Hey Paul,

Looks like you might all have to "break down" at Mackay and drink all dads tractor's beers

Might have to upsize the beer fridge by the sound of that comment

G'evening mate,

Would love to catch up with fellow Patrolian's on our travels! Will contact you next year mate!

All the best for 2013!

Regards,

Paul (RLI)

Any of the remaining (Possibles) who fail to notify us by the January deadline. Are still welcome to come along. However, they will have to organise there own campsite bookings.

Trendsetters, may i suggest could all the DEFINITES PM your contact phone numbers and your state and areas from where you come from to Jas, That way Jas could put a contact list together and then PM them back to the DEFINITES.

This will allow you to contact one another and formally introduce yourselves to one another! It also allows you to see who is the closet fellow Cape York participant closest to you. This might also allow you to meet up and travel from home to Cairns together!

Well Trendsetters, looks like we have got our self's a "NISSAN" convoy, Ye-haa baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8 months and counting!

PS, WISHING YOU ALL A SAFE AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Regards,

RLI

Folks, i received this PM from NathanJG stating the following;

“HI RLI

We have been trying to organise a trip for Sept in 2013. Unfortunately our numbers have dropped and I am currently looking at other options. At the moment we have 3, possibly 4 of us. Our Nav, a ranger and possiblt two cruiser utes. All but one of the cruiser utes have very limited 4wd experence. Just wondering if you would be happy to have us tag along with you guys or not??

Regards

Nathan”

As previously stated, this trip is your trip, and for that reason i will ask you all for input into your once in a life-time special trip. We have had a run of people coming forward requesting to be part of this trip before today's final cut-off point. A classic is Nathan JG's PM above.

For this reason our numbers have grown to 22 Vehicles. Because of the large numbers, i have decided to ask you all if you are interested into that we divide the numbers into 2 touring groups. ie 2 groups. We will know by the 31st January 2013 exactly what the group numbers will be!

We will stagger the start times of the groups by 1 day or 24 hours apart. example, group one will leave Port Douglas on the 3rd of August, Group 2 on the 4th August.

The reason for this is twofold, firstly, when we hit the developmental road, we will be travelling at intervals of between 100 to 200 meters apart from vehicle to vehicle, so that we are not all travelling in one another's dust. Secondly, should we decide to do the Telegraph track, it is easier for 9 to 11 vehicles traveling and camping-up on the track than 22. It will be impossible to get 22 vehicles parked at Fruit-bat falls.

However, both groups will finally meet up at Punsand bay resort and we can get a group photo at the Tip together!

To make this far, i have decided that the following folks will make up the 2 groups;

Group 1

1. Paul (RLI) & family DEFINITE!
2. Bryan (04silverSTR) DEFINITE!
3. Bryce DEFINITE!
4. Gunning1987: DEFINITE!
5. Sparra (sparra04) DEFINITE!
6. Case84 DEFINITE!
7. lorrieandjas DEFINITE!
8. nissannewby (200 killer wasps) DEFINITE!
9. GU Camper (DEFINITE!)
10. Scott (scottybobcat) (DEFINITE!)

Group 2

1. Joshman (DEFINITE!)
2. Tony-mate of Joshman's (Possible)
3. Luke (luke91) DEFINITE!
4. Luke 91 mate (Possible)
5. Nathan JG (Possible)
6. Nathan JG mate (Possible)
7. Nathan JG mate (Possible)
8. Nathan JG mate (Possible)
9. Apollofish (Possible)
10. Jason D40 (Possible)
11. Nathan (lunn86) (Possible)
12. Zanick (Possible)

The (Possibles) and on our tour list have until the 31st January 2013 to advise if they will be (DEFINITES!) so i can organise booking the various camp sites. Any of the remaining (Possibles) who fail to notify us by the January deadline. Are still welcome to come along. However, they will have to organise there own campsite bookings.

Trendsetters, PLEASE PM your contact phone numbers and your state and areas from where you come from to Jas, That way Jas could put a contact list together and then PM them back to the DEFINITES. Folks, if you fail to help Jas you fail me! I want team players on this trip!

This will allow you to contact one another and formally introduce yourselves to one another! It also allows you to see who is the closet fellow Cape York participant closest to you. This might also allow you to meet up and travel from home to Cairns together!

PS, 7 months and counting!

WISHING YOU ALL A SAFE AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Damn mate, it's sounding more like an invasion every day. Should be an absolute ball tearer of a trip!

[GU CAMPER]

I think splitting into groups is a great idea and needs to be done with so many cars

Happy New Year to everyone

[PMC]

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would mention there is a little confusion in your post about the cut off date, you say that it is 31st January 2013,

But you have now cut off 31st December 2012(give or take)

Just thought I would mention it

G'day Mark,

There was two dates and two lists of members! The first date was the official cut-off for over all participants to be part of the August 2013 trip and this was the 31st December 2012. The first list was all those members that confirmed they were (DEFINITE!)

The second date the 31st January 2013 was for all those members whom are on the second list (possible) They have until the 31st January 2013 to advise if they will be (DEFINITES!) so i can organise booking for the various camp sites. Any of the remaining (Possibles) who fail to notify us by the January deadline. Are still welcome to come along. However, they will have to organise there own campsite bookings.

Regards,

Paul (RLI)
