Sounds good Belzi, maybe even down to Lake William Hovell if there's time. It's hard tho as theres so many good spots in that area. Lake Cobler's a ripper spot I, I reckon thats a must. Which King Hut are you thinking of camping at upper or lower? . . Last time I was at the upper one the hut was gone- still a beutifiull spot tho.

If my shoulder is Ok and I havnt sold the Patrol by then I will be in this as my last trip.

The King Hut was burnt down but is a great spot to Camp. The trip up the Staircase to Lake Cobbler is a good trip and also Wild Horse Gap track which will bring you back to Pineapple Flat and back up king basin road.

If I come which is likely I will be going up on the Friday and should be able to get some Wood in for our Camp Fires.

HI Bob, I will be heading up Friday and probably staying in Mansfield the night - still not sure at this stage, I don't want to be camping on my own and if other's are camping the Friday night then I may depending on what time I arrive. Roofy and Kat are planning on heading up on Friday but Roofy was talking about possibily staying in Shep on Friday.
I was thinking that we could all meet on Saturday morning at Telegraph Junction.

I will most likely be going up Friday Morning. Will have to liase with Roofy & Kat to see what time they intend to come in.
If you are going to Craigs Hut on the way in then as you come over the King Saddle on the Circuit road you can turn left and go up over Mt Stirling which is magnificent and then drop down to Craigs Hut.
I would come up to Craigs Hut from the Circuit road and meet you all there for Lunch.
Will fit in with whatever you have planned

Thoughts for the Trip :-

Fire Wood : If everybody that can bring in some Wood for Friday Night as we wont have time to collect any on the way in. Wont need much if we all take a little . We can get a Load on our trips on the Saturday.I will have a Chain Saw.

Cook Up Saturday Night : I can purchase a couple of Boned Roasts from the Kyneton Abbatoir on the way down. How many Camp Ovens do we need ??. I think three one for each of the Roasts and one for the Vegies. I can bring one.
Who else ??. Not you AB as from previous Posts I think yours might be a bit rusty LOL LOL. And NO MUSSELS AND OYSTERS Will need some Vegies

Umm might be a slight change of plans for Rossco and I....lol

We are both taking the Friday off work so we might head up at sparrows on Friday morning and set up camp.

At least this way we can get fire wood and a perfect camp spot ready for you guys on dusk....

Yes mate, Rossco knows the area very well so we'll be ok.

Is it a big camp site? Any particular spot there you want us to camp or just grab the best suited?

It is a reasonable size Site. The area around the old Hut is fenced off. There was a Toilet down near the First River Crossing and we could Camp back from that on the side of the Track from the Burnt out Hut Site.
But you should be able to find a suitable Site.

Channel 17 UHF ??

I am taking my Camper Van.

Yeah mate, that would be good. I'm thinking of doing Tom Groggin track from Thredbo onto Omeo then through to Craigs hut, I know the tom groggin takes 5 hrs so it might be out of my reach but I will have plenty of time

I really think that that is your best option Kris as you dont know if all the Tracks are open as there is still a fair amount of damage from the Floods earlier in the Year

AB

Easily persuaded...lol

Nah mate, we'll set up camp, quickly get some wood then do some exploring and then have a few dozen quiet ones in the river waiting for the others...We can play river cricket too...LMAO

Catering for Trip

Their are 5 Batchelors 1 Spinster and three elderly couples LOL so 12 people

We are having a Camp Oven Roast on the Saturday night which I am bringing the Roasts and Andy is bringing the Vegies.

I suggest that everybody bring their own Food for the rest of the Meals as it would require a fair bit of organisation to purchase for everyone.

What does everybody think of this idea.

PS Can you bring your Camp Oven Snicko
