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.
Lots of vehicles attended the annual Christmas trip. This time the venue was Running Creek Camping Reserve on the Howqua River between Macs Cove and Jamieson. This was a base camp with some members arriving on the Friday, others coming on Saturday. The crew went for a drive around the area on the Saturday, followed by a spit roast in the evening, which was provided by the club.

Hardly any snow about on Mt Skene. Headed towards Walhalla, camped the night at a hut. Some young hooligans being disrespectful to the campsite grounds and others enjoying the area, which was disappointing. The next day went down one spec track and found a little Kia which had gone for a swim. Found some good tracks.
