[HuskyInAuz]

Just back as we had a previous 1200 commitment on Australia Day and didn't know how long it would take us to get back. Wish we could have stayed longer, excellent time. I think I might have a slipping clutch from the up/down/up/down woop de doos on the road to Kris's... Anyway we road as passengers for the Friday run. After a nice drive a few decided to test the waters .. the leader didn't make it through the first crossing
54294
the rest of the lemmings followed with varying success on the southward journey, I believe it was 50/50..

On the north sojourn, the leader lead by example... others not so.
542955429654297

Rossco and BloodyAussie sacrificed their bodies to get a great mud treatment getting the northbound stragglers out.

To add a bit of salt.. the cookout on Saturday was excellent, all the food was great and the 55 mm (I had a semi-official glass jar set out) of rain prior too the serving keep everyone warm cramped under the couple of emergency gazebo's put up.

[HuskyInAuz]

Victoria arriving, at least a few :)

5430354304

[BigRAWesty]

Property looks awesome.

[HuskyInAuz]

It's very nice and the hosts were very generous in having us there. The south 40 won't be doing much haying this year given the doughnuts left and probably visible at the ISS.
There were a couple of better equipped photographers there and apparently between the two of us we have pictures across 4 devices.
Last two from me, I'm sure there will be a lot more and we have that silly 1200 function.

P.S wash your car Jonathan it filthy.

[MudRunnerTD]

Well been home about 20 minutes. Another big day in the car.

kris and Fiona thank you for your hospitality and generosity, we had an amazing weekend. Was fantastic that there was a great group of kids the right age for both my kids to want to spend time out of camp playing like we once did as kids. No thought to where they might be and confident that they were having a great time in a safe environment in the Dirt and the Rain. Loved it.

Oh how I wish your property was closer mate, I'd be all over that!!! What an amazing spot you have. Congratulations and well done bud. Simply paradise. Damn you for living in Canberra though! Broadford would have been awesome.

I have been having all sorts of trouble with Motorculture on the iPhone but will see about getting some pics up but here is the iPad Hema Plot for each way trip.

Trip up

Yes being only 13 weeks old I thought it would be a bit of a pain... He really has been the perfect companion.
I had to check cars as they left the camp sites... A few members wanted to kidnap him haha.
He made a good friend in Jack the Kelpie.

I must say thank you Chris for the Lamingtons on Australia Day was a nice touch.. I actually enjoyed working on my car with everyone pulling up a spot and relaxing while having a quiet drink and a lamington was a nice touch.

Just walked down the street in Bermagui to get a pizza and now relaxing by the tent listening to some good music

[Winnie]

Aaaaaand now I'm having a beer in the rain. Bloody good pizza though.

[katwoman]

Left this morning unfortunately. A massive big thank you to Fiona and her husband for allowing us to stay for the week. Staying in a cabin in Bombala tonight after a messy drive. Then on to the horrid unpacking and cleaning tomorrow. I cannot thank you guys enough. Great to catch up with others as always and have new people turning up. We all enjoyed ourselves immensely and had trouble leaving ( literally ). Will try to post pics maybe next week.

[relyimah]

Thanks Kris and Fiona.... What a lovely few days!! To those I'd met before, it was great catching up, and to the new faces, was great to meet you! Couldn't get a better bunch!
Just home and had dinner after a lovely stop-over in Wee Jasper last night with the Family4x4 crew... Unpacking the essentials and then time to flake out.

Thanks to everyone for making it an awesome trip!

[Winnie]

We are home and partly unpacked... Tent is set up and will dry in a few days...
I spent a lot of time trying to get this tent waterproof and although it's 10x better than when I bought it, it let us down a bit.
Looking into the camper trailer idea...

[Rossco]

I've got none but Rossco took heaps. So you'll see them in 6 months Hahaha.
We left Rossco yesterday as he headed into the bush and we'll meet him again at Mallacoota probably Thursday


He also took a heap of good ones inside the cave we went into. Let's hope he gets organized.

Ha Ha Yes Yes very good!!

Arrived at Mallacoota this arvo after a couple of days exploring around Deua National Park- pretty cool spot and slowly cruising down the the coast. Heading home on sunday and will get some photos up then as they are all on the camera.

That spot round Potato Point was pretty cool - very different country. Looks like your home now, hope the rest of your trip was good winnie + amy (+diesel)

Thanks to Krisso + Fiona for the weekend and sharing your property. Wow what a lucky score that place is, it's bloody amazing.

Time to relax for a couple of days. (Not that the past week has been stressful) then . . . On the move. . . for the final leg of the journey. . .

[Winnie]

Sorry Ross, I tried calling you today to catch up in Mallacoota but your phone was out of service so we kept driving.

[Rossco]

Sorry Ross, I tried calling you today to catch up in Mallacoota but your phone was out of service so we kept driving.

Yeah no worries didn't pop out into civilization and turn the phone on till bout 3 ish - all good. Sounds like you had a bit more rain than me, there was only a light shower in the mountains, quite cool tho. There's supposed to be 50mm of rain here tomorrow. . . Might work on me tan at tha beech . . .

I would also like to personally thank

Ben for leading me into the property and giving the old crappadore a push when It got hung up over one of the humps and Roofy and Jane for using there brand new clean snatch strap 2 get me out of the mud on the way out and Kat and Steve for towing the camping trailer out.

And Growlers for letting me go shot gun for the day drive.

And BA and Ben for teaching me some gun basics and letting me have a few shots, very first for me shooting a rifle and enjoyed it :)
Thanks guys and girls, very much appreciated :)

Edit: End a big thanks goes 2 George also for offering 2 tow my camper out :)

One hour east of my place which is one hour north east of cbd is around 100k. Land only 1 acre blocks in towns like reefton etc.

Need to find one of those properties around Matlock or Aberfeldy. Pretty rare for something comparable to come up. Krisso has stuck gold. . . 100% surrounded by National Park is bloody brilliant.

This would not be too bad

I cannot look at these things as I start to get depressed... was looking a couple of years ago but have been told. Insert rifle here...lol

I know of a property only 35min away that is on 100 acres with 2 thirds bush and one cleared for $300,000+.... I love the property and often shoot there.

Same here. I know of a few up Whittlsea way at the moment which are somewhat my dream properties, but I cannot look at them as we're not in a position to buy/move, so I'd just get depressed like you say.

I think you're going to struggle to find anything that comes anywhere near Nissheads. Perfect location, it's got everything you could possibly wish for.
As far as I could see there's only one drawback - to damn far away from my place. :biggrin:

[katwoman]

Ha Ha Yes Yes very good!! Arrived at Mallacoota this arvo after a couple of days exploring around Deua National Park- pretty cool spot and slowly cruising down the the coast. Heading home on sunday and will get some photos up then as they are all on the camera. That spot round Potato Point was pretty cool - very different country. Looks like your home now, hope the rest of your trip was good winnie + amy (+diesel) Thanks to Krisso + Fiona for the weekend and sharing your property. Wow what a lucky score that place is, it's bloody amazing. Time to relax for a couple of days. (Not that the past week has been stressful) then . . . On the move. . . for the final leg of the journey. . .

Did you go back to the big hole ?

[Bloodyaussie]

To be honest Kris's place is not my dream place... I loved it dont get me wrong but I am after something else in a place... upon saying that what he paid you could not find anything close to that.

And yes Hodge our position has changed a lot in the last year and there is no way in hell we could afford to move at the moment let alone buy a property... how things change hey.

There's heaps out Dargo, Licola way for reasonable prices.

[Rossco]

Yeah did the walk to the big hole and marble arch, pretty impressive. Drove into Bendethera valley and stayed the night there on the Deua river. Beautiful spot reminded me of Wonnongatta valley with cleared areas in the valley surrounded by mountains. Plenty of river crossings too and awesome drive out along the Mercumbene fire trail. Steep sections but easy drive with great views to the coast and mountains.

...........all those prices are a rip off!! Hahaha suckers!!!!!
My grandparents are selling their part of the farm (it was only a yearly holiday place anyway as they live in Adelaide).
Just shy of 50 acres, about 40 of which is cleared, fenced farm land, the rest is old growth forest, has a big old shed and a small one bedroom dwelling, completely surrounded by kilometres of old growth crown land (which is way better than national park). 20 minutes drive from wynyard, about 50 mins from devonport. Two dams and a natural spring. Half on a hill with great views. Approval has just been given for a large 4 bedroom house. On a dead end road with only one person living past it. Set back off the road......etc etc..... 200k and it's yours

O Dear, yeah i think it ended up in Mattys car. . . Sorry jono, I blame Darren he was looking at it first out of your vehicle.

Yeah was a bit of a death march, did 20K that day 12 to marble arch & back then 8 up to the Bendethera caves & back from the valley. Was good tho, a few creek crossings on the caves walk, ended up with a few cheeky leeches at the end. Was good tho. . .

To be honest Kris's place is not my dream place...

So whats your dream place Johno????

The only draw back I found with Kris's property is its about 10 thousand acres 2 small for my liking :) But 160 acres surrounded by NP would be awesome

[Maxhead]

So whats your dream place Johno????

I think he needs a KFC or Maccas on his property....lol

.....on the move

i turned off at Bredbo then up Jerangle rd about 60ks ( approx ) then in on the left , about 10mins shy of Captains Flat from memory .

[Sprock]

i just remembered we’d go over Balinfanad crk ( or something like that ) , up the on top of the hill then swing in a skinny little gate amongst the trees on the left through scraggly native bush about 1.5ks to a private pine plantation. if that means anything to you
