The day trip bit is just for people not camping or taking 2 cars I think, so is it Fri and Sat nights to camp?

What's the roll call so far, I should be up for it?

Looks good and fancied getting over there. We could be very interested and will firm up nearer the time.

Would like to try some "easy" off road tracks.

I did notice that they have the Carnage Canyon on that weekend.

Family of 4. Kids are 2 1/2 and eldest will almost be 5 in October

pproehann

Now does that count as a special event I wonder.

james1972

Who knows but I would imagine they could do better rates for a group booking

pproehann

Think when we enquired before it was a standard rate unless it was a mega 4x4 booking but was worth of thinking of.

pproehann

So is this still the venue of choice or does anyone have any other preferences? And any advance on who's going?

If people wanted closer to a town an option from the past is

http://www.ircamping.com.au/index.ph...d=48&Itemid=51only 600 metre walk to town and a pub... http://www.caravanningnews.com/imbil.htm It is near Gympie but I'm sure they'll have a ferral proof fence up...

Or we can stick with the original plan or anyone can suggest an alternative.

bobbyftm

As far as i know the venue has not changed but Andy did mention it's a couple of hours away ( maybe he was worrying they'd not get there before dark by the time they'd finished work )

pproehann

I may not be able to get away early on Friday so may have to arrive later, was still in the middle of a major edit of my post when you posted see my one below for a suggestion...

It' also the 3rd Sunday of the month if any of the ones with kids wanted to partake in... http://www.150mustdos.com.au/must_do...valley_rattler and said pub 600 metres walk from campsite...http://www.gdaypubs.com.au/_hotel_ra...ueensland.html

We'll be setting off on about lunch time, so we should be fine. The Mary valley one looks good, maybe wait for a long weekend to do 4x4 thing?

Really not arsed either way.

pproehann

Other guy said there was a 4x4 thing on at Cruiser so may be busy. The pub is rustic but OK at Imbil and lot closer to civilisation for a few jaunts out and a cup of coffee etc..

What says the majority?

pproehann

Andy (LAM) has a friend with child coming as well probably so is everyone happy with venue change and we can get title changed to see if anyone else interested???
