Hey team, super keen to come along but unfortunately MB and myself's lives have been thrown a huge curve ball this year.

Don't want to discuss it here but its been a rough year.

I'll keep watching and see where I'm at when the time comes.

[jay see]

We are still on for this, got a few goodies to try out before our next big trip.

If you can't make it for the weekend, drop in for the day will be good to see you guys..

Righto. Barring any more drama, I hope to scoot up to this place solo. Maybe a day or two early. Where are the best sites to set up?

[TPC]

I should be there on my own Friday sometime

[pearcey]

Things are looking good for a Friday arrival also.

Bugga Bum Poop.
Things have turned turtle. just received news that a close mate has just passed away unexpectedly.

Will still try and make it if things plan out OK.

Sorry to hear that Pearcy, hope you can still make it.

A bag of fire wood each will ensure that we all stay toasty warm, as there's not much around the area.

With that confirmed rain forecast it'll be pretty miserable. It's actually a weather event now.

Edit: Much better weather in a month and a bit anyway, and on from there.

Hope your awning is big enough for all of us.

[TPC]

I am thinking I will take the caravan as it is not fun in swag when it is wet

Did you go there early?

[mudnut]

Did you go there early?

Nah, Tony . Still with rellies in Bendigo. Have stocked up with food water and a couple of bags of fire wood. Instead of getting to Corop, I spent the day repairing the van brakes and an electrical fault on the Old Trol.

Thanks gents for a nice weekend. Shit weather, but who cares when you're not at home and you're camping.

Have enough in and out of the car and the awning walls are already hanging over the clothes line ready for some rain to wash them.

Take it that the sun was short lived.

It cleared up for a while and we had a clear view of the stars but just started raining again.

[mudnut]

Wow. I really enjoyed that meet up. Great to see you all again and too meet Anna. Thanks for making the journey and enduring those cold windy conditions with me.

As discussed, the next meet up has gotta be the Swan Lake sand driving experience, when the weather lets us.

[mudnut]

I finally found the trouble with my lpg system. I bought a new regulator and hose. We got the salesperson to take off a fitting from the old unit, to check it fits the new one. We found it was coated inside with a black tar substance. I've fitted the new regulator and the fridge and stove work. But I have bought enough copper pipe, fittings, tools and fasteners to completely re do the whole shebang.

[pearcey]

Thanks for top weekend folks,yes it rained ,wind blew,was a tad cold but hey the company was great,as was the bull shit around the camp fire.Well the Try Hard has made it to Pretty Pine ,set up camp, a few beers and one of the best pizza one has ever had made by a very nice pretty German Back packer .Isabella.Might just stay another day.

Thanks for a top week end folks.

[mudnut]

The rain had a major impact on the supposedly called "highway" between Hamilton and Portland. It drove me a little nuts, because the dash cam continually chimed, telling me it was recording the pot hole impacts.

Definitely keen on this one. Keep us posted to some dates.
