I know this is not tech related and is a trip however as this is a Jeep only trip I feel it is not of value in the trips section and as such I have placed it in the Jeep section
Please feel free to lock it from further replys if you see fit.

We are looking at around 300 to 400 Klms with a mix of 2wheel drive and low range, between major fuel stops please consider the range of your vehicele and carry extra fuel as needed. If this becomes an issue please let the organisers know as we may be able to assist you solve this problem.
How can you get involved with this great weekend ??
Very simple, send and email to president@sydneyjeepclub.com request further information and provide your contact details.
All expressions of interest for this trip MUST be lodged before the 31st of August 2005.
How much does it cost ???
There is no entry fee or charges for this event, so the only cost is your own fuel, food and park entrance fees etc.
Do you have to be a member of a Jeep club to attend ??
No however.
If you are a member of another Jeep club we request you list it as an official interclub trip and register both with us and any registration process your club may have.
This is a Sydney Jeep Club trip.
What if I want to bring a friend who only has a newer DC made Jeep ??
They are welcome on the condition they are a guest of a registered "classic" jeep attending and they understand this weekend is aimed at older jeeps and the pace of the trip will be dictated by the slowest Jeep in the group. Also the chances of a breakdown are reasonable due to the age of many of these Jeeps, newer Jeep drivers have to understand the trip plans may change during the weekend based on making sure everyone who attends has a fun and safe time.
How hard will the 4x4 part be ??
It is not planned to be a difficult trip and is aimmed at C grade style trips, ie low range will be needed for some spots but a stock vehicle should be more than capable to cover the entire track
Track conditions can change with weather.
Explore OZ list it as 2.5 in difficulty level.
