Cape york as the 2016 meetup?

[Punderhead]

Hi all. I'm planning to go to the cape in 2016, around July/august. Being a rather large trip, I figure a year and a half should almost be adequate planning time. I have been unable to make prior meet ups, mainly due to family commitments, but screw them hahaha I just want to go to an iconic destination with a great bunch of blokes (and gals) and have a good time. Just an eoi at this stage but keen to get peoples thoughts.

Going
Punderhead
Greg + Tess (punderheads mates)
Hopefully a fair few others aswell. Cheers

EDIT: meetup date, 20th September, 2016 Meetup location, bramwell station Cheers

Sorry I hope this is ok to post without checking with ab/mods seeing as how u said maybe being a national meetup.

[Punderhead]

Also feel free to suggest the best dates, must stop places, etc... I know I want to go but that's it at the moment, I haven't planned an itinerary yet.

Yeah, I'd be interested.

FWIW I reckon if you want to organise a Meetup just do it like the last one.
Make it a "place" on a "date" and meet.
Whatever happens after, happens.
People attending then make their own Itinerary around getting there IE Dash or Tour

Yeah that is the plan however I just wanted to see who was interested first, approximate dates to suit and then set a date. I.e if most people interested have school kids make it during holidays. If not make it after holidays.

I'll probably start a poll in a couple of weeks and then set a date

Cheers

Mate take it from me... set the dates.... you will go back and forward otherwise.

Set all the relevant info as law and not open for debate as it just bites you in the bum otherwise.

Once the dates are set everything will come together... has a way of building its own steam mate.

What BA said ^^^^

Dates are of no consequence to me... well 'cept Xmas.
If you want to do the Cape in Xmas send me the Vid instead

I'd suggest pick a school holiday period.
Now most say stay away from holiday times. But it's the cape. Not high on the average persons holiday agenda.

Secondly. When is a good time to travel up there?? I would think maybe march to June maybe??
Not to hot, not cyclone season. Etc etc...

I've always wanted to do cape. But fark she'd be a trip for me. South to north...

Yeah mate I hear ya. I'm dreading the long drive and fuel bill and I live in qld. Was going to go 2015 but changed my mind to 2016 so I have enough time to save some coin. Once I have a computer in my hands I'll whack up a short poll with some definite dates I think.

Cheers
