Melb Cup Weekend Mitchells Crossing via Nagambie Vic
The weekend may/will/ could be busy at Mitchels but could be a real cracker . Pack you CT, food , kids , SWOMBO , swimmers ,fishing lines ,mobs of GROG , fire wood & be there . l really have no idea how many will be at the camp site when we get there , but it will be fun . Any body that came last time will remember the fun & games & that was in the middle of winter .
Any newbies that havnt been to a catchup will be most welcome , those that know catchups will be there ofcourse .
No need to reply just be there .
lf you need direction ask or its Camps5 259 Major Creek Reserve . Follow the trail of CTs coming from all directions to be part of it :cup: :cup: :cup: :cup: :cheers:

Day Trip ??? ??? ??? ??? Oh OK :cheers:

Think you can get locked up for taking "day trips". So might get in the DMax and travel up for a day. We will have to leave the kids at home and usually get in trouble for leaving a 9 year old to look after a nearly 1 year old for more than 24 hours.

yep, although thats changing I think. I have noticed more young children wearing leashes, so maybe chokers and zap collars are next?

I thought leashes were a bit hard-core/old fashioned until my son did a runner in the shopping centre. Never leave home without the doggy backpack aka leash now :cup:

Its a pity that kids (including our kids) don't have one of those shut down cord things like on a jet ski so when the take of the cord comes out and they shut down. ;D
Though if it was that easy the cord would never get put back in ;D ;D
Anyways, back to cup weekend, will look at getting there for at least a day.
-
Heading to Beachport for the Robe/Carpenters Rocks gig...
Hope the tides are good :(

Sounds like a plan, assuming caravans are welcome ... ?
Recently upgraded from our Chinese hardfloor to an Expanda ... Luxury!

Went for a quiet drive in the country today. Headed to some land in Mitchellton that we might be intererested in to buy but really didnt like the look of the neighbors. Must have been 20 camper trailers parked on the river. They looked friendly enough but all the same I wasnt keen on stopping ;D

Unfortunately I'm forced to have my public holiday for the bl**dy Geebung Cup (last Wednesday) so no long weekend for me.
By next year Im hoping to have that changed.

YES!!! :cup: do you how long I've been looking for that ;D
I can't believe it stayed there after several full on trips. Must've been wedged in there nicely :cheers:

If we tried to put it back in the same spot it probably would not stay there

BD when are you going to pay the handsome finders fee you promised . We reckon you drive like a GIRL anyway if you couldn't louse a socket in 7 trips . Or you didn't really go at all . An Off Road trip is not parking the Cruser in the lawn to wash it you know ::) :cheers:
