I'm not coming
Zook Gods said no.
Only doing local trips till sorted.

Changed the transfer case oil, it came out silver with lumps of metal in it.
May explain the noises I was attributing to other peoples cars
Can't fix that and fit locker in time, without doing a poor job of it.
So I will go back into garage mode for a bit.
(I have been to Wonnangatta and plenty of High Country in the 80's, so I will get over it
Have fun guys.

Daniel and Jodie (new potential members) expressed interest but no contact from them at this stage.

Unfortunately I will have to fly back from Sydney on Friday morning but will still get away from home by lunch time. Looking forward to a meal in the Dargo pub Friday evening.

I spoke to the motel to confirm my booking. All 4 of us are booked in OK.

Meals at the pub are between 6pm and 8pm. I should get there by 6pm. I land back in Melbourne at 10.30am and should be on the road by 1.00pm Friday

Both diesel and unleaded are available from the general store. The store closes at 6.30pm Friday and opens at 8.00am Saturday morning.

There is patchy Telstra mobile coverage in town but no Optus.

Wayne, if you need to contact us leave a message with the Dargo Motel on (03) 5140 1314. They will pass it on even on Saturday morning.

Hi Mike,
Thanks for organising another great trip with some spectacular views of the Victorian alps, and with some challenging ascents & descents!!! Thanks also to Louis & Suji, Tony & Wayne for the good company over the weekend. Special thanks to Tony for providing the 'communal kitchen and plenty of good humour. A trip not to be missed!!!!!
Arrived home at 4:45pm after a trip estimated to be 800km. Cheers Richard
