2016 Trip Planner/Action Plan thread

[DX grunt]

Just putting this out there.

I'd love to drive over east in 2016 to see my relatives in Victoria (Alexandra and Warburton) and in NSW (Eden)

I need to put in for my 2016 hols in the next couple of months.

Please put your ideas, etc, for 2016 in this thread.

I'd love to do another trip but really need to concentrate on buying a house! I think you can afford to have a pizza night for old mate Rossco!!! ;)

[AB]

If your wanting to come over Rossco for family we could organise a local weekend for you followed by a church visit and some local love?

[DX grunt]

A pizza in church! What more could a man want? lol

Have any West Aussies been to church yet?

I draw the line at kissing another Tojo badge. Been there, done that. lol.

I mean a big trip! Haha there will be plenty of local trips for sure, and I'm sure many pizzas.

So it seems sa school runs threw easter again next year. Starts 1 week after.
If you guys make it during a holiday period id say pretty positively we'll be in it.
We haven't got to much planned this year so could do a week trip. Not that you guys have to do a week, we'd just make it worth while.

[Maxhead]

We also have a Tassie trip thread going for late this year...maybe a a meetup next year???

[Winnie]

It's just totally different.

Flinders Ranges could be good

[BigRAWesty]

Flinders Ranges could be good

Yep. I agree with that

[DX grunt]

Bump.

Any advances on the Flinders Ranges?

[Cuppa]

If you wanna be sociable we’ve got a spot for the Prez to stop over on the way through to the church.

Thanks heaps.

I really need a local knowledge decision about dates sooner rather than later, coz I'll have a better chance of getting approval for holidays. No complaining if I don't get them. lol

Ideally, I'd like to be able to visit over east when it's not fire season and campfires can be lit, but I don't want to get soaked by torrential downpours.

More importantly, my truck is allergic to mud. Must be the new rims and tyres. lol. My wish list also includes not going more than 50m off the bitumen. PML.

I've got the wife knitting jumpers, beanies and scalfs already, coz I know how cold it gets over there. I was born in Vic and lived there the first 17 years of my life.

I'm self sufficient and not high maintenance! lol.

You left out the bit about liking long walks on the beach, lycra against your skin and Bette Midler movies...

[DX grunt]

I've decided to head east late September for about 4-5 weeks, and hopefully there aren't camp fire restrictions at that time.

Looking forward to eating a wood fire cooked pizza, or two in church. lol.
