W.A to S.A run August 2014
It has been in discussion for a few months now between Paul (RSR 555)(W.A), myself (W.A) and Bennie (El_Freddo)(VIC) about a Fishing and Camping run to S.A around August 2014.
I realize this is for mid next year but the idea of an early thread is to get a general feel for who may be interested in this run, and an invite extends to all AUSubaru members Australia wide, Ideally each State would Coordinate with their members in each State within this thread and will be updated as required on this main post.
Throw around a few ideas and lets see what happens, the Eyre Peninsula would be a great spot (Awesome fishing and Camping).
Interested W.A Members:
Wayne (Kalbarri_baru)
Paul (RSR 555)
Jayson (classic jay)
Doug (Subydoug)
Interested S.A Members:
(Silverbullet)
Interested Vic Members
Bennie (El_freddo)

All good from my side bro and definitely count me in. If Jayson has his Brumby done by then, I'm sure he'd want to come along tooKalbarri_baru wrote:Paul (RSR 555) good for August (hope this is ok Paul)
I'm also interested in going to Le Grand NP near Esperance but might need a day or 2 as it looks awesome. Check this like out...

Count me in as a definite maybe Would be great to meet a few faces from the forum and everyone meeting in my home state is a chance I can't miss I would be very lucky to have my wagon done by then, if it's not done I will at least have my Brum Weberized by then, maybe some bigger wheels/tyres. I read someone mentioning port lincoln way, I'd have to make sure I'm reliable for the 700k drive. Eyre peninsula would work too but I have no idea about 4WD spots, I've never been offroading!
Plenty of time to plan ahead, let's hear the ideas bounce around. I assume it would have to be more than a weekend thing, so 1 week or 2?

The great thing about a big get together is we can all learn from each other, I am always in soft sand on the beach and would be more than happy to show you some techniques on the beach and I carry an assortment of recovery equipment.Silverbullet wrote: I have no idea about 4WD spots, I've never been offroading!
Would be great to meet other members and will put you down for interested from S.A.

Yeah Cape Le Grand is an awesome place so is Duke of Orleans Bay East of Cape Le Grand and from there at Condingup we could do the inland road to Baladonia (Roadhouse on the Hwy).RSR 555 wrote:I'm also interested in going to Le Grand NP near Esperance but might need a day or 2 as it looks awesome.

Check this spot out in both Satellite mode and Map mode in Google Earth, NO Reserve's or National Park (Map mode will show National Park and Reserve's in green). look at the Blue Fish up close and you will see 4wd's and a Caravan there.NachaLuva wrote:Ceduna has some nice beaches & awesome fishing...people sized mulloway!
But you need a permit from the local landowners....

I like this.. as you say below, we are staying out of NPs. Would we be able to get to Orleans Bay in one day?Kalbarri_baru wrote:Yeah Cape Le Grand is an awesome place so is Duke of Orleans Bay East of Cape Le Grand and from there at Condingup we could do the inland road to Baladonia (Roadhouse on the Hwy).

Duke of Orleans Bay is less than 60km from the Cape le Grand T/O and even less if everyone has a 4wd this would take it down to half that distance if we travel from Rossiter bay along the beach towards Duke of Orleans bay (Condingup).RSR 555 wrote:Would we be able to get to Orleans Bay in one day?
So can we make it to Duke of Orleans bay from Cape le Grand in one day unless we all get bogged on the beach (Yes) from Perth, well that depends.
I reckon we float a plan for some user input for the where, how and why, I can create an draft itinerary in PDF with some suggested stops for those that are interested to view and make comment, (Need about a week to complete).
I can make it to Esperance (Cape le Grand) in a day from Rockingham / Mandurah, Hey Paul would ur workshop be a good starting point for everyone ???.
Esperance will be the last cheap fuel and groceries until Ceduna so it might be worth getting there during business hours.
Cheers

I'm happy to go straight to Orleans Bay and just drive through Le Grand.
I'm happy to make the starting point the workshop but for some this might be out of the way. If we leave from Rocko? you're welcome to stop over at my place, so we could leave early in the morning.
I'll be getting all my food supplies before I leave, as I shouldn't be using too much in the first day but I'd like to work out the kms, so I can check whether I'll have enough for the inland road and for what ever beach running we do?
Might be good to sit down one night and go over some tracks, so we can work out the best way across.. I can't wait !!

I could cook something up with the boss to tag along. Long term plans are hard where I work because one week we could be sitting around, next week flat out making product. Doesn't hurt to let him know anyway.....

yeah ok I hear ya, spose we had better look at where our destination is likely to end at (Adelaide, Eyre Peninsula) and work out how much time everyone has off, I will be good for 2 and a half weeks (18 days) (Rockingham to Rockingham).RSR 555 wrote:ASAP and don't think I can wait till Feb 2014
Looks like Guy is giving this some thought.

I'd like to end up at Coffin Bay, as this was my plan for this year. This is really good for all (IMO) unless you have any other plans?Kalbarri_baru wrote: yeah ok I hear ya, spose we had better look at where our destination is likely to end at (Adelaide, Eyre Peninsula) and work out how much time everyone has off, I will be good for 2 and a half weeks (18 days) (Rockingham to Rockingham).
18 days from Rocko to Rocko should be plenty. The other thing is I've only been thinking of the trip across, there's also the return trip to stop and see other places.
