Attending Dave and Cindy – Toyota Prado Lin – Toyota FJ Richard and Naomi – Nissan Patrol Matt – Mitsi Pajero Wilco and the girls – Toyota under cover 100 series We planned an awesome night of movies, camp fire, home made popcorn with a bit of star gazing. We met up at The Lakes, coffee’d ourselves, a quick chat and then we headed off to the ultimate camp spot. With a couple turns here and there, we had arrived. After surveying the area, we all chose our camp site for the n

Participants: David J – Patrol; Shane -Triton; Bill and Christl - 76 series LC; Ivo - 76 series LC; Spence and Penny - 76 series LC This trip was meant to happen in May, but the ‘Rona stopped us. It also prevented us travelling the whole of the Connie Sue as the Aboriginal lands are still not accessible. The August trip was a compromise. The route took us half way up Connie, into Plumridge Lakes for a side trip , a few Km along Anne Beadell and then through to Laverton alo

Attendees Dave - prado Matt -Pajero Gary - L/C Rob - prado Well it started like this. The original trip got cancelled , but I wanted to go anyway. Weather reports showing that Sunday was a better day anyway. I was going. Rob contacted me. Said he was keen to go. Our chat eventually changed from fishing to Rob learning to make bread. “Right! You bring the dough, I will bring the Webber. Let’s bake on the beach.” Hearing that a trip was still on, Gary and Matt were able to

Another clean up for DBCA, this time on the west side of the Avon Valley in Moondyne country. A small concentrated pile of domestic rubbish (including furniture and white goods) had been found by DBCA rangers. We have magnificent bush land areas to the east of Perth and it is disappointing that there are people out there who would drive kilometres into the bush to dump rubbish, rather than pay to dump at any of the refuse disposal sites around Perth. As can be seen from the f

Back in March, Dave F organised a pre-winter trip down to Brunswick for some exploring and an overnighter for some. My work was a little too far away to make it back for this trip (Sean, Ed'), however the following images and videos from BM Prado Adventures and Simon's Adventures clearly show how much fun was missed. This is a great area to explore, and "just add water" only ramps up the fun factor! The enthusiastic group of "All Trackers" that attended include: Dave - Pra

Back in March, an enthusiastic group of club members led by our club President, assisted the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions, with a clean-up at Red Hill. Part of John Forrest National Park, it is close enough to Perth's eastern suburbs to get rubbish dumped by persons too inconsiderate of the environment to take waste to nearby refuse facilities. Two stories were published back on the 8th of March about this clean-up day. Since then, club members who

With our group together from here, we headed north up to Greenwood Coast Road, our access route into Breton Bay. The day was full of surprises including one tyr

As a conservation area, Red Hill as part of John Forrest National Park is usually off limits to 4WD's. As much as we are all saddened by the closures of such awesome 4WDing locations, it is also very easy to acknowledge why DBCA does gate off so many areas. The selfishness of a few to many, too tight in the hip pocket to pay a fee at the adjacent Red Hill Waste Management Facility, who dump rubbish in the National Park instead. Reason enough to be installing gates (everywhere

On Thursday the 30th, Roger Don and Jane went for a wander to see what they could find for the night time trip on the 2nd Feb'. What they discovered looks like fun!
