Good work roofy. Have fun at Wonnongatta. . .
Is it 27th yet? I'm itching to go. I ordered a rooftop (and hema) map last week. They arrived today. Opened it and laughed at one spot somewhere near where you said the camp is there were 3 small arrows to different parts all leading back to the word "steep". Noticed quite a few of these with a bit more of a look.
I am so keen. :)
Yep me too! Can't waitQuote:

I think if you are planning a bigger trip for May you should post it up?
Can't be certain yet and want to wait til this trip is done so we have an idea of the tracks conditions.Quote:

Yeah Rossco I'm very jealous to be honest!!!!
Have a ball gents!
Don't worry we will be doing quite a bit serious research and reconnaissance work. Will probably be quite taxing and tedious . . . . You won't be missing out on much.
Yes hard work indeed... Someone's gotta do it!Quote:

I'm nearly out of wood, but have a small bit left, I'll bring that. A couple of good pieces of redgum I think that should burn for a little while.
How much driving in terms of kms are we likely to do from the base camp over the two days? The Jack is really thirsty, so I'm wondering if I will need a jerry or two of petrol or not? Crawling around some tough steep stuff I might end up using 25+ l/100km.
Funny I have been doing these renovations and work killed me today and my back is stuffed.. I did sn hour of ice and heat and it seems to have done the trick but my bloody sciatic nerve still killing me. .. so the thought of chainsawing just does not appeal to me at all.Quote:

Starting to get excited as it has been a whole year since being in the high country. ..... woot woot
And me....Quote:

All part of the cycle. Next there will be babies and milestone birthdays.Quote:

I miss this so much... been shooting a lot lately and it has been a great distraction but I truly love 4wding in the high country so much more.
Probly do round 100 + K in a day ish. Doesn't sound like much but pretty much every track up there is steep. Low range will certainly get a work out that's for sure. Good idea to grab a jerry even if you just leave it at camp.Quote:
