TRIP LEADER'S NAME: Bella Rukuata ( 2079 )
DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: FWDV 50th anniversary weekend - attendees only please Mt Skene look see.
No plan in place (cos she is a fly by the seat of her pants kinda gal) and I have to apply for a permit (yes it's a little late in timing but I have to try). So if you want to fumble along with me then sign up and let's see what happens. If you are the oracle of all things Mt Skeen put it in the comments section, if you are a newbie and looking for a challenge let me know in the comments. If you are looking for well structured regimented, on time and zero detour or delays then this absolutely NOT your trip. What I will offer is a couple of giggles, inclusion to building connections with others and a son who will gladly accept food from all corners of the group (yes I feed him too, I'll just say 15). Max registrations is ten but I'm not sure and might reduce given experience. Might be snow, probably not, could be unicorns as well, somethings we will have to see.
TRIP MEETING ADDRESS: This is for members registered for the FWDV 50th anniversary, location for start will be discussed onsite Friday night.

DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: This is the 19th (actual) Annual Far East Gippsland track clearing with Parks Victoria. It was missed counted as 19th last year. It is a combined event between the Pajero Club, The Range Rover Club and Land Rover Owners Club of Victoria. We will also be having the Friends of Errinundra involved throughout the 4 days. Due to numerous popular requests, we will be officially running two trips. Trip 1 – 18th Saturday - 19th Sunday Oct Trip 2 – 16th Thursday – 17th Friday Oct This is for Trip #1
18-19 Oct. The agenda is to do track clearing, trach assessments and gate opening. We are seeking both chainsaw operators and helpers in the ratio of 1:2. We are normally short on helpers so please come along and assist. Or just come along for the trip. The Snowy NP area is a spectacular region. It is recommended that you extend your visit to the areas and explore the region either before or after the track clearing event. For those that have just obtained your Chainsaw proficiency certificate this year, here is your chance to put your training and equipment to the test. Lots of opportunity to practice and volunteer your service. But as mentioned, we will need more ordinary helpers than chainsaw operators to move the cuttings and fallen branches. We may be required to work in the 3 National Parks • Snowy NP • Errinundra NP • Alpine NP Parks Victoria Rangers from Orbost, Cann River and possibly other offices will be involved and embedded in the groups going out. Again this year, we will be base camping at Wilson’s Hut just outside Bendoc. This is a lovely flat and green grassy area with a newly built toilet building and the lovely Wilson’s hut. Saturday night’s agenda is yet to be confirmed. Possibly something at the local Bendoc Community Hall. There are 2 hot showers available with gold coin donation. There are pre-requisites which we have to adhere to. Volunteers must have a current WWCC (Working With Children Check) card. Further details about the campsites and meeting places will be known closer to the date and participants will be asked for their preferences. If you do not have a WWCC card, it is free to apply for one and only takes 10 minutes online and a visit to the Post Office for those without a Service Victoria account. See previous email on this from me or read the attached PDF. Last fuel stop is at Delegate, NSW (20 mins) or Orbost. Be prepared for cold and wet conditions and bring all your food, water, camping and cooking gear for the weekend. It had snowed in previous years.

A basic course on navigation skills. By understanding the basics on map reading, plotting points and routes then students will gain skills and knowledge that they can apply when navigating in off-road situations.
TRIP LEADER'S NAME: Simon Garraway ( 799 )
DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: Continued maintenance of the Jerico Cemetery and other points of interest within our allocated area, all of which is becoming easier each trip. Time permitting, we will include side trips to Matlock, Woods Point and a couple of mine sites, one of which rarely has visitors ... yes, a walk.... not difficult, just navigating a fallen tree, as always, your choice. Equipment like mowers, whipper snippers, hedge cutters, chain saw, cleaning equipment and fuel are supplied, all you need is PPE and enclosed footwear. Being a bush camp, you need to be self-sufficient in all aspects, there is no toilet. The campsite is good for all types of accommodations ranging from tents to reasonable clearance caravans. Most of the driving is easy, with magnificent views at times. A couple of moderate patches will find you in low range, but a standard Pajero has done it all. Those who have participated before, have always enjoyed the trip, learnt a lot and seen things in places and wondered how.
TRIP MEETING ADDRESS: Base Camp, near the corner of Walhalla / Woods Point Road and Victor Spur track, approx. 32klm's past Thompson Dam wall. Detailed maps and directions will be emailed to you, as the base camp is approx. 250 metres from the intersection
