Hi all,
We have never been to the park before and I have been asked by the wife to make sure there are proper toilets and hot showers.
Cheers

Bump
Getting close now people - no pulling out!! LOL. Don't forget to invite family and friends - all welcome (all vehicles also).
Hope this weather is indicative of what we are going to get! Perfect for campfire sessions, perfect for daytime driving!!!
Going to be awesome.
So, I CAN bring the Mazda ???? pmlQuote:

I might hold you to that.. How old is daughter ? Mine is 9Quote:

We have a stock Mav - I had planned on staying away from panel damage and maybe watching those with the more dedicated rigs giving them a work out on the hardest tracks. It has the right kind of recovery points front and rear and appropriate recovery gear.
I wouldnt drive someones else's rig anyway..
And she'd be the pro.. Ive only done a bit of playing on river crossings and mud..
No guitar....But he can panel beat any damage you may get on the day ! pml
Well, sounds like a plan then - subject of course to lovely wife's seal of approval which I shall enquire after tomorrow (she having wisely gone to bed).Quote:

We have a spare 10x8 tent (that didn't sell for a very low price in a garage sale!!) that I can throw on the roof rack if that would help. Last time we used it it was waterproof in heavy rain. And a folding chair or two.
Well, thank you. If it does come together, we'd maybe only make it a day trip.. and dont tell anyone but My first choice is always a blue oval..Quote:

Kat - a bit far for a day trip - you should go for overnighter of you can ... be plenty of space/tents etc available ...

Lovely wife is OK with a girl's day out.
There will be a loud noise from the rear of our Mav, so you might want to bring hearing protection. It comes from our 6 year old - esp if she has another girl to chat with :-)
I know that one Silver... Never stops !!Quote:

Im still pretty keen Scotty, although the mrs is exspressing a little concern about the night time temps up there, and the lack of heating inside the tent.
Im working on solutions !
Tents are warm mate! Honest! LOLQuote:

I'm going to try to 'secure' Terrace for the camp site - they sort of blocked it out for us last time (put it up on the notice board as you enter which puts others off going to a heavily populated spot) so hopefully with the numbers we have going they'll do the same.
Look forward to seeing you there!!
Well, this is shaping up to be a boomer ... list of probables and comfirmed below:
BigRig [two cars]
Dhuck
Nickpeacock36
Mal H
Mate of Mal H
Ryan
Derek
Ben-e-boy
Another mate of Ben-e-boy's
Silver
Silvers neighbor
04OFF
Cadbury
Yendor
Gordy
Redman [possible]
Have I forgotten anyone??
Kat might be making an appearance also to stop in and say g'day ...
About 16 vehicles and depending on everyone showing up, about 50+ people throughout the weekend ... WOW ...
Can't wait ...
who else can we convince to come?? hmmm ...
So scotty, we need to confirm a place (and time) to meet up on the highway, so anyone who would like to cruise up in convoy can all find each other ?
Also, below is a link to the map, to remind people where the "Terrace" camp site is...... (black square,top centre of map)

BTW, to everyone coming along, i will have some of my camera crap on board for this trip, so if you wan't some pics of your car (or yourself etc), do come find me and let me know, i dont often like to take "happy snaps", so you should be prepared to go to whatever effort is required to get a decent pic, (this can take time) plus even experiment on something different (oh, may also inc in driving me to location after ive had many beers, lol :trink13:) any cool suggestions/ideas for shoots of "anything" will be most welcome also. :tongue:
Good on ya Steve!! Greatly appreciated!! I'm sure I, if not others will take you up on that offer - we just need to find a scenic "very steep, extreme" track for it though!!! lolQuote:
