I am coming to the hunt

Sent my details via PM to jindydiver June 18. Did they arrive?

Mick Smith · #92 Post by **Mick Smith** » Wed Jul 06, 2005 4:53 pm

G'day everyone

I'm in the process of sending out basic information packs to all members who may wish to attend our High Country hunt. The info pack will only contain enough information to allow you to find our camping site. I will have copies of topographical maps available at the hunt, or alternatively you could have a much more detailed information CD either emailed or posted to you. All you have to do is ask.

I can only send a maximum of 2 PMs at a time before my PM system gets overloaded, because the maps use up lots of memory. Please be patient, you're sure to be on my list of recipicents.

The hunt date is getting closer and closer.

Mick

Thanks Mick. looking forward to it! I've updated the quota for pm's to 2 meg, from 1/4 meg, as the default seemed a little stingy, especially in light of your problem. Let me know if this is okay,

Erron

As far as I can tell, there's a fair few Ozbow members coming. I've had assurances from approximately 12 people so far, not including Jindydiver (Mick) and myself. It's definately a goer. In fact its going to be an absolutely fantastic few days. Guaranteed!

As far as dates for everyone turning up is concerned. It doesn't really matter. I will probably turn up late on the Friday before, and head off home late Monday afternoon. You could turn up and go home whenever you liked. Everyone who is coming will probably be there for at least the Saturday and the Sunday, I would imagine.

This hunt is going to be something you don't want to miss. We will be talking about it for months afterwards, I'm sure. Its bound to be anything but an "ordinary show", as the Trash boys would say.

See yaz all there

Mick

We are now up to about 20 members who have shown interest.

Sparra · #100 Post by **Sparra** » Tue Jul 12, 2005 8:20 pm

Sounds good fellas...Jindy..Do you guys go straight over the top to get to Corryong or do you go down the highway???
regards...Sparra

I travel through Namadgi then past Cabramurra and Sue City. I am over that way once a month for fallow and have tried all the versions and this is the fastest, shortest route for me.

If I was living in the east I'd so be there. Is there a way that I can block myself from seeing this post

Ah you poor soul, you'll just have to go hunting that weekend and pretend that your with us.

I'm pretty certain that there a lot of your trips that we wish we could go on as well Adam.

Is there good fishin roun them there hills??

Mick Smith · #105 Post by **Mick Smith** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 5:14 pm

Pete

There's some excellent trout fishing in that area. There's about 3 really good trout streams with 40 kms or so.

I'm going to take my rod just in case.

Ok so from Adelaide what is the best route to take to get there and how long should it take???

Trying to plan ahead, and what day or time is everyone else going to be getting there??????

tracker · #107 Post by **tracker** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 7:15 pm

from Adelaide what is the best route to take

Head due north matey... when you cross the border into the NT, HAMMER IT till you get to darwin.

We'll be thinking of you.

No matey.. I will be the camp PRIMITIVE!

Mick Smith · #111 Post by **Mick Smith** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 7:41 pm

Tracker, you're a lost cause, a funny bugger though.

Mick

You'd come through Renmark then along the Murray Valley Highway all the way there. It might be a bit shorter going through Bordertown and across through Bendigo then up to Wodonga. I don't know. The Murray Valley would be more interesting though.

I'm going to get there on the Friday night just before dark, I'd say. I'll be coming straight after work, leaving home at about 2pm.

Mick

jindydiver · #112 Post by **jindydiver** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 8:01 pm

I would go the sturt highway to Robinvale then Murray Valley highway too.
I hope to be there on Thursday evening.

Hood · #113 Post by **Hood** » Wed Jul 13, 2005 8:20 pm

Thanks guys.

I to was thinking of getting there either Thursday night or Friday arvo. not sure yet.

erron · #114 Post by **erron** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 12:19 pm

Not sure how IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ll go about the navigation: either Gundy drives and I navigate & 'mind' the beer, or vice versa. It just doesnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t look good, either wayÃ¢â‚¬Â¦

Pete · #115 Post by **Pete** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 2:11 pm

Yep, then you can come through Kerang

Pete · #116 Post by **Pete** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 2:14 pm

I reckon somewhere would wanna get there early...its the last days of the Vic school holidays, and a long weekend for N.S Welshman. I know from experience that it's bloody hard to find a campsite on the holidays even if it is at the end of em..There always taken.

Hood · #117 Post by **Hood** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:56 pm

It's also a long weekend here in SA that weekend.

Pete were you hinting at a lift with me if so thats not a problem we could organise something...........you can sit in the back of the ute

Mick Smith · #118 Post by **Mick Smith** » Thu Jul 14, 2005 5:58 pm

I can feel the start of an illness that might just happen to strike on the Monday morning.
