| Details: | UPDATE UPDATE* - We have reconnoitred a loose path with a few twists and turns and a couple of hills. Nothing to fret about. This trip rates a lowly 4.5 on Paddy's Scatchometer (R) Late start so the drivers can get themselves psyched-up. The plan is to start with a short forest drive of about 90 minutes with the girls at the helm. + There will be a challenge for the girls to overcome. There will be a track obstruction that must be moved. The girls will need to work together to solve this. Time allowed will be 15 minutes. No muscle should be required. Track Marshals will supervise (and keep track of demerit points ;-) HINT: http://www.4wdaction.com.au/tipswinch.php - There will be no prize for successful completion; just bragging rights. After the drive the walkers (ladies) amongst the group will be dropped-off, for a relatively easy, 90 minute, forest walk (6km) adeptly led up the garden path, by Doris. Meanwhile, Paddy and the boys will relocate to the destination by vehicle (what's left of it anyway ;-) where the arduous BBQ preparations will be undertaken = have a cold drink, entertain/mind the kids, talk 4x4 stuff, press green button on BBQ. BBQ about 3:30pm onwards. Plenty of shade, grassed areas, toilets etc. $11 National Park entry fee for vehicles without annual pass. Sorry, no pets. One more thing; if there is a licensed female driver in the vehicle, then they are the driver for the forest drive. NB. The drive won't be scary... and yes ladies, we will be keeping score ;-) All welcome; even if the driver sports an X chromosome - somebody's gotta slice the onions anyway. Lads - it's the girls day off, so please take care of the catering. | |

| Details: | The Exploreoz 2010 National Gathering is being held in Western Australia and advise the venue will be the Gunbarrel Laager Travelers Rest (just outside of Wiluna township). Wiluna is adequately serviced to enable a full restock of supplies from the Gunbarrel Groceries store/servo and the Gunbarrel Laager is a suitable quiet spot to rest and recouperate. This Gathering has the interest and support of the Wiluna Shire Council who are keen to organise a number of local activities for us such as traditional damper making by Aboriginal people from the town and a display of their art from the Tjukurba Gallery, both to be held out at the Laager. The gathering coincides with the peak travel season either within/or week before most states July school holidays. We may not have official activities through the full 5 days but this is the week in which we aim to hold the gathering - the official activities will probably be held on 3 days and the days either side give leeway for people arriving/departing so with a more casual theme. Day trips and activities around the town will be organised. Some other ideas for activities/games during the gathering are: * The EO Amazing Race - vehicle based Wiluna version with questions, clues, roadblocks, and riddles to solve in and around the Wiluna shire region; and * A special takehome gift/activity for every participant (1 per vehicle) curtesy of ExplorOz (this is a secret project so sorry no more clues). | |

| Details: | With such a short leed time of two weks, this trip is to re-cover some roads I travelled back in 1986.... Also in the area is the Ozplore Oz meeting so it could be quite busy but it is a big backyard to play in. The trip will travel to wiluna then out to warburton via Carnegie. From there you have the choice of crashing onto the Rock or cruising home as I will be via some of the old mining roads and towns. This is a reasonably kid friendly trip with a few long hauls just to get places.There should be plenty of good 4x4ing and great night camps. | |

| Details: | Well this trip starts and stops at Coulandra, Queensland now. What was supposed to be an Across The Top tour of Aus has simply turned into a "look at our new Quantum van" before it gets trucked home. But in its place we get to live in the USA, Florida due to a 6 month work transfer. Australia will always be here, the opportunity to go to the USA for 6 months will not, so it was an easy choice really. Lookout for a Top End tour in 12 months time :) | |

| Details: | Change of venue for the trip as it may have been too far for some too attend. Suggest a weekend at Ninghan Station, 54 Klms south of Paynes Find is a working sheep station situated approximately 360 kilometres from Perth on the Great Northern Highway. Ninghan Station covers an area of 206,787 hectares. The homestead is set in an oasis of green lawns and shady trees nestled at the base of Mount Singleton. Ninghan Station has abundant bird life (100 species identified) and animals such as kangaroos, emus, goats and goannas. There are many granite outcrops scattered throughout the property which make for great exploring. During spring the rocks are host to many varieties of wild orchids. From mid July to the end of September the property transforms into a half a million acres of wildflowers of various colors. Ninghan is a paradise for bushwalkers and climbers. Mt Singleton towers above the surrounding countryside. A careful driver can navigate the rough winding track to the summit in a four wheel drive vehicle. The mountain is 2,300 feet above sea level with breathtaking views of the surrounding country side including Lake Moore. With numerous gorges to explore and magnificent cliffs on the southern side of the mountain. Campsite Reception | |

| Details: | Stars Paddy as Cary Grant & Doris as Eva Marie Saint. If you’ve ever had to follow Paddy, then you know this could have as many twists and turns as the Hitchcock classic. Nothing planned in the way of day trips – just gonna wing-it. Taking a “Paddy Shortcut” to revisit a particular place, so the route will be wayward and the results unexpected; as you would expect. 2700km round trip plus day trips. Apart from 4 nights in Cape Range NP we will be on the move every day. Campsites include Coalseam, Bilung Pool, Khyber Pass, Yardie Creek (or thereabouts), New Beach and Ellandale Pool. NP day use fees and camping fees may apply. 4 vehicles maximum. Camper trailers and off-road vans OK. About 700km on gravel/dirt. Minimum fuel endurance required northbound is 350km when towing (southbound no problem). Longest travel day is 480km. About 1000km northbound without access to Autogas (LPG). Itinerary is flexible and subject to flooding. | |

You are most welcome to join us on Friday as this is when will be going down or on Saturday at the departure time. I will most probably be running at least one night nav, for those that have been on a McGyver night navigation can testify it is never boring.(Smile). At this time of the year there is a possibility there will be still heaps of mud so please come prepared with all your mud tyre (if you have a set), all your recovery gear as it can get very slippery out there. | |

It’s also been put up so I can place some photos and a trips report about it and where we went post trip for members to take advantage of at a later date – if they choose to head out there and check some of the better stations worth restoring. I’m only going on the first trip, there are a few more planned – another more extended trip in November and then next year to the Goldfields. Sort of looking forward to this one, should be very interesting. If you are keen on something like this, let me know and I'll have Jeff Hemsley get in tuch with you. | |

| Details: | ***Update*** Have moved the meeting place 20 minutes up the road (and pushed the time back 15 minutes to compensate). This way we can all allow the appropriate time to select our gastronomic delights if being evil. You're gonna have to ask the boss for Friday off, but it'll be worth it. Meet at the new and improved Bindoon Bakehouse and then fuel stop at Carnamah. A campfire at Koolanooka Springs on the Friday night then experience the wonder of Kadji Kadji in bloom on a Saturday 4WD run. An easy trek with a chance to pick over some historical relics and enjoy what is (normally) a wildflower wonderland. Friday night campfire and Saturday tour with a leisurely drive home Sunday (although we can make it a little more interesting if you are game with your trailers/vans in tow?) Camper trailers and off-road caravans OK for this trip. Quiet, friendly dogs OK, but there is the usual bait risk! Expect the unexpected - pretty much goes without saying. | |

Bring plenty of water as well as your lunch cause if you oldies can't keep up with us kids we'll have to stop along the way.:) We will be riding the loop around the river from the Causeway to the Narrows Bridge(Approx 10kms).
