Expression of Interest - Gembrook Area Victoria

Hi Victorians,

I have always wanted to explore Gembrook and the local area by 4wd.
I am thinking about organising a WEEKEND trip over this way.
Tentative weekend in October - still to confirm date (it was postponed for mid October however that weekend is GACO so a lot of campsite will be full).

from memory Nash Creek camping ground is good, large area has toilets and fairly straight forward to get to.

Lol I know - did that in a RAV 4 and it was b!@#$ly hard work. Yeah Pineapple flats would be perfect to camp! Maybe we should go one weekend in November then

[big_fletch]

Haha in a Rav4?? No wonder it was hard lol.. I know the tracks around that area pretty well and a few nice things to see.. I camped just up from Pineapple flats last time i was there.. If we were going to have a meetup there pineapple flat would be the go for sure.. Probably would be best planned for the end of NOV when all the tracks are open again
