Well Im not sure I could stand listening to land rover noises for hours on end, but does anyone need someone to keep them company.

And krawlr, are you trucking yours around?

Use the good cheap cabin acommodation at Pureora headquarters for a couple of nights pre the weekend (enquire at Doc Pureora -Ph 07 878 1080) and I'll come out and do some tracks with ya.

Looking at this option at the moment. enquiring about accomidation for 3-6 people initially.

Being on a long weekend it'll pay to try and finalise dates and a estimate of numbers soon. Long weekends draw alot of people to the Park (sometimes 2-3 4wd club groups, hunters, trampers etc) and so the cabin accomodation can fill up pretty quick !

Have you rung em Mike to see how many are currently available?

PS - Gidday Masiv, good to see ya on

Ok got my doc contact (flatmate) to check out the availability which is.

Cabins are available for the nights you want.
Small cabin is $24 fits two people
Large cabin is $48 fits six people.

So How many definites have we got? I'll book the 6 for sure. If we have more than 6 we kinda need to know soonish.
