Shamanistic Posted December 12, 2011 When/where is everyone meeting up again? I live in Newcastle and would love to make some new friends with similar interests as most people I know make judgement when I talk about the sort of topics discussed here.

toast Posted December 13, 2011 Yeah I think it would be good to start planning something for early next year. Any thoughts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marcel Posted December 13, 2011 My thoughts are: "Yes!". Mid January maybe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheExplorer Posted December 13, 2011 Exploration (doof) is on 13th-15th of Jan and I daresay a few members would be there that weekend (myself included hopefully). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted December 14, 2011 Blue Mountains hey .... not sure if I'll be able to make that. Maybe the following weekend is better then - 21/ 22 Jan. How about Newcastle area this time? Camping or afternoon affair? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fheenix Posted December 18, 2011 21/22 Weekend is good for me too. Location ? Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby Posted December 18, 2011 Yea most likely be settled by then.. should work for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamanistic Posted December 19, 2011 Yeah that's a good weekend. I should be able to come and all the relatives should have gone by then Glenrock lagoon or somewhere surrounding would be a nice place to camp in Newcastle. Don't know if it's legal or not though.

Sallubrious Posted December 19, 2011 I wouldn't mind catching up again. I'm almost certain Glenrock doesn't allow camping. The Watagans has a few camping areas that could be closer for the central coast members ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamanistic Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) A few people I know have camped at Glenrock and said it was good. I do think that it is illegal though. I wouldn't mind going to the Watagans as I haven't been down there for a while. Edited December 19, 2011 by SuperShamanistic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby Posted December 20, 2011 don't know many places up that way.. definitely find somewhere to camp though, i know the main beach at newcastle is heavily developed and everything is banned there, are there any quiet type beaches we could use? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted December 25, 2011 I was at the Watagans recently & saw some goods. Access was a little dicey for 2WD though. Not sure of good legal coastal locations - I have a look into it though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try to pull my finger out over the weekend and sort out some potential locations Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neoshaman Posted January 6, 2012 Remember that eileen cut you gave me I was checking it out the other day and it seems in my attempts to rescue it from the destruction caused by my previous landlord its gone sort of weird and is growing from 7 different points instead of the normal 4, major trip i'll bring it along or at least some pics so you can check it out hanging to see how it develops now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OPP Posted January 6, 2012 Won't be at Exploration but would be keen to come along again. Don't have alot planned during January at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted January 9, 2012 OK so the only coastal camping spot I've managed to track down near Newcastle is at Munmorah SRA in North Wyong. As mentioned previously, Watagans NP is also an option, not on the coast but has a creeks & water falls. Another option is Hawkesbury where the last meet was. Any thoughts?

fheenix Posted January 11, 2012 I'm open to suggestion...will attend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neoshaman Posted January 11, 2012 I'll vote Munmorah haven't really had a chance to explore up that way yet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sallubrious Posted January 12, 2012 Munmorah sounds good, let's make it happen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shamanistic Posted January 12, 2012 It doesn't bother me where we go, seems everyone is keen on Munmorah so looks like I'll be meeting you all down there . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
indigo264nm Posted January 12, 2012 I'll try and make it as well. As an ex coastie I find it shameful that I don't know any of the current coastie ethno crew. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toast Posted January 12, 2012 Just checked the NPWS site for Munmorah (http://www.environment.nsw.gov.au/NationalParks/parkCamping.aspx?id=N0605). The sites are numbers & booked are required, especially this time of year. We may have left it a bit late, and several people haven't turned up to every meet I've been to, so this may not be the best option. Maybe we should go to Hawkesbury - its discrete & free, open camping ie no numbers spots or booking required. Who is keen for that? I will have room in my car for SallyD plus one other. We should be able to organise other car pooling as well Sorry I didn't check this earlier Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
