G'day Damo. Mark in his Prado, Kester in his troopy and me in my Sierra will be there mid afternoon. I'd really appreciate if you could secure sites for us. Thanks. Brenton.
Re: Big River State Forest. April 29.

Re: Big River State Forest. April 29.
Hi Wayne. What is the planned route. If I met up at the meeting point on Sunday morning and left my car there will we be coming back that way? I don't want to take it on the trip when I know it has some rear axle bearing issues. At least no further than the RACV are prepared to go until it is fixed.
Hi Damien. Last time I took a land rover into that area I rolled it so my Discovery 4 is never going to see the High Country especially the slippery tracks around Eildon. The Disco is strictly set up for outback touring trips.

Re: Big River State Forest. April 29.
I believe Reids creek and Reid's quarry camp are the same. I don't know the area either though so I guess we'll find out when we get there. There are a number of different camp grounds.

Hi Fellas.
I have checked out Rieds Quarry Camp today. It looks like a good camp, it has a long drop and has been left clean by the last campers who used it.
But it looks like it gets a lot of use. If you can get there first it would be ideal. It is sign posted as Rieds Quarry Camp.
There are other good camps along the river. Stockmans Reward and Frenchmans Creek. But they are a few miles further on.
Across the road from Big River camp is Married Mens Camp. It could be worth a look too.
Mike, we will be coming back the same way. So you can leave your car at Big River Camp. No Problem.
Found some more beaut tracks today too.
