Sounds like a cracker of a trip and definitely interested once I get my new rig (tomorrow). I'll keep an eye out on future trips!

Fellas, late notice again but I had a trip planned to abercrombie (near Oberon) and a mate piked it! anyone else keen?

I'd like to go there soon but unfortunately not available this side of Easter. Relaxing/preparing till the GTG. I've read the tracks there can change dramatically with rain so be cautious. Have fun!

Is anyone looking for some camping and looking around the upper Turon over Easter? My son and I are keen to get away but wouldn't mind some company if you are not gong to GTG.

Geaz there hasn't been any NSW PP trips for a long while!

Snowmann, did you manage get away? How was it?

Planing a trip to do the Davies Plains track from Sydney from the 17 th to 21st 22nd may , myself , a 200 series , possibly another 120 . If any one interested .

Mate, I'd hate to be the bringer of bad news, but you'd better pack up and go NOW cause Davies Plains is subject to seasonal closures earlier than most other tracks. I believe it starts 1st May.

I just came from there and some tracks are already a bit slippery after the recent rain. Bloody cold too!!!

Day drive tomorrow - Mt Airlie - difficult - winch or lockers required. Post up if interested!

Hi Guys
I am planning two or three short trips camping and 4wd exploring during the upcoming school holidays. As follows:-
Monday 30th June to maybe Thursday 3rd July - Turon river
Saturday 5th to Tuesday 8th July - Abercrombie National Park area
Saturday 12th to Tuesday 15th July - Bendethera
Do one or two PP people want to come and enjoy one or more of these. I will have my wife at Turon but just my son (Hilux) at the other two.

Your son is named Hilux?

Might be interested in the Turon and Bendethera trips along with 1 or 2 teenage sons.
What are you thinking with Turon. Lithgow right through to Sofala or what? pity you can't roll Sun 29th in as well

Hi Malcolm
Son has his own Hilux - not a Prado but at least it has the right badge in the centre of the nose. Re Turon ... planning to bring the camper via Lithgow, Capertee then set up camp at the Diggings campground on the Turon. Then do day trips e.g. Pinnacle fire trail, leaving wife and camper at the campsite. We have done a couple of trails there - haven't gone as far as Sofala but a possibility (we have topo maps). My Prado is pretty stock but my son has 2 inch lift and a few extra bits so we would plan on easy/medium grade tracks. Family has commitments on the weekend so unfortunately Monday is the start for Turon.
the Bendethera run will be a little more flexible.
We can work out meeting places etc if you are interested
Cheers
Mark

Damn. Been wanting to check out Bendethra for a while, but work commitments mean no chance of week days off at the moment. I'd only be able to do sat/sun which doesn't leave a lot of time. I could be there early Saturday. Need to check work situation that weekend.
