| Dec | Sat 7 – Mon 9th |  Kalbarri / Lucky Bay 3 day tripLooking to drive up to Kalbarri Saturday, returning home Monday. Only plans at this point, fishing, swimming and dining at Finlays. Apart from that, who knows, maybe just relax, open a beer and listen to some music. Hopefully we’ll be able to camp at Lucky Bay. I say hopefully as it’s first in best dressed but there is a lot of space. I think it’s $15 per night kind of deal I’m not 100% sure so bring some cash for the ranger. It’s a shakedown trip for my new Prado 250! Members only. Difficulty: *** Endurance: *** Trip leader: TC | Attending: TC, Skip, |
