Postponed - Gordon Country 20th and 21st March

Post by GridPack »

Hi All,
I'd like to get back up to Gordon Country to get the moths out of our camping gear before the major trip this year. We'll do some tracks but the major focus is camping.
A very nice spot with great camping and views just over the range from Cunninghams gap.
They close the tracks during wet weather so I'd leave the actual booking until a day or two before.

Where: Gordon Country Camp Grounds (http://www.gordoncountry.com.au) Ph - (07) 4666 6179
Cost: $30 4WD fee, plus $17 per adult per night and $10 per child per night. Children up to 4 years are FREE.
When: Saturday 20th and Sunday 21st March
Meeting Place: Aratula Shell at 9:00am
UHF: Channel 13
Trip Leader: Don - 0407 030 693

Gordon Country is about 70 minutes drive from Aratula.
Bookings must be paid in full Online using their Online Reservation system and secure Payment Gateway. Guests will be automatically emailed a reservation and payment receipt. Bring that along on the Saturday.

There is a $30 Mandatory additional fee if you wish to do some 4WD trail driving.

Firewood can be collected on the property.

Please let us know if you wish to come along. It should be a great camping weekend with a good sized fire, and some nice country side. Have a look at the website for photos of the campground. A very nice place to camp - there are facilities but depending upon where we camp we may have to walk a bit to them. Take drinking water as their website indicates the water quality is not too good.

My brother and a couple of other friends are also camping out there the same weekend and will probably join us - so we'll have some extra company around the fire.

No problem.
The weather forecast forecast is making the weekend look increasingly iffy for doing tracks and making the ground unpleasantly soggy for camping.
If the rain eventuates I'll postpone till after the desert trip.
Cheers,
Don

I'll postpone this trip till after the 2 week border/Simpson trip.
This weekend would be just too muddy after all the rain we have had this week.
Cheers,
Don
