Take 2 as we missed out last year due to Covid!

We are booked in to the Licola Wilderness Village from Friday 20th August to Monday 23rd August this year.

It's the only time we have the entire place to ourselves and have booked cabins 1 to 5 right next to the main camp kitchen.

I need to get numbers down please ASAP so I can book it in with them so can you please vote above.

We stay in 2, 3 and 4 bedroom cabins with double beds, bunk beds, etc.

Each cabin has toilets and showers, etc. Some have fridges and a huge dedicated cabin with all the appliances and cutlery to suit hundreds of people, tables and chairs, etc and a huge fire pit for us to enjoy!

Please put your names and number down by voting in the poll to lock you in.

This is a very family orientated trip, kids are more than welcome and usual there are dozens of kids coming, they LOVE IT!

There are playgrounds, trampolines, etc at the facility.

PLEASE PUT YOUR NAMES AND NUMBERS DOWN TO LOCK YOURSELVES IN!

Best Basecamp Ever ....Worth Every Penny[emoji106][emoji106]
After Littlens are saturated from a days snow play up at 1,400m ASL, returning down the hills/roads quickly to circa 250m ASL for hot showers & split system now air conditioned heated rooms is truly Parent Heaven [emoji120][emoji3590]
Our youngest learnt how to ride a push bike without training wheels throughout the park too in the day in between trampoline adventures with the bigger guiding NP.com.au kiddie Legends [emoji736][emoji736]

Agreed, it sounds expensive at first glance but for we what get after a day of mayhem it’s not bad.

Showers, toilets, bedroom and our entire camp kitchen house, cooking facilities, open fire pit, trampolines, playground and lap dances from me after a few shots, that’s a good deal folks!

Just a thought Mat Mate, even if you had to work 1 or 2 days down in town your Mrs & Kids could easily highway tag along behind us Valley crew up to Licola base camp. You can pinch one of our trucks back at home to scoot on up after you’re done at work, only a 3hr highway dash up from the CBD show grounds when you’re finished [emoji106][emoji106]

The mrs isn't super keen on coming as she will have just gone back to work after maternity leave. It will be just me and a small possibility of my 2 oldest boys. Although if I have to work then I could do a quick run out there after the show Sunday for the night for a quick catch up.

Unfortunately I'm in the same boat. I was booked and confirmed last year but the chinese screwed that up!
That weekend overlaps my call-out week.
Ironically that is my coverage area, so if you're at the show I'll come say g'day mate !!

Please add Me x 1

Been planning on heading down to the North East Vic High Country since November, but COVID has stuffed me up twice with Boarder Closures etc . . . this will work in well, as I'll be halfway through My Annual Leave . . . and one would think with such a Group of 4WD'ers, and the Location, I'd get to see some Vic High Country with good company . . . so why not.

Please Add Me and let me know about making bookings etc.

Sounds great Grant.

Just put your name down on the poll at the top of this thread.

You just pay at the kiosk upon arrival, tell them your part of our group and she’ll tell you where to go.

For those who haven’t been, there are single beds there but byo bed sheets, pillows, blankets or sleeping bags.

And we may be in the Ix35.. depending if the boss is in a good mood when I ask.. but that'll handle the roads no problem. AWD with a center diff lock..
We'll see how it pans out.

Just thinking late & aloud[emoji848] [emoji23]
Traditionally we all pull up at the intersection of B2 on the way back down from an awesome Saturday afternoon up at Gorge Carpark Playground with our Littlens to radio check who would prefer to head straight on down to camp for some warmth/drying time whilst some opt to continue on the long way home.With such a large hopeful turnout this year would it be worth properly pre-organising/registering conyoys?

#1 Gorge Carpark Day - Only

#2 B2 onto B1 / Chromite Mine Track / Mt Margaret Track - Only

# 3 Mt Margaret Track / Burgoyne Track

All tracks are a continuation of each other and lead back to Licola Village either way by Tamboritha Road or Heyfield/Jamieson Road they just increase slightly in adventure/truck capabilities 1,2 or 3 if that makes sense?

You wont need a snow sleeping bag mate. The cabins are heated and are quite warm. Simple, but warm. I'd advise on taking a single fitted bed sheet though, as the mattresses are wee proof vinyl covered. None the less you'll have a ball. I'm soooo pumped for this trip!

Hi all,

Sad to say I'm out.

I don't know why or how, but it looks like I screwed up with the Dates . . . I fought the Dates had changed to September, as I've got 19th to 25th September marked in on my calendar which would had worked in with my Annual Leave.

This sucks as I was looking forward to this trip, but August will be a no go for me . . .

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Yep that's another concern for me too, this COVID Delta Strain is playing havoc here in Sydney and in Melbourne, and the Vic boarder is closed to Me right now . . . good chance it might still be closed for the next month.

G`Day folks.
Been hanging off as long as possible, but with the way things are I sadly have to pull the pin on this trip.
Plan was to do Licola then trundle back to Melbourne, hop on the boat to Tassie, spend two to three months down there then back home.
Bit of a bugga, but hey there`s always next year.
Hope it can go ahead for all that can make it.

So at this stage with the current restrictions we will not be able to go but fingers crossed restrictions can lift over the next couple of weeks with our numbers so low at the moment.

Bloody hope we can go folks!


With the current restrictions, we can only have 1 household per cabin, with outdoor gatherings capped at 10.
So it would depend on numbers.
We’re hoping restrictions will ease from next week!

Why the f*** not. Everyone else does and has been during every lockdown.
Everyone needs this for their own mental uptake.

Honestly guys if licola can't go ahead is anyone up for a sneaky camping thing? I'm keen to hire a caravan and just go somewhere easy, then there is no need to worry about vicinity requirements? Should we consider a contingency plan if there are other people interested?

Well at this stage we can't go regional. So a sneaky camp is out. If that changes, why don't we just still go to Licola? We just hire a house each. Atleast we'll have heating. Lol.

Lol.Hey mate, my post is assuming the 5km restriction will lift, just not the visitors to houses. I think we are on target for those circumstances. I didn't think we would be allowed at licola full stop? As I understand it, the communal kitchen will be closed, and I would say licola wouldn't be too happy if we were putting their businesses in jeopardy by stretching the rules there?

Yeah ultimately its up to the owners, if they allow us to use the kitchen, I'd still go. No kitchen? We might aswell find a caravan park. Omeo has a great park. Plenty of space.

If you are really serious about not being forced to be locked down. Be accountable for your own health and safety first and formost and protest it. The more people come to terms with that the quicker they'll stop being forced. If you are happy to have or agree with being forced, then you reap what you sow
