Hopefully better than last year.
Lake Lyell, now that brings back memories..............nothing like putting around the lake with a line out the back and an esky full of beer, ah those were the days.
Hey dogman the good old days. I've spent many a day skiing, fishing and drinking on lake Lyell. I originally come from Wallerawang are you from over that way mate?
Waka it's been a few years so might have changed a bit but we used to camp on the river not far from the bottom of the mt walker track pretty awesome camp spot big open area with on giant tree for shade. If you cross the river just upstream from there and head towards the pines of the lidsdale state forest there are some really good tracks to try out around the back of the pine forest. I think the pines have all been cut down recently so the tracks may have changed a bit in 10 years since I've been through there.
Around Hampton is always good for snow.
Thanks mate. I was up there a couple of weeks ago looking around for good future trout fishing spots and camp sites for spring. There's a great maze of tracks and some very nice river crossings too. It was freezing up there a couple of weeks ago and there's no way I'd be camping up there this weekend!Quote:

Dam it. I have to take my 2 out of control Staffies to " Puppy School" on Sunday or I will be in the dog house.
Well its just started to shower here in the lower BM, temp about 14 deg, bit of wind and a nice chill to the air looks like a clear patch is heading this way from further up the mountains :)
Have a safe trip Wakka, hope there is plenty of snow around for you, plenty of pics please :)
C'mon mate where's you sense of adventure lol that's why they invented bundy, to ward off the wickedest of chills.Quote:

Also around Tarana there is some good fishing and a good pub for a few cold ones.
I'm heading over there in December looking forward to checking some of my old haunts.
Yeah mate, lived in Bathurst for about 22 years before seeing the light and moving over here.Quote:

No snow but some great tracks and river crossings. We had a friend of a friend join us in a brand spanking new ford ranger, I was impressed how well it went considering it was stock. The only shortcomings were clearance, approach and departure angles but other than that it drive all but one track and even then we were only concerned he'd rip the front spoiler off. A few mods and decent tyres they'd be a weapon off road.
Kids had fun as usual.
looks nice! id be keen to come next time for sure if your interested?
It's Long way from inside the dome Rusty, you might need to do an overnighter from the shire mate.
It will be a while before we go back there but I'll let you know.
