We are having a meet up at my place to bring in the new year on the 3rd to the 4th of January 2012.

We will be heading out to the Kinglake National Park located only 20 minutes away from my house.

I live in Christmas Hills (5 minutes from Yarra Glen).

Accommodation is available in my bungalow which is a nice room roughly 15m x 4m. If the numbers are greater then 8 or so members then you will have to bring a tent or similar shelter as my house is quite small. I have 11 acres some plenty of room to camp out if need be.

New members are encouraged to come along. We're a friendly bunch and this should be an absolute blast!

I should point out that though we will be doing moderate 4wding tracks and you should have a minimum of 33" tyres for the clearance needed on some of these tracks as they have a lot of tight technical tracks with deepish ruts that you cannot avoid unfortunately.

Having saying that you are more then welcome to come along and leave your car at my house and jump in with another members vehicle as It's great to have some navigators and photographers too. I actually love been a passenger sometimes so even if you have a stock Patrol why not come along and see the sights.

I am thinking meeting at my place around 9am on the 3rd Jan. If you need to travel a bit then you are welcome to come down on the evening of the 2nd and stay the night.

We'll do a full day of Kinglake on the 3rd, big bbq cook up in the late afternoon/evening and possibly do another run somewhere else on the 4th, but we'll just play it by ear anyway...

Look forward to meeting you all again!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn! Damn! Damn!

Hmmmmmmm...................

I am away in the High Country East of Kosciusko at a lovely place called Snuggen Buggen or something like that. Cant wait.

We leave just after Christmas and will be away until at least after the New Year. Not sure on the return day will be playing it by ear. There is a fair crew heading up.

If i get back i will try my darndest to get to this! If Bigus Rigus can get there from Brissy then i really have no excuse!

I'll do my best AB, I am on notice.

Great work Scotty, I'm sure us mexicans are looking forward to meeting the family mate.

Plenty of room for ya's so no problem at all.

I don't think we'll do a working bee. We're just too far apart down here to keep a regular working bee going thats all. I'm keen for a full service, quarter chop, front chop and body lift if we get time though..LMAO...jokes!

No probs MR, would be good to catch up mate. I know you'll love these tracks mate. From Slow and technical to powering up climbs, etc. Many optional tracks to choose and only a short drive from camp!

Hope you can make it mate!

Well well well....I just thought of a great working bee at my house on the Vic forum meet up...LMAO

I need to send the metal frames for the concrete water tank back to my brothers property to be re welded and fixed up, etc....

They have been sitting in the way from my house to the shed and I have not been able to run power to the shed without moving the frames.

My brother and I managed to get them off the trailer by ourselves but that was such an effort to just lift and drop so trying to lift back up onto a trailer would be near impossible....

Here we go....lol

I would love a helping hand from my fellow Patrol members for 10 minutes to have 3 blokes either side of the frames and lift them back on the trailer...LMAO

Should only take 10 minutes but will be a huge help for me....Arrr, I'm such a user!!!!

Thanks blokes, what a great team we have here....LMAO

Hey Scotty, yes mate there is LPG in Yarra Glen and we drive through that town before heading out.

The petrol station in Kinglake burnt down on Black Saturday so I dont think they have rebuilt that but a full tank of LPG will be more then enough for the day trip mate.

Is that how long your tank will last?

Hahaha ... here's the score ...

On the open road, my 90 litre tank will get me about 350klms maximum! On tracks and in 4wd (high or low) I reckon I'm looking at about half that ... when we went to Springs, I filled up at Warwick, drove 25klms on bitumen at 100k's per hour to the park, drove at the park (hammered it a little, but not much), drove 25klms back on bitumen and filled again at Warwick - did 87klms in total and used 57 litres!!!! lmfao ...

He's a thirsty little boy no doubt!!! Lol

Hahaha ... here's the score ...

On the open road, my 90 litre tank will get me about 350klms maximum! On tracks and in 4wd (high or low) I reckon I'm looking at about half that ... when we went to Springs, I filled up at Warwick, drove 25klms on bitumen at 100k's per hour to the park, drove at the park (hammered it a little, but not much), drove 25klms back on bitumen and filled again at Warwick - did 87klms in total and used 57 litres!!!! lmfao ...

He's a thirsty little boy no doubt!!! Lol

On first impression I thought bloody hell but did some sums which equate well to a Diesel (other than distance on a Tank)

Assumptions : Diesel $1.50 per Litre Gas 65c a Litre

Diesel 10 Litres per 100 K's = $15
Gas 26 Litres per 100 K's = $16.90

However on your 87 K's travelled on 57 Litres for some Highway and some Off Road your consumption is 65 Litres per 100 K's which is $42.25

BTW Scotty what consumption do you expect on ULP ??

O.K., looks as tho it is a definate goer, work is now sorted. . . These things take priority I think! I just checked google maps and it's about 138 meters from mine over to yours AB and should take approximatly 36 seconds. So if I leave on the 3rd at about 8.59 and 24seconds I should make it to yours by 9 am. Then if I leave sometime on the 4th I should be able to make it back that night traveling a total of 276 meters. Look forward to meeting everyone soon - should be a good trip, and a few cold ones afterward.

I got a map of Kinglake the other day. The area is quite small and I reckon we can knock that over in about 4 hours so we might be able to sneak across the road into Toolangi and show you guys some of the good tracks around there too.

I've always wanted to go up Rocky track in Toolangi but not sure if we would all be keen for that one. The track is asking for things to get broken...lol. We can have a sneaky look though.

Example: Hard to hold a beer in your hand on this track...LMAO

Bel, you can ignore anything I say about AFL - I know very little about it. But I have noticed a bit of heat when a couple of teams come up in conversation.

Haha, the plan is to tow the caravan in the Patrol to Dapto and get the missus to drive the work Triton I have at the moment.
Set it all up and spend a couple of nights there, then I could sneak out for 2-3 days while she's with family and I go and enjoy myself...lol

Unfortunately I can't bring the Patrol as it's the only tow vehicle so I need to leave it there just in case.
So I might have to jump in with someone to go 4wheeling...and find some shade under someones tarp...LOL

One thing that is good I have plenty of room for a huge esky in the back of the Triton

If anyone can refine this plan let me know....LOLOLOLO

I caught up with the guys this afternoon, sounds like they had a ball and some were very muddy. My first question was "Did AB get bogged?" and sadly the reply was no!!!

I arrived just before 6pm and a few of the guys were working on Tank and yes it needed a replacement part and yes the part was GU!!! I left just after 10 and Tank was up and running only minutes prior.

It was great to catch up with everyone at AB's, glad I went straight after work.

Thanks AB for the wonderful BBQ and thanks to Patch and AB's bro for the drinks!!

Now to nurse it back to Brissy in the morning and get the air con fixed ... and the locker /compressor fixed ... and the ignition system fixed ...and the TPS replaced ... and the ... ahhh, you get my point!!! lol

We have some great footage and awesome videos to show.

Everyone has just left and I'm waiting on my Iphone cord to come home from the misses so once I get that I'll put some goodies for us.

I think this was our best meet up yet!

My battery nearly exploded though...lol...The regulator in the alternator went which overcharged the battery up to 16V which scared the pants off me. I only realised when it was too late so now I'm up for both new battery and Alternator.

Gotta love it!

Poor Scotty came down hard and broke the power steering box. We got it back to my place then Plassy and I raced off to a 4x4 wreckers 45 minutes from home just in time before they closed and got him a new one, fitted that arvo.....That's service!!!

There's some full on side splitting stories to tell but I'll leave that to others...
