Matt, 99% sure that Cheryl & I will be there now as it wasnt looking too flash a week or so ago with all the shite happening at work. Plan is to arrive late Thursday arvo, but not too sure sure how I will cope not doing any serious 4wding over the 2- 3 days...:(.

The water crossing just up the road can be interesting at times.

Thats not good,hope work sorts its self out, plenty of nice drives without doing anything to hard, besides which, a bloke with your experience could drive your standard Ranger further than many with twin locked 4wds...
I am looking forward to getting the D4 out on the tracks again:)

Yes Matt, will only be doing the easy drives, loop up to Mt Terrible probably, and that will probably be it. BTW, Nick & Mieke are interested in coming along as he wants to put the 105 through a few challenges.

I won't be doing anything really hard in the D4 but I am sure it will be "tested" a little;)
I have had water half way up the windscreen on some of the river crossings up there, certainly will NOT be attempting that in the D4, wouldn't imagine it would survive that...
Would be great if Nick and Mieke could make it

Unfortunately I have to pull out. Work has sent me on a training course the week prior - won’t be back till late in evening on the Friday. Super disappointed as this would of been my first 4x4 meet since owning a rig.

Thats a bummer, always next year and plenty of time to book time off for the SA gathering:)

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the Earth banner that normally makes its way to the gatherings?

Not long now, off road wheels go on the D4 this weekend:D
We are now hoping to get there Wednesday evening if work pans out nicely.
Weather forecast could be better but there is no bad weather just inappropriate clothing and a bigger fire will fix it so bring some wood or a chainsaw:)
