Victorian meet up Jan 25th-28th 2013 Walhalla

[AB]

Seriously though, what about a beach run??? I'm not fussed where we go but I've never been beach driving...

There are minimal places in Victoria where you can drive on the beaches unfortunately mate. In fact, hardly anywhere these days...

Depending on how bad the fire is what other options/camp spots are down there.....Coopers Creek, any others???

[Winnie]

Yeah there's coopers ck, Walhalla but I don't know of any spots we could all camp

[Bloodyaussie]

Only beach is near S.A and you need permits through the 4wd club that manages it??

I dont know enough good spots to make suggestions ??

[Bob]

are there any places along the Thomson River where we can camp ???

Are you there Roofy ??

[AB]

We might have to get back to this thread tomorrow in regards to a back up plan depending on what happens with the fire today, how much it destroys, etc.

Umm....Doesnt look too good actually.....Its been classified as a medium fire, 7 vehicles are there now and it says the size is 80HA.....

Robe is S.A is the only place closest. Nowhere in Vic apart from the dunes at Portland but you must get a temp membership with the Portland dune buggy club by memory. Don't know of any down Gippsland way. 90mile beach would be good but i think its out of bounds for 4 wheelers.
