Hi Al
If you stay at the hut,Please don't let anyone do donuts on Kens paddock. It has happened before and we came close to losing access across the land. Ken was not impressed to say the least.
We did a return trip with Jaffa, Andy Jackson, Steve and Marc Crackett and myself. It took about 5 hrs. This included Marc breaking a CV and Jaffa having a play on the rocks.
Cheers Richard

I'd be keen to fill a pass. seat for this, provided my wife is no longer pregnant by the weekend.
Her rule not mine.

Wife is due 15th Sept. Really don't think I'll be free, but If bubs is here by then, she says I can go. She is a good wife

My passenger seat is already filled with Pomie Rick. Thought peiople would jump at this opportunity. Got to get my lokka fixed anyways or this won't be happening.

Would be a great trip to do.
Have only done a wee bit of exploring along easy tracks up that way.
If only I wasn't working that weekend
and my truck was up to it.

Get her fed up on curries. Dont ask me how, but it seems to work sometimes...

Re: Chasm track September 11 and 12
Everyone I've asked to fill the passenger seat in the buggy has said they're busy.
Hey, no heater, no doors, windows. You'll get cold, wet. But who gives a fark. You'll have fun.

You are lucky that you didn't do the track when it was a lot harder otherwise you still might still be in there.
Most people do it in 2-3 hrs now.
