Where do we meet?
Where do we go wheeling?
Where do we stay over night?
What do we need to bring?
Who is coming?
How can we stay in contact?
What's the schedule?

Cheers guys :)

Ok so I went for a run to Station Creek just for you guys. The weather for the next few days looks like it'll be a bit damp at times so be prepared for wet weather camping.

There are 2 ways to get there. From the northern side heading south you'll turn left onto Newfoundland Rd (through Newfoundland SF) then right onto Burns Rd and then Left onto Barcoongere Way and just follow the signs to Yuraygir NP.
On the southern side heading North turn right onto Barcoongere Way and follow through :)

The road surface is loose and pebbly so take caution when approaching corners and crests as it can get narrow and off camber in places.

Facilities:

Well I removed the pump and stripped it and couldn't find anything wrong except a bolt seemed a bit loose. Put back together and $10 of powersteering fluid later it is running ok, need more time to bleed the bubbles out.

So i'm ready to roll

Hey guys,

Great to see everyone coming together for some great outdoor action.

How was the trip and whats next on the agenda?
HillsForThrills OP

Ha ha unfortunately mate, it ended up just bein the 3 original cars as several blokes had work commitments/car issues etc... But we still had a ball exploring the area... I have been a little slack admittedly with the trip report, will get onto it asap... :)

Next trip...? We're talking about a DI run one weekend, but no dates set yet... Of course there's always Glassy :)

Sounds good, I'm keen to get mine off the road and see what it can do.
I'll have to keep my eye on the forums for the DI run.
