The stream is small but fresh clear water and some holes to sit in. Refreshingly cold stream.
Damn it, would be good sitting in there now with a blizzardly cold beer waiting for the roast!!!
I will just fill up LPG on the way, drive there on petrol and fill up with petrol there. All good
I have seen the Copper at Woods Point in the Pub at 11pm and then asking you to blow in the bag in the morning at 10am in the main street!! (Very Nervous moment in my life!!) Seemed like a nice bloke when he told me to drive on ;) LMAO
This will be a good trip gents!!!
Buxton has the Gas and Marysville does not... it all comes back to me.... home of the Buxton Burger!!!!!
Just thinking.. if the pub is that good.. and the camp sites are only 5mins away.. what's the chances there wont be any spots?
Pretty high.. lol.
Yeah but there are a few options and if some are heading up from Thursday or early Friday then we should be Ok.

Licola road now closed, it's starting to get out of hand a bit,
hopefully a few days of rain are forecast for next week
Yup it's looking like the whole area is outa bounds, it's getting massive
Let's just wait it out and see what happens?
Not looking good there ATM.....
Not sounding good at all! Fire has doubled in size overnight to 8000 hectares. Licola is now shut off. Also very close to Glenmaggie, but with a wind change forecast for the next hour or two which will blow it back towards Woods Point & make the firefront up to 15kms long. Wind here on top of the hills south of the Latrobe Valley is gusting & getting stronger. A report from someone up on the the Licola Road (Blanket Hill) said it 'was blowing a gale' up there. This is a fire that is going to get a lot bigger yet. I think Woods Point will be out of the question for the meet up. Just hope no lives are lost.
Don't know where you got 8000 from but it's currently at 20,500ha. Lets wait and see what happens yeah? We have a backup plan for this backup plan, I reckon leave it till Monday or Tuesday then make the decision?
Geez! It was 4000 hectares when I went to bed last night, 8000 when I got up at 7am this morning, & now 20,500 just before 8am! Wind is still picking up.
Bloody hell, looking very scary....Lets wait and see what happens with this and good luck to everyone in the area!!!
With any luck the wind shift will blow it back on itself and aid in getting it put out.
Sounds bloody scary.
Be interested to know how it started.....no lightning strikes I'm aware of.....
Last time I was up there in August we came across a couple of hunters leaving there site on Williamson Spur Track....upended all their rubbish on what was an already well going fire and went to leave....the four of us tried to block them in and make them put it out.
In the end they got away and we upended 2 jerry's of water and a shed load of soil to get it out.
My mate reported them to DSE later on....dunno what happened to the dickheads.
Here's hoping it wasn't an unattended campfire.....there has been a bit if that going in of late....
