watertrade Posted April 1, 2009 Hi everyone does anyone want to go on a midyear camping trip? I'm thinking somewhere in between Sydney and Melbourne to get a few people from both cities. nothing fancy, just a get together over maybe 2/3 nights. Maybe the Oberon mushroom hunt could be this mid year trip? see the mycology forum would like to know what you guys think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chiral Posted April 2, 2009 We gunna camp...as in tents...? or stay in the local boozer in town which would have cheap ass rooms..? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted April 2, 2009 We gunna camp...as in tents...? or stay in the local boozer in town which would have cheap ass rooms..? I would be happy either way although it would be nicer (I think) to be away from other people. one of the stateparks has reasonably prices cabins and there is a bit of nature too. http://www.stateparks.nsw.gov.au/accommodation it could get a little clostrophobic inside after a couple of hours. at least camping out somewhere there is lots of room to move around.

Amulte Posted April 3, 2009 sounds like a sweet idea, i know im keen (commitments depending) camping is always a good option as generally you dont have a curfew and all too often there are not many others around so noise isnt a concern. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
watertrade Posted April 8, 2009 I imagine this mid year camping trip idea will peter out - in part, due to not having any ideas of a venue. But that said - I'm still keen and suggest the first weekend in May - 2nd & 3rd. as for a location…… who knows… ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chiral Posted April 8, 2009 I'm still in...come on ya pussies ......SUBS+ Amananitas.......the month and dates are cool by me..hands up who still wants ta go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MindExpansion Posted April 8, 2009 Yeh that weekend fits perfectly for me, just after my exam Peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kindness Posted April 8, 2009 If you are looking for somewhere between melbourne and sydney I know a few very nice spots to camp where we will see noone and not be bothered. I'd be keen even if it was just to show you guys a spot or two. Oberon is definately not an option for me, too much fuel from here. nehow, keep the discussion going friends peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

apothecary Posted April 10, 2009 Hi guys, Just looking at the map, I would say Hollbrook/Tumbarumba area is approx halfway between both Melb and Syd. About 5-6 hours from each city. The Bago State Forest, Bogong Peaks Wilderness and both Blowering and Talbingo resevoir are just to the east, and very nice areas which I have spent some time.

Chiral Posted April 11, 2009 I'm up for it..I can take a couple of people if they wanna chip in the fuel..5-6 hrs is nothing really. I've got a beat old station wagon and it can fit heaps of bits n bobs and sleeping bags etc. ME what do you reckon..you have a station wagon also..in better nick than mine and can fit a few in...mind you you're driving skills are not the best..LMAO..
