Newbees Gathering

[Barry G]

Many years since I was in the Whroo area, certainly a great spot.
As Yoda says: "There is only do or do not, there is no try."  Put me on the list.

Done & dusted 

[Fivid]

Reckon we will be able to get there on the Friday evening, will be great to meet everyone.

[speewa158]

Good to hear

[tambodaryl]

Put me in,  Daryl.

[poppasmurf]

Sorry we can't make this one as we already have plans for that weekend. Hope you all enjoy yourselves and we will try for the next one.

Cheers

Poppasmuf Thats a pity  ,next time yes 
Tambodaryl done & dusted

Such is life mate. It's really rather annoying. I got home from work this arvo and SWMBO told me she had booked in to the Hume resort for that weekend so I had better organise the time off work, or else!!!!!!! Then I jumped online to see a Swagger gathering for the same date.
We had to use it soon or lose it since it was a gift from our eldest daughter.

Cheers until next time(I hope)

I hear Hume resort is good, never stayed there but only heard good things and with the water level so high you should have a great time.

[poppasmurf]

I hope so Dave, I have lived in this area most of my life and I have never been there.

[speewa158]

poppasmurf I dont know a relaxed weekend in a resort with a bar , air conditioned  hugh comfy bed & someone you love . Or 2 days with us in the bush in our CTs . Can I come with you , no really . You have a cuddle we will have a camp fire  both hot . Next time 

[poppasmurf]

Speewa, Tracey said to thank you for calling her hot, and after only meeting once. She must have made quite an impression.LOL.

[speewa158]

More to the point its your decerning taste in women 

[ralphedward]

  Speewa you've started something here.  Provided the camper arrives on time I'm in.  Just means I've got to buy a few more additions for the campers maiden voyage as SWMBO and the girls have decided that they are up for it as well (there goes my peace).   Looking forward to meeting a few of the people from this site and checking out some set ups (so much for the bank balance). If Mandrake brings the solar gear along, as an ex sparky who will have a camper with no power, it could be hazardous for my finances!!!!!

Regards
Mark

Mark I do belive you have missed the point of money. $ is a fluid thing  that flows ,seeps drips gushes out of a bank account in all sorts of directions . & for no petisular reason. Hang the expence come bush camping cant spend much there .  I will bring my (Mandrake) solor to show as well
You bring a pen & paper to note down all the things that will be really handy to have in your new CT .  Dont be scared you if you work hard might pay it off eventully ,Catch you soon

And bring a camera too cos you always get to see some ingenious idea that someone has had, a way of doing something really nifty that you can never figure out later on...  And doing your own little things to the camper helps fill in time between camping trips!

Will be good to talk to someone about solar that uses and knows their stuff, work out what the next step is for us.

[hutchie62]

Is anyone going to be staying on the sunday night, might see if I can get monday off.

[speewa158]

Swaggers  We have just returned  frow a recky trip to chech the site at Whroo  via Rushworth . Will be posting directions to the Green rd camp site only 7km out of town . Met the Ranger Tim had a chat about how he wants it to happen , Camping on level sites with a common fire place , so each Swagger should collect a goodly amount of wood on the way up . There is no water on site so bring all drinking  & washing with you, But there are DUNNIES for Swaggers & Swagetts .
As usual all rubbish will be returned to your bin at home & we will tread lightly at the site .
They know were coming so its best foot forward then we can come back .
Load the cameras as suggested to rip off ideas , Steve will have solar to play with or just look at mine .  Its all looking good Site , facilities , all we need are Swaggers looking to have a good time
Check Camps 5 site 258               

[Fivid]

Sounds great.  Is it a dog friendly place or would it be preferred if we leave them at home?  We have two 13 week old puppies, trying to get them used to travelling but totally understand if dogs either not allowed or not welcome... 

[GeoffA]

Sounds good Speewa,

We're still on for this, and looking forward to it.

"[i...........]rip off ideas...........[/i]"..........What do you mean???

The solar stuff will be good. It's very high on my list.

At this stage, my wife and I will probably be travelling up Friday, and stay until Monday.
It will depend on work etc.......

Cheers to all,
Geoff

[speewa158]

GeoffA thats my plan to , if the grog holds out 

[speewa158]

Fivid the rules are dogs are permitted in the reserve but on leads at all times . Check www.parkweb.vic.gov.au then Whroo Historic Reserve  & have a poke about . The kiosk is closed & up for sale so disregard that  but its a ripper camp site
