I will be arriving from a different direction than most of you to Beaudesert as I have found a dirt road that takes me towards Beaudesert and is a lot of fun and keeps me away from the highway for that little bit longer. So you all should have my number if anything goes wrong and I will check this before bed tonight and in the morning before I leave.

It's about 1.5 hours for you guys from Beaudesert? It's about 3 hours for us from Lismore. 10am sound ok? Also I saw Mel last night at the club. I mentioned that John could come with us if he wanted. Waiting for his call if he is interested.

I do know that most places will not take dogs and as for your car being standard I have covered this with another person in this thread and it will be fine for you and if you think you can not do it then don't attempt it. Hope this helps you.

Are dogs allowed? - Both in the 4wd area and/or camping places? The car is standard, just off the showroom floor but maybe the course is designed for that.  I don't have snatch gear, or communication, but do have towing chains and the dog barks loudly on command and can find the car if I have lost it...... "Peter - Find Car ! " > obviously very useful. Edit - So : will the car and I (and dog) survive this course despite being almost completely unprepared? nondisclosed_email@example.com (DogTrail)Sat, 09 Jun 2012 00:46:12 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063140,from=rss#post2063140https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2063140,from=rss#post2063140Good stuff.

We'll not leave you behind. 14 rivers crossing is mostly easy going so definitely can be done. It'll be good for a newbie.
