Thanks for the heads up Kit_e we were hoping to have a less crowded camp spot...  On our last visit the creek looked really nice done that way, but it has been really dry and we have had bugger all rain since Xmas. Might have to see how many Dave has booked in that weekend and see if we can get a spot in the fenced campground..

There is a VERY nice swimming hole about a 20 min walk up stream.  Pics on the blog is your interested in the fairly easy walk and short rock hop.  Or even better still ... here is the link to the comp I've entered the pic in ... please vote while you are there as I have a LONG way to go to beat the current leader.

yup it's looking more like Newnes at this stage............... we plan on one of those little over the river spots that can only take a couple of campers at a time rather than the main camp ground - but we will have to either tow the 2wd Rodeo over that will be with us or leave it over @ the pub and ferry all their stuffacross with the Colorado

but I'm sure we'll drop in for a coldy

Sounds good mate we will either be in main camp area or site just before it on left.

Well,,,,
Looking at the extended forecast, Hopefully I'll be sitting on the verandah for 2 days watching the money fall out of the sky.
Dry as a nuns n****.

Boating? Ha. HaHa. Bwhaaaa.
Look at the forecast.
Somehow I think the council will be wasting money on the boom gate into Wello point.
Not enough takers.

How busy would somewhere like ulupna island (murray near echuca / cobram ) be over Australia Day weekend?  We are undecided. Not big on crowds. But suspect we won't have a choice on that matter :))

Heading to Wellington for a Yard dog trial in the beer garden of the pub. Should be interesting if the sheep jump out of the yard there straight in the river. :cup:

Probably packed unless you can get there Thurs or early Fri, we dont go to Ulupna but camp near Cobram and always struggle for a spot on Aus day weekend.  If its not a big drive for you then can only try.  :)

Going by the forecast, you may not need to do that walk to get to the swimming hole.

The swimming hole will be coming to you...

This thread is off to a "flying" start..
For me it will be. Arriving in Melbourne at silly oclock then wait for a Jetstar flight to Tassie. Will be nice not to have to wear a jumper though... will be able to do some :4x4:

Yep looks like we will have some much needed rain this weekend, just watched the cyclone chaser youtube clip that Kit_e posted - some very interesting scenarios to keep an eye on.

I bet a lot are rethinking this week-end by now.

I've had to take boating off the menu for the long week-end.

I think this kind of weather is THE BEST time to go camping as 75% of people have given it a miss completely and those campgrounds will be looking a bit bare   :cup:

However, I'll still be at home gardening and drinking (as mentioned before) as this is not our usual weekend. 

Bring on that rain I say!!
