September sometime would suit me ok....just remembered we'll be flat out picking Oct this year.

[Stropp]

[Clunk]

Can't do weekend of 27/28th but 6/7th, 13/14 the or 20/21 are clear at the mo

[firm351]

13/14 is the only weekend I can do in September. I'm pretty keen to come along on one of these meet ups.

[Bloodyaussie]

Adrian one thing I have learnt about getting a meet up to happen is to set a date and those that can make it will.... if you give them choices they will go on forever about it should be this date and it should be that..

You will be surprised that some members who said they could not make a certain date will be so keen to come they will end up turning up and vice verse.

Just look at those bloody South Australians..... they could not organise a visit to a brothel with a fist full of fifties !! Lol ..... flame suit on...

Updated list in the first post

[Evo]

Hey guys,

To those that have been and know Dwellingup, is/are there any places to stay for a night? Motel, etc?
If I can find somewhere, will more than likely come down Saturday and stay the night.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Evo

[Stropp]

hey evo, where we camp is about an hrs drive from dwellingup so that wont do to drive back mate.

[Clunk]

as Stropp said, it's a fare old way to where the camp site is, so tenting or camper trailer is best

[oncedisturbed]

Same spot as last time?

[Woof]

Hey Neil, you will have to get the approval of the Trip Leader, Clunky

[Clunk]

So as long as everyone is ok with it, then no problem at all Neil. I'd bring mine but they're to stupid..... Takes after their owner..... And besides, I don't have room lol

[Woof]

My only concern would if DPaw lay 1080 baits around that area, may pay to check it out 1st mate

[afatboy]

Its ok out there mate. Been out a few times and everyman and his dog goes... literally. As I said, they never leave our camp anyway.

[Avo]

it's bad enough with one doggy,can't be any worse with a few more..

Might just come down for the day then, don't have a camper trailer, or a tent for that matter...
Plus if the MOF comes, there will be no 'roughing it'. :(

Evo

[Avo]

could try and look for accomadation in Harvey mate..probably just as close as dwellingup..

[Evo]

Hey guys,

Apparently there's a mob here in Perth that hire out camper trailers for about $70 per day, better rates for weekends/longer hire periods.
Anyone had any experience with something like this?

Hey Neil, sounds like a good plan mate, I will most likely head out there on Thursday afternoon and get some good firewood ready

[Clunk]

I've hopefully got Friday booked off work, but that will only be of use if the missus can get time off too

[Woof]

Just bumping this for our new forum members, come along and enjoy the nice warm fire with a few soft drinks with fairly ordinary company included.....................firewood will be supplied by myself

Wanted to buy.......red carpet.

Spoke to the work boss today and it's looking good. Locked it in, and I'm believing in the 11hr, he'll still be saying "yes".

If we have a meet up to travel in convoy, 10am at the Pinjarra Bakery sounds good. lol. I think it's about a 4hr drive from my place to there. haha.

I'm still laughing internally, but it's slowly sinking in that I will finally be able to put a face to the Forum Names. PML

Yes Clunk. I'll definitely be heading down on Thursday. Got 25th onwards booked off to make sure. Someone needs to secure the site early....... And to keep an eye on Doggie's firewood selection.

[DX grunt]

I've got some firewood to bring, if the authorities allow me to. Not sure if you have to get it from the area you're in, or whether you're allowed to 'import' it.

I've got enough to bring to cover the night time fires for Sat/Sun nights, but not to burn all day.

Just double checking also that where we're going, fires are still permitted at that time of year. Can somebody enlighten me.....in writing. lol

I know it's just under 4 weeks away, but is there a plan/itinerary for our 'weekend away'?
I'll be bringing my friend's 22yo son, if that's OK?

If my swag isn't fixed, I guess I'll just have to bring my high density foam mattress, complimented with sheets, blankets and a doona and sleep in the pod. lol

The plan is to turn up and do whatever takes our fancy. Saturday will probably be set up camp, build fire, drink, lunch, drink, dinner, drink while sitting round fire. Sunday will be wake up, have breakfast then maybe go for a drive round........ Basically taking it easy and relaxing mate. Monday, pack up and slowly head home and maybe have another drive.

[Stropp]

Just went through our last meet up thread, bloody hell what a load of dribble...lol
I found you directions from that thread, hope it helps:
OK, just follow these directions:

1. Leave the pub and head to the main street
2. Turn left at the main street
3. Follow the road until you see a sign
4. Turn right at the sign and follow the road until it turns to gravel
5. Keep going on the gravel road until you see THE TREE, it has faded yellow tape around it
6. Turn right at the TREE and follow the track until you see me.......

I hope that theses directions are easy to follow, if not just let me know.

[DX grunt]

You lost me after the word 'gravel'. lol

Edit: Seriously, I thought we were meeting at the Dwellingup Pub? Nobody has designated a time for the meet up at the pub, have they?

No not yet Grunter, need to get some feedback of a couple of guys from the swat forum. I think Stropp finishes work around 2pm, so guess he won't get there until around 4pm. Not sure what time OD is getting there. WA 489 also hasn't mentioned a time. I'm kind of thinking maybe meet up approx 12pm, so it gives me plenty of time to get my clan ready in the morning, because last time was friggin stressful as....... And this is all about being relaxed hahahaha

May not be there on Thursday now, got unexpected stuff happening Bang Head

[afatboy]

Hey Doggie, if you won't be there Thursday that's all good, but do I just set up in the same place as last year?

[Woof]

Hey Doggie, if you won't be there Thursday that's all good, but do I just set up in the same place as last year?

There may not be enough room there mate, may have to find a big space

[Stropp]

Just setup on the river below where we were last year and rope it off, those who get there early can camp down there and us latecomers can setup up the top in the place we did last year!

[Clunk]

Might be a tad boggy down below, if last year is anything to go by

[afatboy]

If you stay on the same side of the river and head back up river, past the logged out area, there is a huge area we could use with only one real access point. It would be plenty big enough. Problem is, I
Don't think I can exactly stop people from entering the area on Friday when all the other stray campers come out

Might have to pull out of this unfortunately.

Evo

[Woof]

I now do not know when or if I will be able to attend, will try to get there for at least one night.

[oncedisturbed]

What happened doggy?

[Woof]

Got to sort things out for the move to Pemby OD, happening quicker than I thought

[Avo]

Looks like I better start building that kennel....

[Stropp]

Well I will be down Friday night as I'm going to close the shop Saturday as the footy final is that weekend and it will be very quiet if I went to work.

[afatboy]

Wouldn't you know it, my radiator decided to spring a leak yesterday. Very handy. So , Sunday will consist of me fitting a new radiator, thermostat, water pump, hoses and all belts. Got to pull it apart so I may as well replace everything. But, I will still be there Thursday morning

[Avo]

,just got back from holidays and there's so much work to catch up on...still talking myself into coming Saturday early morning and staying the night.no such thing as a lazy day or a weekend on the farm,big crop this year and have to be on the ball..just camp eat drink slepp eat and go again..we'll make some pizza's..

[Avo]

is there going to be a marker on the track..we'll be coming from Harvey..don't see the point at stopping at the pub when it's not open that time of day..saves us heaps of km and time.

[afatboy]

From memory, head out of Harvey and it's about 23km or so from where the gravel starts. I can take a few pieces of cardboard out to make a marker for the roadside. I'll also mark a few more to lead to where we set up camp. Look for the arrows. Will that help?

[Avo]

yep just a bit of yellow tape will be fine at the entrance,will know how to get there from there,got a pretty good memory for tracks and stuff.

[oncedisturbed]

Is someone gonna monitor a cb at all and if so which channel? Gecko may get a chance to pop his head in and say howdy as he will be in Harvey that weekend.
We may only be able to stay 1 night and wont know which day we come down until the last minute, just in case, what time was the meetup on saturday in dwelly?

12pm outside the pub mate, I usually just go on channel 20 (force of habit)

[gubigfish]

Whats the plan are we gonna watch the grand final at the pub and then head to the campsite later or just meet there and head straight to the camp site?

[Clunk]

Meet there and straight to the campsite was the plan......... even though I don't mind watching the footy, I'm not one to go out of my way to watch it or stop me from doing other things lol

[Avo]

I'll meet ya's at the campsite..we'll leave down here about 7am so should be there by 10.30 hopefully....is anyone coming from sth as I can meet them in Harvey at a time to be orgasnised if they want.

[oncedisturbed]

We have to drop munchkin off at karakatta barracks saturday morning just before lunch so we won't make it by 12 to meet up at the pub, can someone let us know which way yo go from dweely, roads etc and we will meet at the campsite.

[DX grunt]

I'm not one to go out of my way to watch it or stop me from doing other things lol

Note to self......Clunk is selfish! LOLOLOL

[Avo]

By Saturday all the good wood will be gone, only Possums woof wood left.....lol

Directions: (I think)
Through Dwelly on the Pinjarra/Williams Road
Right onto the Lower Hotham Road
Right at the T section onto the Harvey Quindanning Road

May have to put a marker out for the turnoff to the campsite (stay tuned for more info)

Unfortunately guys I am going to have to pull out of this trip as well, back is giving me grief too much to be able to drive / passenger a run down that far.

Have an insurance review on Tuesday with their Orthapeadic Surgeon again and don't want to cause any issues at the moment.

Also have very limited phone and internet service at the momemt as well so it will be very sporadic time on the forums.

[Bob]

Have a great time guys.
Hopefully next year sometime I might get across to the West to meet some of you

Lessons learnt

- Just because a GQ can get through a gap in the trees doesn't mean the GU will especially with a tray that is wider than the cab
- add a hammer to the toolbox
- Bush pin striping is a fact of life :)
- Driving through big puddles and creek crossing never gets old
