Gordon Country 10th and 11th of May - Postponed

[Dave]

Sorry - Will have to postpone this trip. Not too many seemed to be available, and I may not have my car back from a 4x4 shop, our family tent failed (PE floor disintegrating, and leaving thousands of black particles sticking to everything), and now have 2 people in the family sick at home. So we will postpone this trip for some upcoming weekend in the near future.

Hi All,

The Gordon Country weekend trip is rapidly approaching. However, did anyone have a strong preference for another location?

Where: Gordon Country Camp Grounds (http://www.gordoncountry.com.au) Ph - (07) 4666 6179
Cost: $28 4WD fee, plus $13 per adult per night and $8 per child per night. Children up to 4 years are FREE.
When: Saturday 10th of May
Meeting Place: Aratula Shell at 9:00am (last one there has to write up the trip report)
UHF: Channel 13
Trip Standard: Expected to be Blue Square to Black Diamond
Trip Leader: Dave (Prado Dave) - Ph 0407 735 409

Gordan 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.

There is a mandatory vehicle fee per booking which must also be paid at time of booking. There is a $28 Mandatory fee is you wish to do some 4WD trail driving. $13 per adult per night and $8 per child per night. Children up to 4 years are FREE.

The forecast temperature is expected to be from around 23 degrees to 10 degrees minimum.

Firewood can be collected on the property, so I'll bring along my chainsaw. The chimney log fire will definitely be on the agenda.

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. Very nice. I remember the creek was very fantastic and very clear. There are supposed to be new 4WD tracks in the area as well.


From their web site.
NEW FOUR WHEEL DRIVE TRACKS!

To all our valued guests we are very proud and pleased to advise of our new four wheel driving tracks!
In addition to our well established favourite wheel drive tracks, being Gatton Crossing and The Banshee, we are proud to introduce the Goomburra Play Pen and the Goomburra Rocky Mountain Climb.

The Goomburra Play Pen and some other (as yet unnamed) sites are designed for those with adventure and mischief in mind. These are short but very challenging tracks up and down the sides of the mountains. At Gordon Country, we say good luck to all the Nissans braving these tracks! Go Toyota!

The Goomburra Rocky Mountain Climb is a loop on the Maryvale side of the property which will take approximately an hour and a half to traverse. This track will take you across some extreme steep sections and we recommend it for the more experienced drivers only.

Unfortunately we will have to give this trip a miss.

Would have liked to go but go too much happening at present.

I can't make this one either. I have never been there so would have liked to have been able to make it.
