Ditto,

Would love to be there but my fate is in the hands of the Roster Gods Will have to wait and see a bit closer to the date.

I know exactly how you feel. We have a new roster clerk at work and she has rostered me on for 7 consecutive weekends! :shock: :evil:

Just means more time through the week to explore Mt Mee without the crowds 8)

I was up there a month ago http://www.pradopoint.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=4711 and it seems to have handled the rain fairly well.
Plenty of grass around the campsite (the Gums) and plenty of water in the pig pen if you feel like a play

We'll be up there early Thursday morning to start the Driver Course with Chopper and hope to catch up with a few of you good folk over the weekend as well

At this stage, i'm a definite starter for this weekend. I should be arriving late Friday afternoon. If my roster changes then i may only be staying friday night and leaving Sat or may not be there at all.

Storms forecast for Thursday next week :shock: Thankfully we'll be the first there and can scope out the high ground camp sites

Skilful driving... and a Prado of course

That's the hill that stopped me last month with Rogerdodger. It's quite the challenge now I can tell you.

i'll take that! but made a thousand times easier by all the spotters who help place the wheels! one of the best things about heading out with a group of others, plenty of people to help!

Ditto that... I remember commenting to Zo that it was as if someone was standing on the bonnet with a fire hose pointed at the windscreen :shock:

Picked up a friends Ozzie Offroad Camper today to try out this weekend... hopefully it'll keep us dry :mrgreen:
