There is a great little fundraiser happening on the 21st of September, for the Francis school busses.
In our governments wisdom they don't pay for the busses to travel into Victoria to pick up school kids, and being a small school funds are hard to come by.
Francis is based on the SA / VIC boarder, just below boarder town.
It's a scavenger hunt style setup threw the little desert national park and is great fun. Last year they had an additional balls of steel run, but after the first car was nearly lost in the first 10 meters they called it off.. Keen MR???

All in all a top weekend, smoke'o, tea and breaky Sunday is all available, and for the last 4 years I've been there has been so many donated prizes that some people went home with 2...

Anyway, details on the flyer, camping in now $10 a site, not $7 a head. And the email addy is all lowercase.

Hope to see you there. 32588

She's welcome to. Plenty of camp space. And it's not that hard core. Quite gentle really. An X-trail has followed for the last 2 years.

The track is nice. Nothing technical, an x-trail has done it the last 2 years with us. You can take some nice ruts and deeps puddles, and they have a muddiest rig prize.

But it's a mix of bitumen, sand and mud.

I'm spewing, Kallen. It ain't too far too travel to, and I have wanted to do the Border Track for ages. I have blown the budget on getting the Old Trol's gear box replaced. (Hopefully next Tuesday). Have fun. I'll be there "In Spirit".

For sure mate, always willing to catch up with members for a beer, go for a drive.
Give us a yell when you over next and I'll stick the brews on the ice..

This ain't the track mn, just a round trip of the little desert.
