[Bigrig]

I've started mapping out our trip - my word I'm excited!!! So is the official meet up dates the actual weekend of Easter? We more than likely won't hit Loveday until the 9th!

Easter Monday is fine with me. I think there has to be allowances for us 'non locals'.

Scotty, if everybody leaves, my campfire will still be burning for you and your crowd..
Remember, it's still BYO. lmao

[Bigrig]

I have a dilemma!!!! Which way to go!!!

Dhuck, Hempo another mate coming, and myself want to do an "All Aussie Adventure" trip {Russell Coight style}, but the girls want to site see. So what's your thoughts - option 1 or option 2. Don't worry about the stopovers, just the tour route itself ....

Option 1

Loveday to Port Augusta
Port Augusta to Coober Pedy
Coober Pedy to Oodnadatta
Oodnadatta to Yulara
Yulara to Kings Canyon
Kings Canyon to Alice Springs
Alice Springs to Tobermorey [via the Plenty Highway]
Tobermorey to Bedourie
Bedourie to Windorah
Windorah to Mitchell
Mitchell to Brisbane

Positives - get to see Ayres Rock and Kings Canyon [again for me]. Negatives - lots of bitumen. Trip distance 7,183 klms.

Option 2 [the right choice ... lol]
Brisbane to Loveday via northern NSW/western SA [Walgett, Bourke, Malparinka, Cameron Corner, the Strzelecki Track!!, Lyndhurst]
Loveday to Port Augusta
Port Augusta to Coober Pedy
Coober Pedy to Oodnadatta
Oodnadatta to William Creek [via the Oodnadatta Track!!!]
William Creek to Marree [via the Oodnadatta Track!!!]
Maree to Birdsville [via the Birdsville Track!!!]
Birsdville to Longreach
Longreach to Emerald
Emerald to Biloela
Biloela to Kingaroy
Kingaroy to Brisbane

Positives - EVERYTHING. Negatives - NOTHING. Trip distance 6,698 klms.

Hmmmm ... decisions, decisions ...

I hope you're all putting away the pennies and planning on being there ... I'm half cut and fully excited at the prospect - everyone bar none that I've met from the forum is top dollar, big spin so this should be an absolute corker!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I get there and the park is empty ... well ... apart from being disappointed at not meeting you, it'll mean dhuck and I are getting putrid by ourselves beside a big campfire ... and we could do that in my back yard!!! So get cracking people ... only 10 months to go!!!!!!!

[Dark 1]

Looking foward to it to scotty, come on 2012.

Good work Belz, always good to have another member coming along.

Going to be the trip of the century this one...lol

[DX grunt]

Even I'm starting to crack a smile at the 6,000 km round trip. I'm gunna head to Victoria to see my rellies after THE EVENT.

Looks promising that I'll convoy to Loveday, then convoy to Vic - then solo back to WA, unless I come across some Patrols on the way back!!!

Plassy, bring back your vid clip - quick . lol

[Bigrig]

I'm dead set pumped!!!! Doing an awesome trip with the meetup in the middle of it ... Lordy, I canny wait!!!

[Bigrig]

Soooo ... what dates is everyone planning on being there? Reason I ask is we have to travel 2000 klms to get there and obviously won't be able to be there on the first days of the Easter Break (same problem for most who are travelling fair distances I'd suggest). What I don't want to happen is we get there after two thirds of people have gone!!

We look like lobbing in around the 9th April ... will everyone still be there by then??

[AB]

I'm happy to follow the other Victorians...

Good Friday is on the 6th April so if majority of Vics are heading up then, then I will follow on that day and I'll be staying for whatever amount of time everyone else is then shoot across to my mates station.

Maybe a 5 days at Loveday???

Love the pics Steve, nice work.
Go to Loveday couple times a year and love it, but some of those shots were a bit more intimate than ive seen (backwaters-s***creek),
Comp track, playground and Mickey T as far as ive seen.
Hope to see you there in 2012, or before, enjoy mate and thanks for the snaps

[Bigrig]

Nice work mate, keep in touch with the forum when the dates get closer too.

[frenzy]

Hmmmmmmm. I just read through all 18 pages of this thread. This could be a goer for us.

[frenzy]

Last year I was up that way at Wentworth for my 30th...One of the locals got a water melon, drilled a hole at the top and poured an entire bottle of vodka in it and left it to settle all day...

We ate it that night for my birthday present...lol...Never again....Didn't even know my own name 10 minutes later!

Used to do this a bit in my crazy single days. If we were having a short notice pissup, we would drill the hole in the top of the watermelon and jam the top of the vodka bottle in, then leave it in front of the sub woofer with some AC/DC or something belting out really loud. The vibes would get the vodka infused in an hour or two max. Ahhhh, memoriessssssss............... LOL!

It's a big trip for most of us, but if you can make it, that would be fan bluddy tastic. I'm heading to Vic after that, so it's gunna be about a 6k round trip for me.

B C N U there.

Take care out there.

I havnt taken much note of this thread are there any definates from the QLD connection?? I would like to convoy there I think

[AB]

A convoy would be good to do mate. Theres a convoy from Vic going across.

I think there is a few QLD'ers doing a convoy. I think in the new year when the dates get closer we will put up a proper convoy thread in different states to get everyone involved and you can all meet somewhere and go from there.

[growler2058]

there wont be as many as first thought

[growler2058]
