Aussie VX meet

[VX-157]

It doesn't have to be then, but it would be convenient for me.
If others want to make it some other time, I have about 50 days annual leave accumulated that I am being pushed to take.
So, any time will do.
(Except late August / early Sept 2009 - I am expecting to be a granddad again.)

Are you thinking of bringing your vx across the creek? i am free most of July. if your making the effort to get across the water i am sure i could make a effort to meet closer to melbourne

I am going to pm aussie vx as i don't think he has seen this thread yet

Yep, I would bring the VX across.
Bought it in Sydney and drove it home anyway, so that sort of travel is not a problem.
If we are going to the trouble of a meet, it would be nice to at least go bush a bit.
I am not into taking the impossible track, but do like to use the VX to get into scenic sites.
Not sure about that Victorian weather in July though.

I am all up for the off road bit! perhaps a camping overniter or two? I am sure there are a bucket load of places we could go and tear the country a new one....i mean drive gently around the bush

I am not up to speed on Vic's July weather, but i dare say like most of the southern states it will be brass monkey cold but i come from canberra and thus i am use to cold

perhaps we should start searching for some driving spots etc over the coming week and post what we find?

Hetzer, I have to say that I have no experience 4wdriving in Vic.
All I have done is in Tassie.

I have had a look in an old reference book (Yep - printed version) and the track described by Ron Moon as "Victoria's Outback" looks good.

300km of desert and outback country driving from Ouyen to Lock 7 on the Murray river.
Not sure if that was the type of driving you had in mind??
Probably 2 nights camping on the trail.
Normally my son comes with me, but he is at sea all of July (Marine Engineer).
August would be good, or back to my original suggestion of Feb 2010.

Anyway, very flexible so above is only a suggestion.

Hey folks,

Would be keen to drive to a meet anywhere between here and Brissy. A couple of ideas for nice 4WD (but not too hardcore trips) ...

- Mildura and through to Lake Mungo
- Corryong and down to Gippsland via the roads through the upper Snowy R.

Equally happy to tread some tarmac to some random pub though.

Cheers, Ross

I am thinking for the first meet that we get together and have a beer at a random pub.

It turns out that i am not free in june/july we just bought a house and trying to save a bit of money atm.

I am thinking that OCT/NOV might be doable for me now.....sorry about that

Hey folks,

How about PK comes across and meets me here in Melbourne, then we cruise around the coast to somewhere like Batemans Bay, Narooma or Tathra to meet Hetzer?

Early October before the crowds start to gather at the beach??
