2011 Cape York Members Trip

[McGirr]

I am new to this site (have been on PradoPoint for awhile) but so far have had a great read.  We were actually looking at visiting the Cape either 2011 or 2012 after purchasing our CT last year.  Is this something that you do each year or every few years.  Can you put us on the list as we are keen to see the tip of Australia.  What are the minimum requirements vehicle wise as we have just picked up a new 150 series Prado.

Your not related to the Thunderbirds

I have added your name to the list. There is a minimum requirement section

The quickest way to upgrade the Prado up to scratch, would be to trade it in on a Nissan.

[Breidi Mac]

hopefully if there is room and we have our new 4wd we can go.  So if there is space, put us down as a maybe.

I just plotted the intineray looks unreal can't wait.

Thanks McGirr,

Will be trying to get some cash put away for some upgrades to the Prado. Hopefully tax time will be worthwhile.

Gee Wizz. How many are on the trip now Mark. May need to take a grader to keep us all moving 

[scoot]

Put me and a 6yo down too, if you could ...  assuming December is the final decision time. Have to make sure I can swing something at work. Thanks.

Gee with all the reports from people heading to the Cape this year we are may have to close it just for ourselves for a couple of weeks.

What we will need is a few road closed signs and detour signs. That will fix things.

As new members of my swag i would love to join your trip to the tip as we where planing be there on our trip around oz around june/july.
Thats if we get a spot/invite

[BigJules]

Despite 300 people putting their hands up I know from personal experience that many will not be able to make it, so there should be enough spots for those who are still able to make it.

[jthgodfrey]

we will be a definite if we get a birth as like i said we had planed to get to the tip on our trip around June July anyway and what a destination to to head to on your first my swag trip/gathering

[Blinky Bill]

If there's room please put us down as a 'more than likely'. 2 adults. 

By December, when you finalise the list, the Missus will have made up my mind for us. 

I'm still unsure what to do about the mutt. Any suggestions? Are dogs okay or are they a nuisance for example access to National Parks etc. Perhaps a kennel at Cooktown is the way to go? 

Suggestions welcome. Please no croc jokes. 

Regards - BB

[McGirr]

There is a place in Kuranda that looks after dogs. Highly recommended.

Hi Mark, put down as a possible.
I've got a 07 bt50 dual cab with a rear diff lock, factory bullbar. What else would you recommend for my vehicle.

We are also keen on the trip but I didn't put us down as I saw there was already quite a few numbers. We are more seriously planning to do the cape in June/July now so I thought I would put our names in. There will be 2 adults and 4 kids.

thanks
