g'day, don't think we will be making it, but if so will make own arrangements - is there a way of identifying the crowd at the campground?

(He helps with the fixing/making of the tracks)
Thanks mate - I was up there a couple of weeks back and the place copped some damage. That said, they are eating through it, and with over 200klms of tracks, we should be right ... we did some green tracks (got through) that should definitely have been labelled red, but I could imagine before the rain washed them out, they would have been dead easy ... should make for interesting times!!!Quote:

well i'm aiming to get there about 8.30-9.00am on saturday so you may be able to sort out some cover close to the camp and if needed you can use this for a safe and quick escape
Cool we will need plenty of cover rain or shine
Having one right now mate!! LOL - the only thing that's going to fix me up!!Quote:

Dhuck - we need to sort the esky situation ... the missus is doing silly stuff like organising food to go in there ... I'm rapidly losing space for the grog!!!! LOL ... the way I figured it is as follows:
1. Away for approximately 76 hours door to door ...
2. 3 hours there and 3 hours back - 70 hours remaining
3. no drinking 12 hours prior to departure - 58 hours remaining
4. allow 6 hours per night for sleeping - 3 nights equals 18 hours - 40 hours remaining
5. working on an average consumption rate of 3 cans per hour x 2 people equals 240 cans (8 x 30 packs)
6. do you see our dilemma?? LOL
I suppose I could take a few hours off for breakfast each day, and another few each day whilst we are 4wd'ing to reduce the number ... but let me state clearly ... I am sick of all the sacrifices I am making for this trip!!!! LMFAO!!!
I should know better than to suggest things like this!!!Quote:

You could also stop Drinking whilst Eating and having a Wash (Or is that talking dirty). With a bit more effort on your part you should be able to fit your can requirements within a 6 Pack Esky LOFLMAOQuote:

I've decided that this being married stuff means compromise at times, so I have decided that things like froot (did I spell that correctly?? LOL) and those green things that are usually beside the meat in a McDonalds burger are to be allowed into the eskies at the expense of "some" space for beers ... LOL!!!Quote:

LOL!!!
Yes mate there is a bit of a problem here. My compromise is 2 30 packs for the weekend. That is making it bloody tight but I will try. I only have 1 dog house and the dog still uses it.
