Gonna go somewhere I haven't been before for easter and Anzac Day and then go and and wake up early to respect our Anzacs on the 26th. I hope I'm in some small town where the tradition still continues strong.....

You may be a bit late Kris, Anzac Day is the 25th mate unless they have changed it due to easter, will have to check up on that one myself.

Was thinking maybe Sundown NP. I have never been there but have heard it's a nice place. Is all granite country. Otherwise I was also thinking of buying the latest Dirty Weekends book and combining a couple of the new treks in it that weren't in my old one.

All I think about is holiday. Not special days. I always forget what days they are.

If you go to O'reillys go up Duck Creek Road. Much more interesting and about 200 less corners, although it is dirt so take it easy if it's wet.

Tonythey may be coming up in failane not Pajero, so we all can't fit in Finly, so may have to take longer windy rd.

Only short timers. Mine were all around Camden, Luddenham, Mulgoa you get the drift. The family I was interested in now live in a Pioneer Cemetery out that way.

Sundown is nice - dunno if it has any challenges for you blokes who have fully optioned rigs......that said, we were there a few years ago, and observed a track that was quite steep, quite loose, and straight up a bit of an incline. It was surrounded by she oaks - you know the ones, giants have trunks that are about 60mm thick.

On this track we saw a big big pool of engine oil that had soaked in - suspect a leg was thrown out of bed, i.e. conrod through the block, as no rocks big enough to damage a sump.

We also saw several of those skinny she oak trunks ringbarked from winching!! Maybe they used them to recover the oil leaker?

We tend to stay home at Easter because of the traffic and the inevitable rain :-)

You'll see some deer there as well.

Come down to Tocumwal mate on the border of Vic and NSW....lol

It's a great spot...We always camp on the NSW side which is harder to get into so the teenage party animals in their commos don't go on that side.

Massive river, sand banks about 80m wide, close to town, fishing, drinking, eating, fishing, eating and drinking and fishing and eating!!!

This year the Easter Break is for 5 days and for the first time in ages I am not going anywhere (Family Commitments) . A bit of a Bummer but will probably do a couple of Day Trips with some Fishing thrown in.

If anyone is up near Jamieson that is a good place to attend the Anzac Day Service
