Licola meet up 2016 need numbers today!!!

[AB]

Hi folks,

I know it's short notice but I need numbers confirmed ASAP tonight/tomorrow morning please.

I tried ringing BA but he didn't answer. I think he's real crook and flat out with work so fingers crossed for a speedy recovery but we need to act quickly otherwise we will miss out.

I just spoke to the bloke at the Licola Wilderness Village. We were supposed to pay deposit by today but I have told him we will 100% call and book tomorrow.

If anyone can touch base with BA that would be great.

So we need numbers ASAP

I have made it the Friday 29th, 30th, 31st July.

We have also tentatively booked in those awesome cabins next to the commercial kitchen cabin which has incredible facilities, fire pit and views which are surprisingly available for the dates above!

Please copy and paste the below to get some numbers going.

Average cottage has 3 rooms with 4 to 6 beds (bunks) per room.

Ab family x 4
Mb family x 4

[rusty_nail]

Yep Tegan and I will be coming, will talk to Dale and Ade tonight if they wanna come.

Can't believe we scored the commercial kitchen cottages!

Great views and fire pit at your front door with a dedicated cabin of commercial cooking facilities, giant fridges tables, etc!!!

[Winnie]

The kitchen there is insane guys, seriously awesome!

[Maxhead]

We'll be there now the dates have changed. Only 90% at this stage, leave approval pending.

G'day Winnie, any idea what cooking equipment they've got there mate? Truly would be my pleasure to do an entree for the crew at the least (my shout) maybe an MB specialty Bouillabaisse with Frog sticks & shiploads of butter. Best entree ever for a descent size crew after a day of surf fishing and or frozen day in the snow :-) !!!

[Winnie]

Hey mate, they had a bulk amount of huge ovens and stoves, heaps of fridges in there too.

[MB]

Cheers Winnie, how about pots and pans, do we need to bring our own?

[Bloodyaussie]

I will be going in for surgery the day before this meet so will not be attending plus with Nic being there i could not bare his bullshit so would not have worked anyway.

[AB]

I can find out tomorrow if you want mate. This kitchen is nuts!

designed for big school cook ups and I dare say they have the big ring burners and deep pots, etc.

Im excited about this trip, glamping!!!

Ok, good news!

I have booked us in for 4 x cabins right next to the commercial kitchen for Friday 29th, 30th, 31st.

Deposit was $200, I have paid this, no stress I will just cover it for us.

Prices are $36 per adult and $22.50 per child. Kids under 5 free!

If we do not need the 4th cabin we dont have to but lets keep bumping this over the weekend so we don't loose the 4th one, but no stress if we can't fill it.

[MudRunnerTD]

Sweet!! Sounds great and that fire pit looks like the bomb.

Do we know how many rooms in each house? When do we need to pay in full?

[taslucas]

What a great looking place. The kitchen setup looks well equipped and I noticed that there's enough rangehood coverage even for Andy to cook garlic bread

>>>tappin from tassie

[AB]

3 to 5 rooms in each house.

We just now pay in full upon arrival.

[Winnie]

Awesome, prefer it that way.
I won't be able to get out of work on Friday, so will come up straight after work. New house is on the way now too so no detours - yay!
I'd probably get there around 7.30pm

[Sir Roofy]

There should be room in a cabin. There is plenty of room to swag or tent, but you'd have to pay a camping fee still.

I think we have to either stop numbers or try and open up another cottage if there's anymore.

Or pretty much shut the bridge and take over Licola!

I'm happy to bunk in the roof top tent. Are the rooms shared in the cottages?

Likewise I'm more than happy to swag it or oztent it as well. Swag or oztent are coming with me regardless.

[AB]

No gents we have ample room. Most rooms have bunk beds of 4 to 6 beds but my calculations so far are the right amount of people to have couples/families in a room to themselves so no stress.

We still have loads of room.

Trust me, it's bad enough sleeping in the same house as Darren let alone in the same room ;)

[Maxhead]

There are 3 to 4 rooms in each cottage. Most will have 2 to 3 bunks, there is a kitchen and a shitter or two with two showers....great set up boys get into it:)

I had a call from our friends Friday to see how the numbers are going.

They were gobsmacked...lol

I forgot to ask about wood actually Chappy!!!

Anyways, apparently the 5 houses we have booked can accommodate 90 sardines so we are all good but I said we like to have room and not share rooms with stranger dangers!

I'll chase up wood collection though!

[MudRunnerTD]

There is Snow in them there Hills!

Snow at Matlock. Snow on BlueRag

[Winnie]

I just drove through licola tonight and there was a bit of snow at the car park we played at last year. Lots of snow further up ;)

[Bacho86]

Yes definitely keen for this again this year - I'm waiting for a few things to fall into place at home and I should be able to confirm soon!

Unfortunately I'm out for the Licola trip this year. It's been confirmed that that weekend is my daughters birthday party.

Judging by the amount of snow that was in the area on the weekend, you'll be in for a great trip for sure!!

I'm the same, I'm really looking forward to this as I've only seen the snow a few times in my life.
Do you guys think it will be best to run the 33s or 35s?

[AB]

Just spoke to Licola and the neighbouring farm up from cabin 1 has a lot of wood available from fallen trees.

The farmer is ok for us to access his farm, close gate behind you of course so happy days!

If they are both muddies, maybe the 33's will suffice. I don't know what tracks we will be able to do as most will be closed. So it might mainly be a sight seeing weekend. But I only have 35inch muddies so they will be going on. Or I could leave the 33inch AT's on for some slippery loving. lol.

Gonna be in the desert enjoying some warmth☺, still jealous tho kinda spewing missing out on the snow, but the desert is going to be AWSOME! ! Might have to try and sneak in a litte trip to some local snow sometime this winter. AB can grab me saw if he likes don't think I'll be needing it. . .

Hahahahahahaha! Ummmmmm.... No mate, you will not. I saw a vid this morning on FB that was taken last week between Finke and Mt Dare that was BOG. It was the same when i was though there in 2010. expect really Heavy Mud mate. air down and stick to the tracks no matter what. straight through the water bud there is a solid road under there somewhere. attempting to go around can lead to disaster unless there is a very well used diversion. Plow on through. You will have fun.

Note also my friend. When i did the Madigan in July i woke up at Camp 6 and the Temperature outside was -1.5 and the Temperature inside my fridge was +1.0. It will get Very Fresh up there bud. Have a great time. Look after each other. it could be a real Slog.

Also make sure someone in your group has a chainsaw as the wood on the ground is very hard and scarce. collect wood whenever you se it from 10am onwards for the nights fire, you might not see any more that day!

Cheers Daz, really looking forward to it now it's gong to be epic. Yeah expecting it to be wet and a potential slog can't wait should be a real adventure. Was expecting nice days but cold nights. Wasn't going to bring a saw but might take my little arb saw. From memory they weren't allowed last time, however if your doing other travels surely can't be too much of an issue to have one with you.
