Attendees: Naomi & Richard – Pajero Matt B–Pajero Alex – 300 series Alek – Patrol Kyle – Patrol Russell & Caz – 79 Series Lin – FJ Jon K - Pajero With short notice we thought we’d get out to the huts to check on them before summer really hit and fire bans restricted our access. As only about half had been to the huts previously, we gave a bit of back ground; All Tracks have had an adoption agreement for two of the huts that are on the swan coastal walking trail for approx. 2.

What turned out to be a popular favourite on the AllTracks Trip Calender was the social golf day at Supa Golf in Henley Brook WA.

The fairways were in magnificent condition with well-cut greens and surrounded by beautiful bush and eucalypt trees plus the oc

The meeting point for this trip, and like the last trip, was at the Harvey Bakery. There is no better way to start a trip. Meat Pie, hot coffee and maybe a sweet something
