Hi All,

If the organising committee needs space to transport stuff, then speak up now, as I won't be packing until Saturday.

After that it will be too late to arrange pickup of items and pack.

All good Stuart! I've fitted all the big stuff in my trailer & Prado.
Not sure where to put my stuff I'd like to take.
Ahhhh I will just travel light :-)

Hey peeps the rain has started,



Not in Melbourne but always more over gippsland way.
It should get heavier & not predicted to stop until late Saturday.
Should be more than a trickle in those rivers, but not too much.

All rivers are steady and pretty low.
Not holding out much hope of taking the kayak

Hope everyone's enjoying the trip so far. I'm still at work, and monitoring the unfortunate weather forecasts :-/

My parents have been driving around Mansfield, Sheepyard Flat and Craigs Hut regions in their Patrol, but haven't seen any large groups of Prado's.

Glen - weather is ok. Been raining constantly since 4pm yesterday but it's just a constant drizzle. So everything is wet through but bearable. Wet and slippery tracks today. I would post pics but I'm having too much fun....

Very foggy up at Craig's Hut today, same at top of Mt Buller. Can't post any pics sorry, left the laptop at home, no way to get them off the camera. Having a great time with good company.

Hey Glen,

I was speaking to your folks today, at Craig's hut & also at MT buller.
They seems like nice people & good to see them out looking after you still.... Lol..... Just kidding good to see them out enjoying themselves, having a crack.
Mate you wanted challenges & after all the track works rain was our last resort.
See you Saturday!

Good to see you are enjoying it Ian, I think it's just going to get better as this week progresses.

The offroad trailer route could be drivable, but there is a chance if it is still raining in the morning, it could present a challenge.
