Jamie: Can you please let me know the final number of participants/vehicles in your event (was it 5 or 6) and I will arrange to have $25 or $30 transferred to your account straight away.nondisclosed_email@example.com (jalalski)Tue, 30 Jan 2007 08:58:12 +0000 Re: Expressions of interest - Queensland Tag-A-Long Tourhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1997016,from=rss#post1997016https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1997016,from=rss#post1997016Hey guys, I just received confirmation of payment from the tour operators and a special request. Bob & Marian wrote quote:Hi Jamie, Thank you for that. It should be a great weekend.   We have access to a property that has an old smelter chimney on it. The owners have a restoration fund happening and asking for individual donations. We ask that perhaps a $5 donation from each vehicle on the day be put towards the restoration fund. The Tenterfield historical society said they will match $ for $ with all donations made. Hoping every one will be able to help as it is definitely worth preserving.   Look forward to meeting with you all Cheers Bob and Marian A worthy cause I think, I just thought it was better to prepare you instead of hitting you with it on the day.nondisclosed_email@example.com (BlackThunda)Tue, 30 Jan 2007 07:48:45 +0000 Re: Expressions of interest - Queensland Tag-A-Long Tourhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1997010,from=rss#post1997010https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1997010,from=rss#post1997010Hey guys, I have booked into the Granite Court Motel at Stanthorpe for the Friday night.

Take the Stanthorpe exit off the new England H/way & find the information center at the southern end of town. From the north go through the main st then continue across the bridge & the info center is first st on the left (Leslie pde) at the corner. From the south it is just as you approach the bridge on the right. There is a large park with a lagoon & amenities so you can't miss it.   Tour will conclude at Tenterfield 3 + hrs to Brisbane.   Fuel - Top up at Stanthorpe so please plan to arrive with time to do this. No fuel should be needed until the end of trip at Tenterfield.   Water - Bring drinking water only for the two days.   Food - you will need breakfast Sunday plus two lunches & any munchies etc   Clothes - The days should be pleasant, however it is possible to experience cool nights in this part of the world so bring something just in case.Bring wet weather gear. Snakes are very active this year so please wear covered foot wear, preferably something that you can stand getting dirty/ maybe even muddy.   Weather/conditions. - This area has had reasonable rain so things are looking green. Any rain during or just prior to the trip will ensure muddy & slippery conditions in a couple of spots so there will be some options used if this is the case. This is high plateau country with wetlands & some dense forest with leeches that will come out when the ground is wet so please check your boots etc regularly & keep an eye on the kids. We will provide some repellent   Camp site - You will need basic sleeping arrangements only. tent & mattress / sleeping bags ? Flush toilets, hot showers, shelter & camp kitchen are available.   We look forward to meeting you   cheers   Bob & Marian If you have any questions or concerns, please voice them now so that I have plenty of time to raise them with Bob or Marian. I will probably drive to Stanthorpe on Friday night and get a room so I don't have to drive the 2 or so hours in the morning as I will have the two boys with me. If anyone else is planning this, maybe we can get together for a nightcap. Still room for a couple more if anyone is interested?????   nondisclosed_email@example.com (BlackThunda)Tue, 23 Jan 2007 17:10:03 +0000 Re: Expressions of interest - Queensland Tag-A-Long Tourhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1996568,from=rss#post1996568https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1996568,from=rss#post1996568Hi guys, still waiting on payment from Carolyn and Justin, only a week to go before money is due.

I didn't have too much trouble with the factory tyres when I first started going bush. There is no mistaking the difference with a good tyre of course but I never had any real trouble. Mostly driver skill anyway that got me in trouble. The good thing with this is that there are other Exy drivers to help and an experienced 4wd instructor to give some handy hints along the way. I will be collecting money in early January for this so I can make payment to the company by mid/late January. Drivers confirmed BlackThunda (Jamie) Tony0 (Tony) Carolyn929 (Carolyn) MGF50 (Des) BigRig (Justin) Drivers maybe raw70 (???) BlueBunyip (Keith) I will email or PM my bank details for payment so that it will be easy for paying. If anyone can not make payment this way, I can send address and you can mail a bank cheque. This will be due by probably 13th January as I will be away for a week so would like to tidy this up before going away. Don't forget to check your insurance company for coverage during this event.

I'd really love to be there learning 4x4ing tips while driving through some of the most beautiful areas in the country. Problem for me is that I am taking my Exy to Rainbow Beach/Fraser for four days in the first week of February. I don't think the wife would be too keen to see me gone for another long weekend - especially with a one and two year old at home. Have fun with this because I recon you'll have a ball! Danny Just out of interest, if any other Exy owners are at Rainbow/Double Island Point/Faser Island on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th of February 2007 PM me and we could catch up.nondisclosed_email@example.com (AussieMINI)Mon, 18 Dec 2006 08:36:12 +0000 Re: Expressions of interest - Queensland Tag-A-Long Tourhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1995595,from=rss#post1995595https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1995595,from=rss#post1995595Hi Jamie, I will be in as well - Ainsley and I will go and Mum and Bub will stay home.

This is about 9.5 hours up the New England HWY from Orange, just near the border of QLD/NSW Happy to see you come along if your up this way, it should be 2 days of good off roading with an experienced guide and 4wd expert. In fact, happy to see any Xxy driver if they are up (or down) this way, only limited to 10 max so plenty of spaces left.   nondisclosed_email@example.com (BlackThunda)Fri, 01 Dec 2006 23:55:21 +0000 Re: Expressions of interest - Queensland Tag-A-Long Tourhttps://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1995381,from=rss#post1995381https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p1995381,from=rss#post1995381Jamie,  I must have missed something, but where is it being staged.
