I am now no longer restricted by departure time. So, I intend to leave Kogarah (Rockdale) by 5:30 am to try and get me to the Zig Zag Railway car park at Clarence by 8am. As I said, I'll be on channel 25 for anyone who wants to listen, try and hail me as Griz. See you tomorrow !nondisclosed_email@example.com (Griz84)Fri, 19 Oct 2012 21:18:30 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067821,from=rss#post2067821https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067821,from=rss#post2067821Cheers Tony see u tomorrownondisclosed_email@example.com (ArthurV)Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:39:31 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067820,from=rss#post2067820https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067820,from=rss#post2067820Take food and drink Arthur.

Basically I'll take the turn off from the Castlereigh Hwy onto Wolgan Road, follow it up. I found on the map where the turn off to Blackfellows Hand Trail is, but I'm sure I'll be able to hail someone before then. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Griz84)Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:43:51 +0000 Re: Newnes State Forest/Ben Bullen Sat 20th October 2012https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067817,from=rss#post2067817https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067817,from=rss#post2067817Hi griz. Your best option is to head straight to Wolgan rd and find black fellows hand trail. approximately 800m from wolgan rd there is a clearing which is where we will be stopping for lunch. Meet u there around 11.30nondisclosed_email@example.com (Toddyh03)Fri, 19 Oct 2012 18:25:36 +0000 Re: Newnes State Forest/Ben Bullen Sat 20th October 2012https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067815,from=rss#post2067815https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067815,from=rss#post2067815Hi all, My son and I are going to head up tomorrow. But will arrive a bit late. We are going to leave Bondi Junction at 7:30am. Hope to be in general vicinity by 10:30 at the latest. Will be on Channel 25 and will be calling out by the name "Griz". I'm basically gonna turn right at Mount Victoria up Darling Causeway, then hang a left onto Bells Line of Road and keep going until I get to Clarance at the Zig Zag Railway carpark. If there is no one there, then I'll make my way to Wolgan Road. nondisclosed_email@example.com (Griz84)Fri, 19 Oct 2012 17:20:58 +0000 Re: Newnes State Forest/Ben Bullen Sat 20th October 2012https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067801,from=rss#post2067801https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067801,from=rss#post2067801Arthur, I won't be camping tonight and have advised Todd. My neighbour has returned from holidays earlier than expected and would love to come along so I will be leaving in the morning about 5.30am to 5.45am from Mac Fields. I will send you a PM with my phone number and we can arrange to meet up to travel together. I will travel via Bringelly Road and then onto Northern Road to the M4. Perhaps we can meet at Rossmore on the way? Anyway I will send PM. cheersnondisclosed_email@example.com (dlpeek)Fri, 19 Oct 2012 09:44:57 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067794,from=rss#post2067794https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067794,from=rss#post2067794Great thanks Dave, will wait to hear from you.

I will know sometime tomorrow morning if I'm camping out so will give you a call.......probably will. My wife isn't going on the outing but said she could get home a bit earlier so that I could get away by about 3.30pm. My mobile is with Telstra and I was led to believe that reception should be quite OK in the area?? Anyway, I'll give you a call around lunch time to confirm. Anyway I will use CH25 on my UHF. Arthur..........I will most probably be camping out Friday evening.....but if not I will let you know so we can arrange a meet up for early Saturday morning. cheersnondisclosed_email@example.com (dlpeek)Thu, 18 Oct 2012 21:56:35 +0000 Re: Newnes State Forest/Ben Bullen Sat 20th October 2012https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067781,from=rss#post2067781https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067781,from=rss#post2067781Tony, is Daniel confirmed yet?nondisclosed_email@example.com (Toddyh03)Thu, 18 Oct 2012 18:15:45 +0000 Re: Newnes State Forest/Ben Bullen Sat 20th October 2012https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067779,from=rss#post2067779https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2067779,from=rss#post2067779Hi Todd, we will most likely do the BBG trip, but may do the chicken run entry (as long as you can tell us where it is).
