Okay I have spoken with Cruza about this by PM since our last outing as we also enjoyed it so much. Cruza I think is limited in his time for a little while and I thought it was only fair that somebody else do a little planning. So this was my thoughts, we would obviously want Adam along for his experience (Dan too)

Khancobin or Cooryong as a base, both van parks are clean, cheap clean allow groups and camp fires.for our day trips I thought we could split with an easy trail over major clews and through to threadbo for a latte or for the more adventurous cross the Murray into Vic and either Mt Pinnabar or Davis Plain hut trail. That's as far as it got as I have got as busy as at work, and will be vehicle less till end of April at the earliest as I have sold the Paj and ordered a Cruiser.

Might post it up in the trips section and see what comes of it.

Sounds like it could be a great trip Jimmy, but if we have to go after April I don't think I would have enough woolies to survive. :smow: If the same time of year as the last one, bring it on. :whoo:

I was wondering why my ears were burning today :ear:

I also think the true motive behind this trip is that Bush Palace really wants to take a look at the BT :flame:

As Jimmy mentioned we have exchanged a few PM's about organizing another meet up and were discussing a few ideas and the Corryong area sounded good.

This is where Dan aka ''The Kaboos'' and I stayed last September and the owners of the park are very accomadating. There is a big grass area at the rear of the park (non powered) that could be suitable or there is powered sites to choose from. Fires are allowed too.

This might be better off in the meet up area of the forum, I just thought I would have a bit of input :dance:

Geez BP your not very ambiguous I only saw two pubs in Tibooburra and I missed the golf course entirely in Cameron Corner. May have to go back :) I did choose the middle of summer to go so my own fault with the heat but that is bloody interesting country up there, the kids and I loved it.

You are a torment BP. I would love to get out there, I am wrapt in western Qld. Have been to Winton a few times and down the dinasour trail to Windorah and Quilpie but have not stopped in Diamantina NP

My problem is my daughter is returning from 5 years in Ireland at the beginning of April and going to stay here for a while so I doubt I can get away at that time. I'll keep my options open though if that's OK.
