My dad lives in singleton so i wanted to catch up with him. I know the gates don't open till 10 and the people from the tuff truck commitee recon that it's good to get there thurs arv and join the cue early. I've done the trip plenty of times before and i was also thinking about hitting stockton beach on thursday. So thank you all for your concern. Cheers

Pardon my ignorance, this is my first time to TTC. It says on the schedule of events that main gates close at 8pm on Sunday night. Does that mean we all have to be off the property by then or can we stay til Monday?

Post by **MrsForby** » Tue Mar 20, 2007 8:13 am

Usually you can stay until Monday.

The owner of the propety is a nice guy and in past years has let people stay until monday, but I don't know what the "offical" word is on that.

Generally though everyone except for the organisers and competitors cant wait to get out of milbrodale heehehe.

no im joking it is all good.
and the owner is pretty relaxed, well i met some part of their family who was a pretty chilled customer.

Hi All,

Amy the other red has spoken to Len the local Brigade Capt.Â which has informed us that the Fire Restriction Has Been Lifted.
Â
This is offical. They are currently trying to put up a notice on the tuff truck website however internet connection is limited.

Thanks
James

Prob doesnt show it on the time table because its not a spectator stage. At least it hasnt been in previous years.

The website has been updated. Here is the full story.

---------------------------------------------

Lifted Restriction!!!!!

The area in and around Milbrodale/Broke/Bulga has recently received a large amount of rain. This rain has been consistent and proved to be quite beneficial to the area, as well as TTC07. The area is a sight to be seen, as the land is very green. Unfortunately what has been received is not drought breaking but does provide some welcome relief, especially for the local farmers and wineries.

As a result organisers of the Tough Dog Tuff Truck (TTC) have just held discussions with the local RFS Captain and TTC property owner to assess the situation of fire restrictions that are presently in place. The RFS Captain has local jurisdiction on state fire restrictions and has advised TTC organisers that conditions have eased enough to lift the present fire restrictions that are in place.

In discussion with the property owner on the fire situation, he conveyed concerns in regards to the still dry state of the property and what effect that this may have with allowing open fires at TTC07. In light of the property ownerâ€™s concerns TTC organisers have put arrangements into place with the property owner, which are over and above the now reduced fire restrictions so as to allow patrons to have campfires, of which the details are as follows:

-All campfires whether for cooking, lighting, social or other means are too be secluded and maintained in an area of no more than one (1) metre in diameter.

-Only wood along the lines of sticks or lengths of timber are permitted for the fuelling of fires. The use of large timber objects such as chairs, complete or partially complete pallets etc. will not be allowed. Patrons wishing to bring large timber objects will be required to leave them at the entry gate or alternatively have knocked down into individual pieces prior to arriving at TTC.

In previous years of TTC, organisers have provided cut timber for Tuff Truck goers to use in fires. However, for this yearâ€™s event it was anticipated (until now) that the conditions would be much drier and very dangerous to permit open fires. So as a subsequent result organisers have not cut a stock pile of wood and time at present would not allow us to do so. The property does lend itself well to a good supply of timber for fuelling a fire and can easily be gathered.

So in summary, open fires are now permitted in an area of 1x metre in diameter. The property does have a good supply of timber which can easily be gathered, however patrons are permitted to bring their own supply of wood as long as it is just timber pieces and not large wooden objects such as chairs, pallets or whole trees etc.

Why did it make it too challenging for your zook to drive on??

painting rights should be on a per crowd member basis...
when your buggy is there you can paint 1cm of paint.

Wayne, do you think they will believe you if you said those 20 pallets on the back of my ute are for stability for the drive so the ute doesnt get too light in the back???

although you did say no ute this year... drats!

a 1 metre fire is fine, we will haev bulk lights it sounds like!!
and if you were to place another 1m fire close to the other 1 m fire it would be all peachey.

The fire drum in my back yard is abit too rusty to take up there
