections) to Mt Disappointment. A few members camped out on the Friday night waking up to a club provided bacon and egg cook up before hitting the tracks.
Another great weekend in MT Skene with an abundant amount of snow. No body made it to the top due to the heavy snow fall but great fun trying.
A great weekend by all club members who attended as spectators at this years “Extreme Winching Challenge” in Noojee. Throw in a few tracks before and after to get the juices flowing to top off a another fantastic weekend.
Many thanks to John and Annette who has led a successful week long high country trip, I was disappointed I could not attend and even more so after seeing the photos. You are welcome to come along to our February 19th 2018 meeting and catch up on the slide show.
Slide show commences 7.00 pm
Meeting commences 8.00 pm
End year celebrations where held at Sheep Yard Flats, we even had a special visitor for the kids and well the adults also 🙂 A nice challenging track on the way home for those who where interested.
John Mc, Jeremy and Rob S went up to Tallarook one November Friday night, got the fire going, camped out. Did a few tracks on the Saturday. Rob gleefully announced the Ford had to pull out the Toyota. Had a heard of goats wander through the camp. Was a great campsite with a great view, near the Warragul Rocks. Good fun only half an hour away from home.
Another successful Simpson desert crossing for Paul with another 7 members vehicles following in August 2017. The members and partners left early on a wet and drizzly Saturday morning searching for adventure and sunshine and finding both a few days later. The 2-week trip passed thru some of Australia’s historical outback places and towns including, Lake Mungo, Broken Hill, Milparinka, Cameron corner. From Cameron Corner it was the Old Strzelecki taking us up to Innamincka and into Birdsville for a well-earned drink at the iconic pub.
The Simpson Desert Straddles SA NT and QLD borders and is the largest parallel sand dune in the world.
The enthusiastic group took the French line East to West putting our sand driving skills to the test across the Simpson Desert, beginning with Big red without complications.
1100 sand dunes later the soothing waters of Dalhousie springs was our reward.
Good fun had by all on the crossing and all agreed they could easily turn around for a return trip.
From Mt Dare up to Old Andado to meet the colourful caretaker with lots of stories to tell then its bull bars pointing south for home via the Oodnadatta track.
Several members took up the opportunity to do a trip through the iconic Victorian High Country for a week leading up to Australia Day. Others joined them for a four-day weekend taking in the Australia Day public holiday.
