This is currently not an LRC trip, but it is highly recommended that the club gets involved by having a stall for a display and to to answer membership enquiries.

We will discuss LRC participation at the next Ordinary Meeting.

Travel with Can and his son Deniz Ercan to Mungo National Park to explore and photograph this World Heritage Area. With the usual meeting place closed due to roadworks, we will meet at the Yass Service Centre at 8:30 am on Saturday 1 October.

Saturday night stopover at Hay or Balranald (details TBA) on the way there. Fuel up at Balranald.

Camp at the Belah Campground for 3 nights beginning Sunday 2 October.

Daily activities are by negotiation, with options to take short (commercial) tours, go on scenic drives and walks or just relax around the campsite.

Return home with the Ercans over 3 days, stopping over at Lake Paika and Darlington Point Caravan Park on the way back. Alternatively, stay a little longer and make your own way home.

We are planning to have an LRC promotion stand at the Cooma MotorFest. This will be similar to what we used to do at the 4WD Spectacular, but on a far smaller scale.

The MotorFest gives us an opportunity to put a limited number of Club vehicles on display to a broad range of car enthusiasts and to promote our Club. We will have our twenty odd year old Defender there, and it would be great to have at least an early Series vehicle plus a modern vehicle (any brand) there as well. To be placed together, all the vehicles will need to be registered with the MotorFest for entry and we will need to enter the Cooma Showground all together. Please see the Trip Meeting Place and Anything Else sections below for details.

While only three or so vehicles are adequate for the LRC display and promotion, and a limit of five vehicles has been set, all Club members are welcome to drop in through the day to enjoy the activities, and you will be welcome at the LRC stand.

The Southern Tablelands 4WD Club (ST4WDC) is inviting members of the ACT Land Rover Club to a Bush Skills event.

The event will be held at the property Talooge, 11th – 14th November 2022.

It is primarily a social weekend for clubs in the local region to meet up and enjoy a relaxing few days around the campfire. We are inviting several clubs to come out and camp (BYO everything including water) or enjoy a day trip out to the property.

There will be some camping, cooking, vehicle setup and recovery demonstrations. Day drives around the property will also be run. You would also be welcome to put together a presentation or workshop as well.

There is no limit on numbers as they have a large property with multiple camp sites.

The trip is off road camper trailer friendly with access roads suitable for trailers up to 16 feet in length.

Facilities include a toilet block, a covered space for eating, and a large fire pit.

The property is approximately 45 mins north east of Bredbo.  A map and detailed directions wil be provided to those that register.

If you are interested in attending please RSVP so we can let the Southern Tablelands 4WD Club know of numbers to expect.

We require someone to act as trip leader for this trip.  Please consider putting your hand up for this role.
