Rover Park is it a definate goer?

[NOZ]

Are we all heading to Rover pk in May for sure?

I know its hard to think of this when most of you are heading off to Fraser

[Steinzy]

we were looking at the 29,30 of April and the 1st of May

If nobody is trip leader I will put my hand up :wink:

[NOZ]

Chris (aka RAT) and I went there about 2 months ago we didnt do all the tracks but I am sure we would go again and would be happy to help out

[NOZ]

It can get pretty cold so late April early May the weather would be starting to get cool

[Grimace]

damn straight it gets cold out there 8O

This park is excelent and i myself cant wait to go out there next https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Know afew good challenging tracks and afew nice more laid back ones, but am in no means a expert, i have been to the park many times but always to watch comps and only been twice to go genereal wheeling https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[MickG]

Yep, looking like this one's a goer now Steinzy has volounteered to lead. I will be posting info in the trip section soon.

IMPORTANT: If you are keen to come on this trip, please sign up via e-mail trips@gclro.com or at our next general meeting.

However general discussion about this trip can still take place on this thread https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Aye, Mick

[NOZ]

Will do Mick

[x-box]

Just don't expect me to volunteer as the recovery guinea-pig this time :oops:

Mick & Noz,

Will be coming with my clan. Wife and 4 of the children!!

Ages 16, 7, 5 & 3. 3y.o. is a boy (Darcy), the rest are girls. May have my son along too (22). Will let you know https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Mick,

Have put the trip on the RRCQ calendar, and in this month's mag. Are LROC on board with this too? I've put their moniker on it as well.

Cheers

Matt

[NOZ]

Wow another 4 child family, looks like lots of kids, I think I will bring some of my 4 maybe all. 6 year old twin girls, 3 year old boy & 1 year old boy. Might swap my 1 year old for our 10 year old nephew (less nappies)

[NOZ]

Hey Stevo, 2 x 3 year old boys, now thats going to be trouble :roll:

[stevo68]

I should have added maybe Sharleas 11yr old boy, though maybe with his Dad over that period, nothing like having mine, yours, and ours children setup 8O

Regards

Stevo

[FenianEel]

Good to see Noz,

Rover is great for wee ones, if anyone out there is debating. There's horse/pony rides, swings, play area, animal nursery, flushing toots and hot showers if you dont have your own......and now a huge flying fox!!

Not to mention wide open spaces, rivers, waterfalls, and Landy Rides galore!!!!

[Outlaw]

Hmmmm with all these kids going i think i may bring my 2 to play with them... 4 & 5 yo girls... :twisted:

better check that they allow dogs to come first https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[NOZ]

I can hear it now " Dad can my new friends sleep in our camper tonight " https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[NOZ]

You are spot on about Rover park being children friendly, our kids loved the horse riding

[FenianEel]

We're gunna have to start up a "Lil Rovers" club the way we're going here!!!

[FenianEel]

You can see now why I have the 7 seater https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

That's not enough if we're around and there's friends. I almost bought a Stage 1 with all the seats in the rear, a few mths back!! Still looking for a 2nd car/daughter's first car at present - most people want a runabout - I want a Landy with at least 6 seats https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>We're gunna have to start up a "Lil Rovers" club the way we're going here[/b][/quote] Ever since I bought the D3 and have taken the kids on the first trip to Ormeau, they are now landie addicts.

I hear you there, we had a brand new HSV R8 Clubsport and had to sell it after only 6mths as you know a family of 6 doesnt fit in a 5 seater.

We bought our D1 as a 5 seater and got the new rear seats fitted at Streetwise.

I tried to get wifey into a D2 7 seater as our second car but she wont give up the Audi ( well not yet anyway :roll: )

Cheers for that Matt, this should be a cracker of a trip. Have yet to send through to LROC, was going to do it today. Do you happen to have the trips contact point for them?

Aye, Mick

[FenianEel]

Mick,

I don't have their trip co-ordinator details but Vlad & Dave (adm333) are on the committee I think.

I just looked on the LROC website and saw they have a Moreton trip on that weekend. No reason they can't run two (we often have). It may be booked up anyway.

Vlad, Dave...you out there....can ye shed some light on this?..

[FenianEel]

Originally posted by Outlaw
Maybe just get it through to Vlad or ADM33 here... they're both on committee at BLROC

Hey, that's enough out of you Outlaw. here we are talking in circles and doing things ass about and you come out with a logical, time saving idea. :roll:
The nerve of some people. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Sensible idea, Steinzy, Outlaw....something you guys can sort out? A short term fix will be those stickers. Helpful for all new guys coming to our meetings. I'll see if I have some of those stickers in my office.

Mick

[FenianEel]

The RRCQ have name badges - they are dirt cheap - we could do AULRO ones with real name & monikers on them?

Or we could get to know each other.
Or do our own - it's a piece of p*ss.

[NOZ]

Hey Mick just another thought, maybe we could ask new members to introduce themselves and what they drive so everyone can relate to them.

[NOZ]

Tags would be helpful

He's keen https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ Good idea Noz, will bring it up at our next committee meeting.

Aye, Mick

[bolts]

Mick

Tags for all members would be a good idea for the new members (including myself) would also then know who the "old members" are. I have been on several trips now with the club and on each outing have meet new people or "old members" yet not every member comes to the same trips, events.

The only down side is getting each member to bring their name tags and wear them, as I'm suer this would not be a high on the list to bring on even day trips.

Have we got sticky labels we could use for Frazer????????

Cheers
Bolts

[NOZ]

Has anyone checked with Rover Pk to see if they have a event scheduled for that weekend?

[stevo68]

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Have we got sticky labels we could use for Frazer???????? [/b][/quote] Good minds must think alike as I was just thinking that for Fraser myself, not so much with GCLRO as I think I know most of em now :wink: but I know at first I didnt in terms of real names versus profile names. Mines easy Stevo, like derrrr, but for some of you creative types its a bit harder. Will be good when we get the AULRO jumpers with names on the back, will always know who's who https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ,

I have just sent them an email asking if there is any events on in May. I will post once I know

Noz,

Spoke to Hans & Heidi (owner), previously. No dramas for this weekend.
No events on and it's not normally busy for them, as it's only a QLD holiday.

All Good then https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[NOZ]

Ah sweet, I cant wait its a great place.

You said you have been their before, do you know a camp site that will fit a large group? We camped in site 10 and it would only fit about 4 families same as camp 9

[FenianEel]

Can't remember, but i know the ones down towards the river are huge....
We stayed at those ones New years 04/05. It's a stroll to the dam or the river, a hike or short drive to the showers and river.
Not too far, but far enough that the little ones can't get there too quickly or easily

[NOZ]

Yes need to keep the kids away from the water, well fast flowing deep water anyway.

[dungarover]

Camping sites there are pretty much all okay, some are bettetr than others. We camped up top of the hill in the main ara last time when the LROC went there.

As long as ther's shade, I'm not fussed. Bring on the off-roading :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Trav

[bolts]

Are there any caravan places in the camping area's I dont need power just need to know if I can get my van in there with out too much hassel :roll: . Caravan at this time is not an off roader so ground clearance is not great although it does go well through Rainbow Beach. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Cheers

You will get to the most camp grounds ok

They would have had a crappy day yesterday, nothing worse than setting up a tent in ****ing down rain. They have been blest with great sunny weather today and hopefully it will carry on tomorrow for them.

I am sure with a few Scotch's, Burbons, Rums or Beers the tents would have gone up with out to many hassles.

I hate the wind more than the rain, so I hope todays winds didnt out a downer on there day.

Sorry all, have to pull out of this weekend unfortuantely. We'll have to catch up workwise on the Saturday because we don't work Anzac day, plus a slow leadup to easter as well takes it toll on the hip pocket.

Guys,

I was planning on heading down during the day Friday - BUT I think I may not be leaving until later i.e. 6pm :evil: or sparrows fart the next morning.
What time and day are you guys heading down (either from Brissy or Goldy)?

Name Tags - probably a good idea - I may be able to get a hold of some "pin on" type ones. I could print the name and aliases, and do them for the children as well (if required). Let me know

[NOZ]

We will be on the road around 9-10am Friday morning

Yep, a few of us are leaving around 9am Friday morning from the Goldie.

Names tags would be a great if you can organise them. I would suggest everyone going to Rover PM's you a list of persons in their party?

We're meeting at the truck stop south of Tweed and then convoying straight to the park from there. Looking at the map it is basically straight down to lismore then directly west to Rover. From Brisbane - depending on chosen roads - it looks like it is more south west or cutting the corner so to speak. Don't know how to post a map by check out the Dirty Weekend guide for a map.

[NOZ]

Will have to see if I can get the clan moving early enough to be at the Tweed by 9am.

Can everyone wishing to convoy from the Goldie please let me know by PM so I can finalise a list.....if I don't hear from you I will assume you are making your own way to Rover Park and will therefore depart the meet point once all are ticked on my list.

Looking forward to a cracking weekend, although looking at some of those temps that Noz posted, I'd better pack my thermal underwear :wink:

Aye, Mick

[NOZ]

I think it will be a fair bit shorter and quicker for me to go via Warick than to go with you guys from the coast, might have to see if FenianEel cam get away in the am Friday and we can travel down together.

I dont mind going down by myself it would be more fun with another https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[Steinzy]

[LoadedDisco]

Would like to travel with you guys but I dont think I would get there before 9.30am, and I would hate to be the one that holds everyone up.

[Hardy]

Hi guys, I'm in the Rangie club and just letting you know my family and I are coming for all 3 nights - have camper trailer.

My wife Nicole and I have 2 girls who've both just had birthdays - one is 4 and the other is 1. I'll introduce you all when we get there.
We just came back from 9 days camping behind Mt Warning over Easter (little cold) and basically can't get enough. I showed Nicole the article Roothy wrote in 4WD Monthly about Rover Park and she's given it the okay.

Matt, I'm not sure who else from RRCQ is coming but we'll be leaving Brisbane (West End) Friday late morning, time the trip with the baby's sleeping habits.

Anyone else from Bris leaving Friday before lunch please give me a call - 0418 75 3131, otherwise see you all there !!

Hardy

PS - I can't wait....

Good news (sort of) is that I may be able to go on the weekend, but it may be a Saturday arvo arrival as I have some work to finish on the Sat morning maybe. Either way, I'm not promising anything ATM :x :x

We'll have to wait and see how things go I guess.

[MickG]

I wont **** on Stevo's bonfire so, come on Stevo....where's the Monday morning count down https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Okay, so far we have the following leaving from the Weigh Station just past Tweed heads. Let me know if anyone else will be joining us in convoy otherwise we shall see you all there.

1. Dranged + family
2. Mick G + Family
3. Loadedisco

Plan is to get there, scout out a camp site or appropriate site (depending on numbers, we may find ourselves in separate sections). Once we find a suitable site, we will inform the reception or check in where GCLRO are staying.
I would suggest other clubs and individuals do the same as I'm not sure if people will be contactable in the park on radio from reception - I'm only guessing though as I have never been before.

For those booking ANY accomodation within the park over the phone or when you arrive to check in, a 10% discount has been agreed with the owners so simply mention your club and you should be right.....I just spoke to them a second ago to confirm this and all is good and they have been made aware that AULRO, GCLRO, LROC, RRCQ will be arriving at various intervals over the weekend.
They don't normally give a discount over public holidays, but as this was discussed with them some weeks ago, they will honour their initial offer over this weekend.

Looking forward to a cracking weekend for both the kids, and families coming......of course the real kids will be off driving the tracks all day leaving the grown ups to take care of their own nappies and feeds :wink: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Also looking forward to meeting some new faces and getting to know the familiar ones better......names tags at the ready :wink:

Aye, Mick

[NOZ]

Hardy and myself will travel down together (meeting point yet to be decided, somewhere around Moorooka)

I am sure if any one else is leaving Bris around 9am Friday morning they would be more than welcome to travel with us https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

We will see you there Mick and co

Im tellin ya its getting mothballs at the moment, I swear even the grill is sloping down like :cry:.

long story short.... finally found a house (never thought this would ever happen) need to go to real estate on friday with bond (lots of $$$$) and moving in over the weekend.... ontop of this ever since tightening the hoses on the rangies fuel rail they have cracked and fuel is pretty much ****ing out of em half the time :cry:

So i got to move house and make sure I have enough $$$$ for Rick next week :cry:

After i have this thing running swet and all overhauled it will be for sale... so if anyone is interested shoot me a PM...

Crap another thing is rangie is booked to be enruite from jimboombah to gold coast on sat arvo via flat bed. more $$$.... :cry:

[dungarover]

No worries.

Only one thing, I will be travelling alone on the Friday arvo or Saturday morning, pending on how well I get the next plastering job up to scratch before the old man gets back 8O

At this stage, it'l be Friday arvo about 4PM or so (before dark as I hate putting up my gear in the dark :x :x :x ).

See you all there, ready for some carnage.....just kidding https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Trav

[FenianEel]

Ok folks,

There's good news and bad news from me. Depending on who you are / what you think - you can decide which is which!

We've gone from 7 down to 2 in our Disco 8O Myself and my son Daryl, are the only attendees. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ The teenage daughter has assignments, a couple of the littlies are a bit crook, and the missus is keeping them all home. The young fella D'arcy (3) may be a starter, but we'll see how well he is.

BAD POINTS
Won't get to play Land Rover families with all the others (sorry Noz, Hardy & folks with wives and little ones).
Children will miss a great fun weekend
Less children and wives to entertain other members childrens and wives

GOOD POINTS
Won't have to pack a 10th of the **** we normally do https://www.aulro.com/afvb/
Won't have to feed, clean, dress or shower anyone (hopefully https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ) all weekend
Won't have to worry about coming back to base too often
Won't have to worry about anyone but us
Won't have to worry about D'arcy (3) jumping on me at 5:30 am
Won't have to worry about much except keeping the vehicle upright
Won't have to worry about keeping myself upright :twisted:

[MickG]

Indeed some good and bad points there Matt, but either way I think it will be a top weekend. Looking forward to it but will be visiting the camping shop today to try and find some clever gadgets or pieces of ingenius clothing to keep my 8 month old and 2 year old warm during the night........any ideas anyone other than tons of blankets and hats?

Mick

[NOZ]

Coleman make a great heater and its ideal for inside tents as it has an very low flash point.

Almost bought one myself for this trip

I did wonder if there was such a thing. Off to Anaconda this morning and will hopefully grab one plus a few other bits and pieces.

Been camping all my life and have tons of gear for housing myself for a few nights, but needs change dramatically when you are going with young kids........especially when it is going to around 0 degress 8O

Cheers Noz and see you there, Mick

[dungarover]

Heater??? Jees, what's the bloody world coming to. For you married blokes that shouldn't be nessacary as you have the other half to keep you warm :oops:

Matt, you can do the single bloke thing on the weekend. Join the club. Now that the platering job that I was going to do isn't ready, might get off earlier than expected.

I hear you Trav and had it been me alone, there would not be a heater in sight.....didn't even know they had them for tents and I have camped all my life.......in Scotland 8O But as I have no intention of having my 2 year old & 8 month old sleeping in bed with me and my wife, I have to find a way of keeping their fragile little bodies above freezing...more so Charlie at 8 months as he has no way of shivering yet to keep himself warm. Plus my wife is no good for warmth as she turns into an icicle at the drop of a hat........and I mean that in the literal sense :wink: :roll: https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

[Hardy]

I was at Anaconda yesterday - did not buy anything.
They a have Bunnings style 10% + price guarantee.
Which means you pay through the nose - UNLESS you're a smarty parts and do your homework first you can get a great price on high ticket items.

Those Coleman catalytic heaters sound good.
I did not see any at Anacaonda but Downunder Camping at Salisbury have them - BLACKCAT $79, PROCAT $169. Plus I imangine you'd have to buy the Coleman catridge too. ($6or$7?)

Keeping little kids warm at night can be a nightmare - literally.

Just got the Coleman heater...nice little unit which would appear to throw a fair bit of heat. Went for the one without the fan in the end as the guy reckoned it could be quite noisy....plus it was an extra $70.

Ditto for Bolts sentiments.

Was a great weekend, good to finally meet the GCLRO boys (& wifes), and put faces to names and monikers.

Bit more driving would've been good, (as would a bit less whiskey and bit more traction control and ABS etc.) but I think most people will return.

Thanks for a great weekend folks, and the assistance with that *$%*^(^ abs probs (still not sorted) :evil:

Great craic, great time, can't wait for the next one.

I've started a Rover Park gallery in the trips gallery - please add to it. Will attempt a trip report and to finish Newsletter 14 this week too.

Looks like it was a great weekend had by all and a return trip should be not to far in the future!!!

It was great to meet all the new faces and to have a few clubs out and about together.
