Nissan Patrol Forum meet up - Easter 2012

[AB]

Hi everyone, here is a new thread for the 2012 forum meet up.

The meet up will be held Easter 2012 and everyone is welcome.

The original discussions of the meet up can be located here. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/showthread.php?489-2012-NissanPatrol-Forum-Trip-Registration-of-Interest

We had to start a new thread and do a poll to see where the majority are coming from to work out a location to best suit.

If you are going to join us then please vote above.

We are leaning towards a nice remote spot in SA with good fishing, tracks, etc but let's see how this poll turns out.

[DX grunt]

AB,

Where's the Poll? hahahahaha

EDIT. Well....it wasn't there when I last looked, but it is now. Well done. Nicely put.

AB,

I had to post it first then add the poll..lol...Slow down Rossco...lol...I knew someone would see this in the 5 seconds after I posted it.

[BillsGU]

SA has some great camps - only problem is very few are free. They always want a hand out (which I don't object to) but they rarely have facilities (which cheeses me off a bit).

We're looking at Loveday at the moment - any thoughts on it? They always cost, and does have facilities, but we were concerned about tourist crowds etc.

Who's the other West ozzie that put their hand up?

He Andy / Mod squad,
Whats your thoughts on another poll, We know which members are attending the 2012 bash, but do we know actual number of people attending,
# of Adults / Children with each member.
Would be good to get an idea of how many people will be attending.

Cheers Pete

Good idea - we have 3 cars, 4 adults and 4 kids already confirmed, so the numbers will add up fast no doubt.

You gotta make it just to show everyone that setup you have - simply outstanding ... oh ... and for a beer or ten!!!

[Bigrig]

Yer Scotty, we have 2 cars, 4 adults and 1 little tacka confirmed as well.

Yep - that's five cars, 8 adults and 5 kids from just 2 of the 19 attendees ... as said, bloody good idea Pete - AB, any chance of some sort of poll that you can add numbers to?? Cars, Adults, Kids, Dogs, Cats (for target practice), etc, etc?

That looks like a top spot also Mick ... again, I don't care too much where it's at, so long as there is fishing, 4wd'ing, and not too many tourists, I'll be a happy camper (boom boom)!!!

[Dark 1]

Supposed to be off the beer buuuuuutttttt, might have to have 10 or so. Really tryin to get their but we'll see how it goes. Might even have some new additions to the old girl by then. [i mean the gu]

[cnw351]

Just need to book hols now, hopefully they arn't all gone on the roster

[Bigrig]

If the QLD meetup was anything to go by, then the national meetup will be nothing short of spectacular!! Great people, common interests, and a willingness to trust in the group and give things a go ... the forum gathering will be simply epic!!!

[Bob]

from the locations of the members interested Cameron's Corner looks the place LOL LOL

[Sir Roofy]

from the locations of the members interested cameron's corner looks the place lol lol

carefull there bob it just might happen

[Bob]

haha not sure how the fishing would go there bob! Great part of the world though.

never been there unfortunately. From my fishing results lately it would not matter if there was no fishing

[growler2058]

Regarding Loveday tourist etc etc if you get in early and speak to Tony the owner, you will be able to book one of the quieter camp sites. We normally book a site called "WoodY" its off the main track so you dont have everyone passing your site to get to theirs, if its dry the dust can get a bit annoying. The sites are "absolute river frontage" so fishin/yabbying etc is an easy task. The amenities up at the tavern are basic, but fine dunnies male and female and showers. Get in early for a shower as the line up can get long on a busy long weekend public holiday, (they ask for a gold coin donation quite reasonable) as long as they turned the hot water on. As with anywhere occassionally you can get a dickhead but I have never had a problem and Tony and his mob do a good job of keeping it good. Rules are in place for your safety and others and you sign a waiver of course. In saying that they dont police it really heavily. I had a "dickhead" mate in his jeep, doors off, no seat belt coupla grogs in him got some air time on 1 of the tracks and nearly fell out.......very funny to see except i was the passenger and sudenly the driver was hanging out the opening with very litl control of the vehicle and i was gripping the oh F@#K me bar saying the same profanity. They made him put his half doors on or no more play.

Top stuff mate!! And no trouble for me regarding the line up - I'll just not shower for four days and do my bit to keep the flies off everyone else!!! LOL

[Bob]

Loveday looks to be the spot.

[wildgu6]

We know which members are attending the 2012 bash, but do we know actual number of people attending, New poll required.
# of Adults / Children with each member, Would be good to get an idea of how many people will be attending, and a number of vehicles
so something can be sorted. Good spots get booked out 12 months in advance.
For me 2 vehicles, 4 adults and 1 child. That number wont change

The poll has already been done....hasn't it - and Loveday was victorious?

Don't we just need numbers and somebody to book the venue? I understand things change, but we need a base number - somewhere to start from.

Don't forget to ask for group booking discount.
