Victoria meet up - Lets get it happening!!!

[AB]

Ok, seems we have a few proposed meet ups at similar times in different places.

Lets all combine them so we can get a good group together and get it happening as It's a great time of the year for us to get out and about!!!

I have made a poll above to find out what everyone wants and lets just choose the majority rules.

Poll will shut next Wednesday so let us know what you prefer. You can only choose 1 location...

[Winnie]

No poll here boss.

[taslucas]

No poll here boss.

You on tappa? They don't show up on tappa

Tap, crackle, pop

[AB]

Give me time Winnie...lol....Ok now????

[taslucas]

My preferred location is the front seat of the party bus! Lol
It's the Time of year that I'm more focused on

Tap, crackle, pop

[Winnie]

Yep all good now haha.

I've made a thread here from when I went near O'Tooles last time, Donnelly's Creek Track and that area so we went past O'Tooles. Heaps of pictures there.

[healy]

I'm not fussed where

[threedogs]

Just thought you'd like to know, Cod opening is 1st of December, Which will include the Yarrawonga Cod Classic .
Very popular, I'll be down stream at Bearii.

[The BigFella]

Bring on the Cod Classic,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ,,

[MEGOMONSTER]

Hopefully see someone there. At the cod classic, I mean.


Jack taps here...........

[threedogs]

Thats why I mentioned it , thought a few would be going, which will leave my spot vacant and all alone, 32k down stream from Tocumal

[Maxhead]

I'll go where ever there is cold beer and mud :)
not fussed so I havent voted but I want to go to Mt Evelyn to get my rear bar when ever the meet up happens. so what ever is closer...hahah

[taslucas]

Is there a date?

[krbrooking]

Is this a day trip or a weekender thing as the long weekend is right on our door step

[AB]

I would say the whole weekend mate.

I just voted for my house because I'm lazy and Its at my house but happy to go to the other two locations no problem at all....LMAO

[Bloodyaussie]

Mate I cant do the 1st of Dec .. to close to the wifes birthday..

I am easy for either Walhalla or your place in November.

I would need to set plans in motion as this is my busy time and need to have work taken care of..

[healy]

Walhalla is 2+ hours for me to travel Andy's is an hour how about we make some what central for the people interested just a suggestion for the trip leader Winnie

[Irvs]

Sounds good, hopefully I can make it and finally meet some of you blokes in the flesh.

[krbrooking]

I wreckon Ab's as it closer for me as we'll and I am not sure if I will be able to do the whole weekend thing so it will be easier for me to make at least one of the days.

[krbrooking]

Looks like the special ppl are winning this poll ATM. Lol

[Winnie]

Just realised the 1st is no good for me, brother's birthday. So I can't change my vote but if I could I'd take it off Aberfeldy and put it on Walhalla.

This trip is mud, flood or blood, other words its on, stretcher, ambo don't care I'm there

[healy]

So it's looking like Andy's on the 17th&18th ?

[threedogs]

[MudRunnerTD]

Both those weekends SUCK!

Damn You! Damn You ALL!

[threedogs]

[MudRunnerTD]

The 1st deceber is booked up with Club Chrissy party and 17&18 Nov I am in Sydney with work until late Friday night and would not swing a weekend away after a week in Sydney.

I reckon we should be talking about Austalia day weekend or a meetup between Christmas new year?

[threedogs]

Aussie day sounds good too many break ups etc going on between now and xmas

[krbrooking]

..........on the move.

[Bob]

If we have a Victorian Meetup as per Loveday may I suggest this Location

http://www.morninggloryriverresort.com.au/camping

There is a Camp Kitchen,Beach on the Murray,Swimming Pool,Laundry,Showers etc.
A great spot for the Family.
No need to be Easter but maybe a Long Weekend or a normal Weekend with a extra Day.

I have stayed there and would highly reconmend.
Dog Friendly
No real 4WD tracks but some great spots to visit nearby Echuca etc

[Ben-e-boy]

I'm pretty keen on coming on this trip, but Im there to 4wd would like to stay somewhere close to good offroading

theres always plenty of mud at gulpa and milewa, but its still another 20 min drive down the road... personally this area sucks for 4x4ing, its way too flat

[Sir Roofy]

I also have a good bungalow that is 15m x 7m and a small cottage house so more than welcome to crash under a roof too mate, no stress at all!!!

[healy]

So is it at Andy's and toolangi? Or somewhere else

[AB]

So is it at Andy's and toolangi? Or somewhere else

Not sure of exact spot yet...Still hanging out to try Aeroplane track we missed last time but also Narbethong/Buxton/Taggerty areas will be good too.

Should head further north rather then stay out the southern areas.

I'll check it out in better detail soon...

BBQ Saturday night and some lemonades!!!

[belzi82]

Was looking forward to bush camping but that is ok

Not a bad idea actually mate...

Like what Bel said I was kinda looking forward to bush camping too.

If everyones happy with that we can camp at the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve

http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/131652/FS0010-Murrindindi-Scenic-Reserve-Camping.pdf

Good call, everyone happy with that???

Small little creek there, nice time of the year...I'll try and knock off early and get a good spot for us all.

Thoughts ladies and gents???

Yer im Happy with that AB, sounds good.. Where did we camp last time? Water Gauge?
Was good last time, Bush camping, decent fire pits and very close to all the good tracks? Also good starting point if wanting to head further north as well

[AB]

Water gauge rings a bell, jeesh it's been a while, was it last year or the year before?

It was one of the first meet ups, could of even being 2010....lol...the years a blurry these days!!!

[big_fletch]

Not sure, i think it was Water Gauge though.. That was a good spot, everyone had there own space and was close to marginal rd as well
