| Details: | Of late the Wilbinga area is getting a hammering from the 4x4 community and as such there is a marked increase in the litter in the area. To assist in keeping this area open to the public (us) the guys at the Wilbinga Shacks are trying to clean the area up. I think as we regularly use this area we should try to lend a hand. We will meet up with the guys and cart as much of the rubbish out as we can. If anyone has small trailers they can bring or use that would be great. For those who are keen to stay on we will probably be having a BBQ #### supplied by the club #### with the guys at the shacks and camp Saturday night, if you want. For those that can’t meet start or finish times don’t hesitate to come along for what you can. Late comers let me know before hand and I’ll give you my number and details to find us. Sorry about short notice. | |

Off road campers or tents only please. UPDATE: Friday night's camp will be Mt Palmer, Saturday nights camp will hopefully be @ Mt Holland & Sunday night's camp will be @ Jilakin Rock. Depending on conditions, we'll split the convoy into two groups. If wet Group 1 (4x4's with tents) will follow Smokey to the Vultee wreck then on to Mt Holland, then along the Holland track towards Jilakin Sunday afternoon. Group two headed by Fish will follow group 1 (campers will be left @ Mt Palmer) to the Vultee wreck Saturday morning, then along the way decide if conditions are acceptable to continue to Mt Holland with campers, in which case Group 2 will return to Mt Palmer to pick up left behind camper vans while group 1 will try to play around Skelleton rock. Both groups will then reunite @ Mt Holland. Should conditions not allow that, Group two will head back to Mt Palmer Saturday night, then make their way to Hayden Sunday morning & re-unite with Group 1 along the way or @ Jilakin Rock Sunday afternoon. Now that's the plan:-) please be prepared for some adjustments! Bring your camp ovens & roasts and some firewood for Jilakin if you have space. Please note that Chris & Zoe will head north on the Holland Track towards Coolgardie Sunday morning for an extended trip until end of the week, please let them know if you wish to join them. | |

| Details: | First time to this area but I've been told by friends from an other club that its excellent. The location is a property off Dewers Pool road of about 650 Acres. The area is hilly and there is a veriaty of challenges from easy right up to hard. So its up to you how hard you play. Obviously if you go hard there is a chance of panel damage.In the past 4x4 comps have been ran on this property. The owner will lead trips around the property, including night navs, if required so we get the most out of the area. The plan is to camp over the weekend on the property but you could come up for the day if you want. There is a cost $40 for the weekend per vehicle or $30 if you come up for the day. West Coast will be the only group there but we need a minimum of 10 vehicles. The location of Peter Rileys farm is about 4km west of the junction between Dewars Pool Road and Bindi Bindi - Toodyay Road on Dewars Pool Rd. Grid Ref - 31 26 50 South 116 23 47 East The farm house is right on the road (north side) and has a stone wall around it. Drive in past the house and follow the track around and between a couple of farm sheds. You’ll see the camp at the bottom of the paddock in front of the further most farm shed. I'm planning on travelling up friday evening, if anyone wants to meet up let me know and Ill arrange a meeting point. SORRY NO DOGS | |

| Details: | Have decided to go for a Goldfields wandering. Plan is to bush camp east of Southern Cross (probably Mt Palmer) and have a base camp there for a few day and try and scout some historical sites. Then drift back home over the next few days, probably via Hyden. No set plans, just want to get away and be in the bush. You will need to be self suffcient for several days for bush camping, no power or water available. NOTE: had to change dates, now leaving on Saturday of the middle weekend of the school holidays. | |
