Licola meet up 2016 need numbers today!!!

[mudski]

Yeah I am, gonna take a break from it while in Bali but probably go sober again for the rest of the year.
I'm 32kg down so far so at least I have something to show for it.

Wow! Good on you mate! Thats awesome. Ive gone two weeks so far with no booze or sugar. Not easy.

[Winnie]

Thanks mate. It gets easier and you will stop missing it soon enough.

[mudski]

Thanks mate. It gets easier and you will stop missing it soon enough.

Hmm not me. Im doing Dry July so its only for this month. I started early so I can finish before the snow trip... Lol.
But we'll see after this what happens whether I stay off or not. I have a drink every night, just a glass or two of wine, not much, but thats what I grew up with. Italian family, my dad would have a glass or two of red every night, now I do it.

[Winnie]

I think the hardest part is breaking habits. I used to always have a beer when I got home from work and that was a hard habit to break.
Worst one for me though was eating while watching TV. Kept telling myself I was hungry when really I was bored. Now I will go for a walk or read something instead.

[Sprock]

No booze & no sugar ?! Kill me now . You must have your reasons & good on you for doing it. When I split up with my 1st missus I got blind drunk a few times - it doesn't fix any problems but it gives your head a break from dealing with it all for a few hrs , then I made a decision to stop drinking all together - I had a fair bit going on so needed a clear head , not that I drank much anyway just 1 or 2 stubbies a night but if I didn't stop I think I would've gone the other way & just drank all the time . Had about 3 months off it & felt great . Was bloody hard because I was working away at the time & living with a heap of blokes in a house just up the rd from the pub , we'd have tea their most nights but I just drank lemonade . Once I got things sorted I went back to 1 or 2 a night .

I wasn't sure if people were just going straight up the bitumen to Licola or doing a tour on the way in, is there any set plans yet?

If someone feels like taking charge on roast and veg for 40+ we can all chip in $$$$

[Winnie]

Yeah that would be a big job and I'm not keen on that... I nearly ruined roast dinner for 4 blokes in the dessert, imagine if I ruined roast dinner for 40 blokes!

[Sprock]

So if all the high flyers are meeting near 🆎s place at 8 that puts them in Heyfield by 11 . I assume you're coming down the coast Rusty ? Has anyone noticed that AB is the only one with his own personal Emoji ? The grand poobah indeed 😝

[Sprock]

Where you coming from mate ?

[Sprock]

Heyfield is the only main rd nth to Licola mate , there are 'scenic' rds in - over the Thomson dam , Aberfeldy , over my Selma & drop into Licola from the nth ( gravel rd & most likely snow over Selma ) . But the rd from Heyfield is the main & only Bitumen rd in .

[MudRunnerTD]

Coming from Geelong with 2 kids that can get a little car sick so Heyfield sounds like the go from Rosedale maybe

[Sprock]

Yeah or turn off at Traralgon - past Hungry jacks then up on top of the hill where TJM is on the corner - left onto MAFFRA rd .

Cold and wet all next week!

Happy to put it Johnno as many people may have forgotten.

$44 per adult above 16
$27. Kids 5 - 16

Under 5 free

Winnie, they have everything available. Pots, pans, plates, cutlery etc.

Those prices are heaps dearer to what you had on the first page???

I think we get a discount if we all pay together in one lump sum and the prices I just got then are if we are paying individually.

[rusty_nail]

So you're leaving Tegan to do all the moving ya jerk!

weve payed removalists mate, can you believe for only $1100 lol. the house is already packed up and she wont even be there to sort them out, and that also works out too, as ill be there when the removalists arrive at the other end!

I reckon they're taking the piss! They quoted our 4WD club a cheaper price again and that's for a lot less people and paying separately.

[JonnoD]

Hmmm they proably forgot what they quoted you. Winnie what was the exact price the club was quoted? We can always reply to them saying "ohh but you origonally quoted $xxx". Most people will drop the rate then

Mudrunner- via Rosedale is probably the simplest way to Heyfield so I'd go with that , it'll be a steady trip to Licola if your kids get car sick - 10mins out of Heyfield it gets very windy all the way to Licola - with a couple of short straight sections along the way . It's about 45 mins from Heyfield to Licola .

Bairnsdale definitely has fuel, I'd imagine Maffra would too. If not, as Winnie said Heyfield will have some.

Just checked, Google says Maffra has an Independent & a United. Both on the main street.

Yes fill to the brim in Bairnsdale because diesel is real cheap there!
Maffra has fuel for sure but Heyfield closes at 5pm from memory. I don't reckon you'll need much fuel mate.

Weather looks perfect so far, we are up for fluffy dumps this week and so far the weekend looks good for us weather wise...

Heyfield has the cheapest fuel around - diesel was 1.15 when I fueled the truck tonight & they're open till 8pm every night. Last major town before heading nth to Licola , like Winnie said there's petrol & diesel at Licola ( no gas ) but it's dear
( captive market ) . If you fill up at Heyfield you'll have plenty for the weekend I rekn .

Worst case scenario, if you do need more you can just get some in Licola.

Apparently the Licola shop has a new owner now too.

There would have been a nice blizzard up in the mountains last night!

[MudRunnerTD]

Hey Winnie, can you bring evidence that your club got quoted a cheap price mate, I think no one should pay until the price is locked down, there seems to be a number of different figures.

Note also, last year the room I had had no real heater, I bought a small blow heater with me. Everyone should bring a heater. My room also Had No PowerPoint! I recommend a short extension lead each and a power board if you want to charge your phones and run the heater.

[Winnie]

It was a phone conversation unfortunately.

[rusty_nail]

i think they may have updated their pricing structure since the last time someone visited, the prices are listed on their website and it mentions new prices as of 1 january 2016

http://www.licola.org.au/

it does say there are discounts for group bookings though, would you like me to ring up and ask what qualifies for a group booking?

What time are they looking at getting there? I will be leaving Moe around 4-5pm if they wanna cruise up with someone.
Otherwise it is very easy to find.

[Chappy]

They will be leaving here (Bundoora) about 4/4.30 I believe so they will be a bit behind you. Thanks for the offer though. They should be fine though I imagine

[Sprock]

It's pretty straight forward Chappy - follow the hwy through Rosedale - out over the long bridge then at The top of the hill turn left and follow that road straight to Heyfield , when they come up into the town they will come to a round about & be looking at the timberline service station , veer up the left side of the servo - that's Licola Rd . its about 40-50 mins from the servo to Licola . Just follow the signs to Licola / Jamieson , They'll come over a bridge into Licola & immediately off the bridge turn left into the 'wilderness park' , look for the biggest fire - that'll be us .

Great, thanks for that Sprock. I'll pass it on.

[Sprock]

No dramas mate, the timberline at Heyfield will be the last fuel/shop at the time of night they'll be going through , Licola will be open during normal business hours on the weekend . The rd to Licola is Very windy with sheer drop offs on the side - so tell them to take their time because if they run off the road we'd be lucky to find them in the daylight let alone the dark

[JonnoD]

I am just having a loom at the map and mr google says the best way is through moe then glengarry and glenmaggie. Is this the best way or is it better to go through Rosedale first?

[Winnie]

Easier and quicker to stay on the highway and turn off in Traralgon. You shouldn't be going to Rosedale though.

[JonnoD]

Cheers mate

It was an Awesome cook up by Mark! I'm not into seafood but I smashed out a bowl! Was great! Saw a few chomping into some for lunch again today in dinner rolls. Smelled awesome.

Was an awesome trip. Been home about an hour. Not many pics here but had a great weekend.we got into a good amount of snow for the kids to play yesterday and there are some epic videos of jumping Taboggins somewhere. I think Chappy might have them. We had to clear a huge tree yesterday to get into our lunch spot for playing in the snow and this meant virgin snow fir a bit on the other side of the tree. Was a great day.

Half the crew are there another night tonight.

The 5 houses were great along with the communal kitchen and fire pit which works fantastic for our group. Everyone had a great time.

We have booked the same 5 houses again for next year already. Great trip.

Oh....... There may have been a flat bed Tilt Tray towing a trailer that may or may not have taken 2 cars home on behalf of owners. RACV Total Care! Never leave home without it people.

Hahaha , granted you went up the steeper rockier section of the Mt Margaret track while we took the 'chicken' track - which wasn't for the faint hearted either , but where you came unstuck all 4 of the Patrols went through without a drama , maybe you were playing footsies with your passenger at the time instead of watching where you were going ? 😍

Oh WOW, looks like I missed a great weekend. Licola is a great spot and we should definitely lock it in every year.
I have heard on the wireless there were some casualties especially with the 80's...lol oh well, "Such Is Life"

Any more pics????

MB 'bursts' is when you hold the camera button down & it continually takes photos for as long as you hold the button and then you can go back to that photo press on it and pick out exact one that is perfect,
