Im in... thought that went without saying though. Since it's looking like large numbers we will have to choose locations that will accomodate us.

Looks likes it could be a go-er then. Just a note - After last year i am not looking to repeate it. Most of us on here go 4WD IF i am to organise then it WILL be 4WD - i am not interested in how many crap non 4WD Subarus we can get there or i may as well invite the Peth WRX crew.

LOL... we can always have some fun and tie snatch straps from the more powerful EJ subies to the non-4wds and take em offroad.

NOt saying you can not take it just do not want to hear abpout it when you can not make it - remember you did not want to dothat section that Mike did down to the river.

yeah well i think you would all agree i made the right choice there, my bumper is lower than mikes..

BlackMale · Post by **BlackMale** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 2:40 pm

Yes and if it would not make that then i am sure that we can find heaps more that it will not make.

mattims · Post by **mattims** » Tue Sep 12, 2006 2:50 pm

fine.. i'll bring the L and you can tell me its not lifted and wont make it and ill tell you i dont care. Anything that sticks down 3 inches from the bottom is probably gone now anyway.

what is the final plan?? or at least a meeting point and time!

BlackMale · Post by **BlackMale** » Thu Oct 12, 2006 10:50 am

This trip will take us a series of forestry tracks, fire lines and logging access roads between Lane Pool Reserve and Yarloop. The trip is approximately 330km return trip from Perth, and with a convoy of this size it could take us some time to complete.

I have already contacted CALM to make sure that the track is open for us to traverse (and it is). From memory I was sure that there is only 1 section that will pose any issue, there are no granny tracks around it (well there was not 1 when we did it) however it is not to significant and unlifted Subaru’s should be ok.

I also feel that I should warn you all of several things as our preparation has not been anywhere near as good as it has been in the past.

1. It has been at least 12 months since we recon this trip so fingers crossed it has not changed to much as a convoy of this size will be interesting to turn around.

2. All our map books n stuff are still packed and we can not locate them. When we recon trips we make adjustments to the notes about changes in trip and we now do not have access to this so fingers crossed we do not make to many mistakes.

3. I do not recall a place to have lunch however it is possible that it WILL NOT be near a town or shop so bring supplies/food.

The other change worth noting is that with this trip is that I feel that we will initially be bypassing the water crossing. The water crossing is not part of this trip it’s a side track before the beginning of the trip and the reason for bypassing it is that my concern is that someone will drink some water before the trip even begins and thus we will loose a day of driving.

As I said with a convoy of this size it should take us some time to complete the trip, however should we finish early there:
- Are more then enough tracks in the area to explore.
- A second trip out of Dwellingup that we have done recon for as well
- Someone knew of some tracks around Waroona (didn’t they Tim)
- Is the optional 90 achers visit on the way home.

Critical Information – Edit.

Meeting Time – Saturday 14th October 2006 between 09:00 and 09:28. This time will be for meet n greet, talking and photos. Departure is scheduled for 09:30 don’t be late.

Meeting Place – Corner of Kwinana Freeway and Mundijong Road. Once you take the Mundijong Rd exit turn left onto Mundijong Rd and on the LHS you will see a medium sized car park - this will be the meeting place. The entry/exit road for this car park is approx 100 meters along Mundijong Rd on the LHS. This location has been strategically chosen as there is a service station and food about 2 km’s up the road (at Baldivis Rd) and we will not have to worry about all of us getting out into traffic in convoy.

Terrain – Ball bearing gravel and rocks on forestry tracks, fire lines and logging access roads between Lane Pool Reserve and Yarloop.

Distance –330km’s minimum. Make sure you have a FULL tank of fuel before departure time. I will be carrying fuel however should you need it you will have to pay for it, those remote bush prices are expensive ;-)lol

Radio Channel – In the past we have used 17 as the primary and 16 as a back up. If we find on the day that we are getting interferences on these frequencies then an alternative channel will be sort. Remember the radio’s are our only way of communicating and with the lack of preparation from us and a group this big we will need to be able to communicate with each other – please remember this.

Weather – CALM has granted us access to the area rain hail or shine. Forecast is for fine and 23 degrees.
