Another great weekend away and recently purchased an Oztent RV5, on the close up photo you may notice the installation of a wood burner for the extra level of comfort

Heading into the high country this morning there was more trees down on the blacktop than on the trails

Next trip dates have moved,
Due to a predicted cold & wet weather around the Woods Point area (where the planned overnight camping would be) causing a couple of vehicles postponing we have decided to move the next trip back a week to Saturday May 6th and Sunday May 7th, let me know if this change works for your trip plans

I always recommend that you learn the old skills such as map reading, your vehicles GPS can get you close but those last few km require foot power not horsepower

Hi all, I've finally settled on dates for the next trip, being Saturday the 29th and Sunday 30th of April.
If I can get feedback who is interested on either a day trip or overnight I can then finalise numbers.
Kicking off the day meeting at Warburton at 8am on the Saturday and then up to Big River, Jamieson, Goulburn river, Woods Point and back either via Marysville or Warburton. PM me for further details or call / txt Craig on 0411 462 063

If you go into the Vic high country, then save these contacts and put these phone numbers into your contacts

Keep an eye out for the side of the road, the top branch will take out your wing mirror and the bottom branch will puncture your tyre

Have you ever come across someone else’s camp? Hunters? Or regulars to the area? If you really need the shelter then thats ok, but if your just being nosy then stay out!

To give your SUV more storage space take a look at the Rhino roof rack. My advice (and I have one) is to understand the total weight your vehicle roof can carry, then decide if you want to carry long items up there such one of the fantastic Oztent series (as they are long) then you might want to consider a half width basket and then carry the tent to the side.
