Thanks #### after I posted this question I went to the website and read that there is the different options on the 9th. Guess I should have gone there first.
We were thinking of bringing a trailer but have decided it will be easier to just tent it. So for the overnighter in the bush will there be plenty of room to set up a tent?
We are getting very excited now, trying to organise the last few toys for the prado over the next few weeks.

Cheers Matt

I have not travelled the "non trailer route" yet, 3 other committee members or so have.
I should know the answer to that in 2 weeks as u can see I organised another reccie for that route.
I assume there would be ample space as this is what is required if we might have 20+ car loads going that way.
Will come back if you don't get an answer from someone else.

With only 7 weeks to go till the start of the GTG I am wondering if there are going to be shirts for the event and if so when do you want to know our sizes so they can be ordered?

There certainly will be, we'll have something to show you shortly!

With only 7 weeks to go till the start of the GTG ...

What did you just say? Oh no you didn't! Did you? Wash your mouth out... WTF?? 7 weeks?

Erm, I guess I better get a move on! What, with the current 120 up for sale and my eye on a 150, I'll have a lot of things to do before I go (assuming, that is, that how I've planned things at work doesn't get interrupted by some CEO in another state who decides he wants things done a different way, thereby precluding my attendance!).

Just making sure you didn't run out of time that was all. Looking forward to seeing what is being offered.

Now that south basalt knob track is graded (apparently), where am I going to go for half a challenge?

Good point, haven't figured that one out yet. Not much will be halfa challenge for your set up & experience
Will have to try & find something, we have been looking, but they have been grading their butts off.

I may have missed this, but do we need to do anything re mansfield holiday park, or has the commitee booked it all? What's the cost on arrival for these two nights, and what's the cost for the camp at Talbotville?

[glen_ep Addicted PP Member Find all posts View Profile Close glen_ep]

What we need is some wet weather followed hoards of Hilux drivers. That'll roughen up any track.

Nearly out of time, but to make something this good takes time, trust me from what I've seen these shirts are worth the wait.
We will be taking orders this week. Well done to Josh & Kathy with the shirts!

Going up again in 2 weeks, working on this for you, no luck yet, but if it rains, you will have halfa!

Hi All,

Given that the Mansfield Caravan Park has been paid for (I assume) (2 nights for those with Trailers), what extra Costs are there?

Just want a guide, that's all.

Thank you.
