Been a while since we had a meet up and this is one of those iconic locations at Dargo..

It begins on the Friday the 30th of October and those that can stay the full time will go until the Tuesday.

The camp spot we would like to get is Collins Flat, on the Upper Dargo Road and we stayed there in early 2014 on one of the best forum trips so far.

This is not an official club/forum meet but a group of friends going for a drive so any damage sustained is entirely on the owner and has nothing to do with Nissanpatrol.com

Channel 17uhf.

We need to try and secure this spot as early as possible as it will be a busy weekend so if anyone can get there early that would be great.

See you there.

Providing my car get fixed prior to this, we ( the family) will be in... We would be going up Saturday morning though.

Collin's Flat camp ground is about 20-30 minutes out of Dargo and easy to get to with trailers etc...
There won't be much if any hardcore 4wding on this track but it's a chance to do some of the most iconic 4WD tracks in Australia.

I will be driving through the night on Friday and coming into camp at around 2am on Saturday morning with Rustynail and Nisshead

Guys I want to do this one, just not sure how I'll go with gas. What would be the nearest place to get gas, quick search brought up Bairnsdale?I'm good for about 400 - 450 kilometres normal everyday driving.
Will confirm with the Mrs over the weekend if she's coming.

Stratford will be your last stop on the highway, if you get to Bairnsdale you've gone too far.
Unleaded and Diesel is available in Dargo.

I'll confirm with the minister of war and finance tonight but going to try and make this.
Jaysee you'll be right mate. Fill up with Gas at the last point and use it as a reserve, fill up with unleaded at dargo and with that and a few Jerry cans you can't go wrong
Well thats my plan any way

You could always leave at a ridiculous time, like 4 am. Should be less traffic.

Yeah me and the missus spoke, and she would prefer to leave real early of Saturday. But i have nfi on where im going so if Friday late it is, then it is i suppose.
But a 4am leave would be good. Then we can set up in light.

You should be turning off in Stratford mate, it's heaps quicker. Beverleys Rd it's called, look at it that way. Will save you about 20mins.
The Billabong only has unleaded fuel.

Is that the one that comes off Stockdale road? I'll have to get on the computer and play around with Google maps. If its quicker then its got to be the way to go.

Tell us the truth... you and Darren are having a romantic weekend away with each other aren't you?

i spoke to boofhead last night, and understandable this weekend is when he gets his period, so camping would be a little uncomfortable for him haha.

OK just working this out.

Assuming Stratford servo doesn't open until 9am, there is no point me leaving until 6:30am so I can get LPG.

This puts me in camp about 11ish on saturday morning is that too late ? Any other suggestions ?

I get about 300kms out of gas and about 150kms from my 30 litre petrol tank

I will have at least 2 x 20 litre jerries but might take 3 x 10 litres for the roof also

Worst case I do have 2 plastic 20 litre ones but they smell if I put them in the car

Top up in Sale then save your gas for the drive around fill up petrol in Dargo that will get you back to civilization

thanks roofy was thinking along those lines. LPG is such a PITA

So what time should I be aiming for on Saturday Morning? Was thinking about leaving around 5am? Which will have me there about 9am?

Edit: Sale has a 24/7 so all good, might even see if i can convince the wife to do a late night run Friday, would be like a midnight arrival though

You would get a good run along the Hwy then cut out theback of Stratford might even save a bit more

Thanks Lucus. I was thinking about that last night and was going to give than a call today. No need to now.

I'll be driving pass your place about 5. We could meet up somewhere if you like, as it looks like we are both going into Sale.

Also I see that the campsite is about 15 kms up upper dargo road. Is it signposted?
