Not to hijack, but I'll be up that way too with a group of 4-5 cars. You really notice just how busy it gets up that way long weekends now.

Originally posted by jamieprado View PostHi Gents,
I'm really keen to catch up with some other Prado's!! I will be down there at the same time with a 4WD club. I don't know the area well so take a look at where i'll be, below, and if our trips cross paths (even if our camps are close) i'd like to meet up for a cuppa or could even continue on with you guys depending on the end location. Happy with the Black Diamond stuff.
Coming down from Sydney with my dad on the Friday then off to SA Kangaroo Island on the Tuesday and will swap my dad for the wife and bub.
The tracks we are taking are,
Friday night camp near Licola Nth.
Saturday head up Black Soil Gully, cross the Mccallister river several times, up Butcher country, down the Caledonia track onto the Caledonia river for camp.
Sunday, climb up Dingo. Visit some huts and a walk to Bryces Gorge. Down Zeka spur track into Wannangatta for camp.
Monday travel down the Wannangatta valley then climb up Billy Goat. Then head towards Talbotville and explore.
Tuesday come out near Dargo
Cheers,
Jamie
Some good tracks there, black soil gully is real fun in the wet, steep & clay rutted up depending if its been graded.
The maccalister is fun too, watch out for the big rocks.
Last I heard dingo was real mud boggy but it was very wet then.
We won't be in those areas, although we probably should do a run out tat way soon too.
We might see you anywhere from the zeka onwards.
Sounds lie you have a great weekend panned.
Keep an eye out for a bunch of prados.

Originally posted by JPH View PostThanks for the heads up Piggy, appreciate it. I also believe 4x4 Earth will be staying at Talbotville that weekend too, so the hills will be alive again!
Cheers. JPH

So what do we think about making it a Talbotville reccie?
Make it easier for the hard workers.
Str8 to T then home from there.
What do you think?
So I think Talboville reccie is a good idea.
Worse case I could come Friday evening and leave Sunday arvo.[COLOR=#3E3E3E][URL="http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread.php?31747-Shan-s-Silver-TD-Altitude-with-Attitude"]2012 Altitude TD Auto - Silver[/URL] [/COLOR]

Sounds like I should book another cheap flight and pack my swag and hitch a ride with one of you for the weekend.[B]Tasmania 2015 GTG Committee Member[/B] 2005 Prado Pilbara, Sovereign Bar, Driver & passenger weathershields, UHF TX3220, Spare wheel spaces, Lifestyle rack, Genuine front & midrow seatcovers, Genuine front & midrow rubber floor mats, ARB 47 litre fridge/freezer, Hilux washer jets, BF Goodridge A/T, Radiator protection plate, Dual battery tray and isolator, ARB 2.5m awning, Rhino heavy duty areo bars, MSA rear wheel bin, MAXTRAX
