November can't come soon enough. It will be nice to put some faces to the names.
Looking forward to going 4bying with a group, and seeing others doing it, what a great learning experience.
And, of course to have others there for when things go pear shaped.

James, if you don't get a new rig by then, you can jump in and we will show you around some of the steeper tracks in the area.
By the way, are you still looking for something? What do you have in mind? Budget?
If I see something I will let you know.

How to get there
How to get to O’Tooles Flat
Basically the drive to Moe ( Last chance for FUEL) then onto Erica then onto Rawson is pretty straight forward., Although you don’t go into Rawson but continue up to the Thompson Dam,
Drive over the dam wall and continue onto a T intersection Walhalla Road turn Left
Stay on the main road
TRIG Track on Right , do not turn into – PSA
CHERRY TREE TRACK on Left, do not turn into – PSA
CASCADE SPUR do not turn into – PSA
JUNCTION – keep to the right
PIPELINE TRACK on left. Do not turn into- PSA
DREAM CREEK TRACK on right, do not turn into – PSA
MERRINGTON TRACK – TURN RIGHT
PLEASANT TRACK on right , do not turn into- PSA
SULLIVAN TRACK off to left, do not turn into- PSA ( there is also a track leading down to the right which leads you down to MERRINGTONS camp area- DO NOT GO DOWN THIS ONE )
You will cross over a stream / river and you will come to a JUNCTION, to the right there is WILLIAMSON”S SPUR TRACK which is the most direct but is steep down Flats Track
WILLIAMSON”S SPUR TRACK ,. TURN RIGHT
FLATS TRACK on left, TURN LEFT
It is a steep descent in spots but you will soon see a clear area lower down, this is O’TOOLES FLAT
Your other Alternative is at WILLIAMSON”S SPUR TRACK, do not turn into – PSA
Continue on Merringtons track and shortly you will come to another creek crossing, crossing the creek, off to your right is JUNCTION TRACK turn onto this

the 2nd alternative is a little longer but a MUCH nicer track... if you plan on towing anything in, take Donnellys crk trk instead of flats track. I went this way on Wednesday to take a peek and it was quite easy. O'tooles via Donnelly crk trk is about 20km from the dam wall..
