Victorian meet up Jan 25th-28th 2013 Walhalla

[Bloodyaussie]

We will be camping at O'Tooles campground and I will attach notes below from directions and discussions from Chester and Winnie

Memebers will arrive Thursday arvo to try and secure campsite and the meet goes till Monday.

Depending on numbers and experience of those that come we will have novice group and experienced group, we ask that the minimum requirement be that of proper rated recovery points front and back.

I will lead out the novices for a drive.

There are toilets but no running water so you need to be self sufficient, carry out what you carry in..... there may be a total fire ban so no open fires.

We welcome all and for those that have not come along before we are all a friendly bunch who like to have a good time without being louts.... except for Healy and Kris maybe???

We suggest also having your own maps and uhfs are a must whether it be handheld or fixed.

Here are some notes from discussions about directions..




I reckon "O" tooles would be the spot mate big open area heaps of room for all, who ever gets there first just spread out,it was a market garden in days gone by.Its very easy to find also.There are two ways to get to it,the easiest to explain is go through Walhalla untill you get to a sign that says Baw Baw national park, just before that the road veers to the left and starts to head down hill and another road veers to the right and heads uphill take the right onto BINNS RD follow untill the T intersection,Then turn left on to Mcevoys and follow untill you find Donnellays crk trk on your left,the one before it is Willamsons trk,once on Donnellys follow it until you see "O" tooles on your right.

The other way is to head for the Thompson dam over the wall and continue untill the T intersection turn left and follow untill you find Merringtons spur on the right.Follow that untill you come to a Juction with a track going right down on a camp ground hard left or straight either one of these two will take to to same spot only the staight ahead one has an extra river crossing.

If you turn left follow that around pass Juction hut(also known as Pats hut) to the river crossing NOW take care with this DO NOT i repeat DO NOT head to the left as there is a massive deep hole there,Head straight to the other side then exit the river turn left and drop into the second crossing.Follow that track untill another juction with a track veering left and one right, head right down the hill past Jorgesons hut over the river and follow untill you find "O"tooles on your left.

If you miss Merringtons spur dont stress keep following the main road and donnellys trk will be further up on you rightjust follow your nose through Tombom and you come to the juction mentioned above.
Its all clearlly maked on the map.

If it is the same place as we camped last year Roofy will catch the local Goanna and tie it up in the middle of the Camp Ground which will keep the tourists at Bay. LOL
