Aust 4WD Destinations?

This hasn't been forgotten people.

The cogs are slowly turning (slower in some heads than others!)

We'll be looking for more input on templates and so on before we open the forums up.

Regards

Orchid Beach Bar - Fraser Island
Gutter Bar - Kooringal - Moreton Island
;)

Anyone who thinks they might have something to contribute (with content something along the lines of the template above - see post #19 by waynep ) pleae let us know.

Myself and redback will be moderating these forums and want to get it kicked off, but also want to maintain it as resource rather than a discussion forum, as such. At least thats the idea for now - we'll see how it goes.

All (polite) suggestions welcomed.

Cheers
Vlad

Maybe a template with the basic standard headings needs to be posted. Then we can cut and paste those and fill in as needed.

Take a look at ExploreOz site Treks section for some ideas on what to include as headings.

4WDing, Camping & Caravanning around Australia @ ExplorOz

For example this on for the Wedge Island Beach Run.

Wedge Island Beach Run @ ExplorOz

Important headings would be ;

Difficulty ( 1-5)

Start /finish location

Distance /Time needed

Description

Environment

Map

Driving Directions

Permits

Trek Feedback

Things to See & Do

Related Travel Journals

Preparation

Related Pages

Camp Sites & Accommodation

This would be an awsome resource that I am yet to see on the net. Only tonight I posted questions that would be answered by exactly that.

It's pretty similar to the ExplorOz one above, it is also similar to 4X4Earth too

So this is a template to look at, make some changes, is it good/bad, am I close:D

I am trying to keep it simple, not everyone is into file downloads and complicated track data and so on when doing family holidays, we also don't want a trip report type thing, so photos will be restricted to one maybe two, just to give people an idea of what it looks like and maybe the scenery of the area.

So pick away:D

Google maps or whereis directions or you own, you may have a book with the trek notes, give the book/road atlas details.
