Australia Day meet up 2015 at Nissheads property... 23rd - 26th Jan

[Winnie]

Use some electrical jack chain to hold them back off the tyres

Dont use jack chain, if any little stick or something gets caught it will straighten out a link and fall off. Use cheap, solid link chain from a hardware store.

.....I assume everyone gen get to Captains flat so from there

Head west 9.5km on Captains Flat Rd(towards Braidwood)and turn right to South Forest Rd .
Head south 14.7km and turn/veer right onto South Forest Rd (same road )
Head southwest 2.5km and turn right to Cowangerong Fire Trail
Head north 1.5km and turn left to Tumanang Trail
Head west 1.6km and turn left into driveway (top gate)
keep driving till you reach paradise...LOL

Now, all tracks are sign posted and I will also put up "NissanPatrol.com.au"signs

If coming from Braidwwod you would go down Cooma Rd then onto Captains Flat Rd then you would be turning left onto South Forest Rd . The turn off is 40km from Braidwood.

I don't do the stickers unfortunately mate.

Snicko or Taslucas are the sticky gurus.

I still have some stickers left over from our last meet up at my place I'll throw in but not NP ones.

[HuskyInAuz]

Sorry, easily confused at this point in the evening medicinal intake curve.

[Rossco]

Hmmm. . . That map and directions was a bit confusing (or I'm a little slow - quite possible).

Think it should say east out of Captains Flat on Captains Flat Rd.

53589

So the property is the square where it says position 90 H4 Yeah?

[HuskyInAuz]

Southeast... actually Google Earth has the State Forrest Symbol right on his place.

The property is called "crow valley" below where you are thinking mate

[AB]

WTF....Now I'm lost???

In the town of Captains Flat is where Captains Flat Rd starts and is heading West then heads North??????

http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=53591&stc=1

[Rossco]

Ha Ha, Yeah that's what threw me. It's not marked Captains Flat on the PDF map, it's the red road heading east, then south from town.

[NissanGQ4.2]

Only one street I care about...... Foxlow Street where the pus is :)

[Bloodyaussie]

You are hopeless ab..... its easy.

[Maxhead]

Captains Flat Rd starts at Kings Hwy near Quenbeyan and runs through Captains Flat going towards Braidwood...Just folow the Braidwood sign out of Captains Flat...LOL

EDIT: The turn off is left at the Rural Fire Station.
Also,To get to the pub you would go right where the sign sais" Jeringle" and the pub is about 200m .

[Winnie]

It's alright Krisso I found it days ago... Even with your dodgy directions.

[HuskyInAuz]

If nothing else catch a Uber ride from Canberra or Captains Flat

[jack]

OK I assume that got your attention:

No one has mentioned it but what's the plan if it's a 'Severe' or 'Extreme' Fire Danger Rating over this weekend?

Don't want to be a party popper but I've been involved in a couple of wild fires and have no desire to ever repeat that.

Looks like it's an isolated entry with only one exit:
How clear/safe/fireproof in the camping area?
Is there any type of communications/monitoring of threats available?

[rusty_nail]

kriss is in the RFS down there mate, im sure hell have all those bases covered =D

[Bloodyaussie]

Our first Australia Day meet was in the middle of sever bush fires... we had the place to ourselves...

[Winnie]

Yes but we still have to be careful. I'm sure Kris has a plan under control.

Thanks for bringing this up Jack.

I've been paying perticular attention to see what would happen if a severe fire came through and I am confident to say we would be safe in the valley but I can not guarantee that.

It is very green currently and there is predicted 100+mm of rain in the next week and a little more further on.

I have and will again mow everything very short especially around the fire place. I have also slashed a lot of grass further from the camp ground but didn't finish the job as I broke the slasher...LOL

I also have a fire fighting pump with 50m hose in case..

Unfortunatelly, there is only one way in/out to the top gate but from there, there are a number of roads out. Also being up high nearly right on top of Great Dividing range you get to see whats comming. I also have radio reception so we could get updates incase there is a fire.

If the Fire Danger is going to be severe or extreme I will call in to the Captains Falt station to let them know we are having a shindig and organise a UHF channel to monitor.



That should cover it...next...LOL

Well I think we're on the way to getting that 100mm of rain, it's been coming down here for a couple hours and we're downwind (and a bit north) of the meetup. Radar (Captains Flat) looks promising.

[katwoman]

Jane-O and I are packed.

[Rossco]

Starting to get a little rain here, still a way to go tho. Hopefully the rivers are up and the dust is down. . . . And there are no fires either around or on the way up, should be looking good. :)

Yep we had some rain here to it would be nice if the river is up!

Yes, was thinking of that, can be bad for fires that area. There was one near Delagate, but it's contained now so should be all good. Going up that way too this year. When and which way you heading up Roofy?

going up on the 23 early via the monaro hwy to bredbo then up the jerangle rd to captains flat

[Rossco]

At this stage, as long as there are no fires, I am heading up Wed arvo/evening, staying a night around Marlo/Orbost somewhere, then heading up through Club Terrace on Thursday and having a bit of a look around. Planning on camping Thursday night at Ada River camp on the Errinundra Rd then heading up the remainder on Friday possibly lunch at Captains Flat if anyone else is keen (counterie :) ??)

Anyone is more than welcome to join it if they like should be a nice drive. (Winnie, Roofy, Kat or anyone else coming up from the south . . .)

[Maxhead]

Anyone coming from Cooma on Monaro Hwy without towing I would recommend turning right at Michelago and going through the Tinderry ranges(on Tinderry Rd) and turning right at Jerangle road, then turning left onto Anembo road. From there thake a left onto either Tumanang Fire Trail or Bald Peak Rd which will take you to my property.Or go bit further and do the Flat Ridge trail or Jerrabattgulla road(which the Bald Peak joins onto anyway) all these are on the map

This would cut a heap of time from traveling on the hwy and Tinderry is an awesome drive and so is the tracks off Anembo rd.

I've been giving this trip a heck of a lot of consideration and unfortunately for me I'm going to rule myself out. It's just too far for me to travel at this time and I need to be a bit kind to myself as I'll be returning to work for the first time in 8 weeks just a week beforehand.
It really pains me to make the call as it's a massive crew, would be an awesome weekend and I'm keen to check out Krisso's piece of paradise. If last years edition was anything to go by, this year it should be a cracker!
Have a great trip up there and I'm sure I'll see most of you again around another fire some time later this year.

[Winnie]

But as long as you please Winnie, then all is well.

Slightly off topic, the car gods just want to make my life hard ATM. Yesterday on the way home from wedding venue shopping, the dualis decided to shit itself and started missing. Turns out it's dropped a coil pack.

I just can't win with cars ATM. It's at the same mechanic the patrol is at and he took pity on me and the predicament. It will definitely be ready for the meetup, but if it isn't I'm still coming, will just be arriving in a tough as guts VW Polo!

Can't wait to see you all soon guys, looking forward to meeting some new faces!

[Rossco]

AT's will be fine Sean. Pretty rocky country I think, and should be touring sort of stuff I would imagine as opposed to tuff tracks, unless Krisso's got a few sneakies up his sleeve. . .

Yeah went through there years ago in a HQ Holden (Very irresponsible but we're still alive!!) Was beautiful, love to get back there one day. Never got down to Israelite bay, have to do that sometime.

Bloody hell Nicko, no good mate, bloody cars!! Looking forward to catching up over a coldie or two perhaps.?? :)

[Maxhead]

Ok, I'm thinking I'll do 3 huge roasts on the spit one night and maybe a small pig another so we'll need some sides to go with it. Maybe every camp could provide a small salad or anything else to go with the meat.

We don't want 20 garden salads so maybe everyone could post up what they can provide so we dont all do the same thing...

I'm providing the meat and NO I don't want donations ..LOL My shout bnoys and girls...I just have to let Jane know:)

[Bloodyaussie]

It official I will be flying solo for this trip.... I need a little me time so am leaving Wife ,kids and dogs at home.

Nic I feel ya pain mate......

[jack]

We don't want 20 garden salads so maybe everyone could post up what they can provide so we dont all do the same thing...


I'll pickup some potato salad on the way up (will be store bought), looking at the numbers I don't think it will be enough for everyone so others feel free to bring the same.

Put me down for either a Watermelon and Onion salad or roast potatoes, pumpkin and beetroot with sour cream.

Still trying to convince the wife to come along. She is a little shy and was asking if there were any other females/families going. She is also worried about the toilet and shower facilities. (Bloody city slickers....) I am going out to buy a portable loo seat to put over the hole and going to also get a shower bucket for her. Hopefully that wil convince her to come along.

Cheers,

Rob

mate, there will be HEAPS of other girls there! Tegan is coming along with her friend stacey, ABs missus leah is coming, Nissheads missus fiona, Kat, Jane, Amy, Belinda, the list is right there. she will definately NOT be the only one there.

Tegan had the same reservations before our first meetup but after she met everyone she was convinced, and even girls aside, some of the blokes like george and dazz are just big girls albeit a little more hairy anyway so she will fit right in!

make sure you make this one thing apparent:

the meetups arent just about 4wding, last time it was about 40% when we were at the brindebellas, the rest of the time we were swimming in the creek, having a laugh and telling a story, taking some excellent snaps, maybe even just kicking a footy around or relaxing by the campfire. she will thoroughly enjoy herself and come home feeling nice and relaxed if she comes

[Clarkie]

Do we have enough salad? Should I bring something else?
If not I will bring not your typical garden variety, garden salad :)

Well just pour the sauce on individually up there.

G'day everyone,

Kris posted some instructions on how to get to his place earlier on in this thread but I found them a little difficult as Google Maps labels some of the roads down there a little differently. So I have created some simple instructions as well as a map that you can view and follow on Google Maps.

They start at the intersection of Captains Flat Road and S Forest Way. You will be able to create a "Directions to here" at this point from wherever you are traveling from.

If you have any questions just let me know:

Directions to Kris's place.

1. Turnoff from Captains Flat Road onto S Forest Way is -35.630910, 149.521592 (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B037'51.3%22S+149%C2%B031'17.7%22E/@-35.63091,149.521592,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)

3. Turn Right onto Cowangerong Fire Trail at -35.754939, 149.518341 (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B045'17.8%22S+149%C2%B031'06.0%22E/@-35.754939,149.518341,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)

Don't worry, I'll have no aircon either.......well the hot part works!!!! Probable won't have a stereo working either and don't think I can be farked pulling the UHF out of the patrol so I have some sort of communications in the crappadore.

I'm planning to be at the pub in Captains flats Friday lunchtime, that's if I don't brake down or get lost between here and there *L*

Shait I missed that one Toddy, If you can that would be great!
I can probably supply around 24-30 home grown...lol eggs. I have an egg tree at the moment:)

I'll get the BBQ out so we can cook in bulk but it's not the biggest but will do fine

In that case maybe you could organise those rolls Nicco...

FARK, I feel fat already

Kris posted some instructions on how to get to his place earlier on in this thread but I found them a little difficult as Google Maps labels some of the roads down there a little differently. So I have created some simple instructions as well as a map that you can view and follow on Google Maps.

They start at the intersection of Captains Flat Road and S Forest Way. You will be able to create a "Directions to here" at this point from wherever you are traveling from.

If you have any questions just let me know:

Directions to Kris's place.

1. Turnoff from Captains Flat Road onto S Forest Way is -35.630910, 149.521592 (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B037'51.3%22S+149%C2%B031'17.7%22E/@-35.63091,149.521592,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)

2. Follow S Forest Way to the fork at Gum Creek Road and S Forest Way, veer to the left and stay on S Forest Way. 35°41'26.5"S 149°32'06.6"E (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B041'26.5%22S+149%C2%B032'06.6%22E/@-35.6906944,149.5351667,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)

3. Turn Right onto Cowangerong Fire Trail at -35.754939, 149.518341 (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B045'17.8%22S+149%C2%B031'06.0%22E/@-35.754939,149.518341,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)

4. Turn Left onto Tumanang Fire Trail at -35.741239, 149.519859 (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B044'28.5%22S+149%C2%B031'11.5%22E/@-35.741239,149.519859,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)

5. Travel 1.6km and turn left into driveway (top gate) at -35.735274, 149.505209 (https://www.google.com.au/maps/place/35%C2%B044'07.0%22S+149%C2%B030'18.8%22E/@-35.735274,149.505209,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0x0)


Here is a link to a map that I created on Google Maps. Start at the first marker and work your way down the list.

Shait I missed that one Toddy, If you can that would be great!
I can probably supply around 24-30 home grown...lol eggs. I have an egg tree at the moment:)

I'll get the BBQ out so we can cook in bulk but it's not the biggest but will do fine

In that case maybe you could organise those rolls Nicco...

FARK, I feel fat already

Kris, I will bring my 4 burner portable BBQ and gas bottle that we can use.

[AB]

Done done....

No worries mate, I'll have about 24-30 home laid fresh eggs also, so with yours that should be plenty.

How many kilo's of bacon should I get???

Your guess is as good as mine, thinking maybe 3-4kg should cover it?!?!?

Wow, kinda missed the whole cook up thing, looks like a massive feast is in order. I can do some roast spuds in the fire, maybe Torpie ones if Winnie can get a sack full. . . Looks like salads are pretty well sorted. I can bring some home grown eggs as well if needed.

Have got a few maps and done a bit of research of the area. Looks like there's some pretty cool sights to be seen (sound a bit like old Coighty - "The most scenic scenery to be seen. With mountains that stretch for as far as the eye can see. . . And even further with binoculars)!! Ahh anyways . . . The Big Hole, Wyanbene caves and the Bendethera caves all look pretty impressive. All in limestone country with big openings and stalagtights etc, a little bit of walking involved but not too far about a couple of K's to each. Might need to work off that sticky date anyway by the sounds of it. . .

No worries on the spuds mate. 5kg bag do it do you reckon?

[Rossco]

Yeah sweet, should be right. 5 kgs of Torpies best!! (or Thorpie maybe) :)

Ok, quick update.

After 90 odd mm of rain the place is green as but the roads are a bit rougher but fine to get into. We can get a lot of whinching practice just in the back yard as the whole place is like a big swamp...LOL

Hopefully no more rain till the meet but I think a bit is due early next week so it could be wet as the ground is slow draining.

Any way

The place is ready to party...YeeeeHaaaa!!!
