poulter river trip now MONDAY

Post by Dunga »

Ok people,
Due to probable dodgy weather and high rivers, we have decided to postpone this trip till monday. we will be meeting at the same time (8.45am), and meeting at the same place(yaldhurst pub carpark).
Sorry if this inconveniences anyone, but because this trip might possibly involve crossing rivers i thought it better to er on the side of caution, and hey at least mondays a holiday, right?? :D :D

The stream (Mount Brown Stream) is the boundary of Arthurs Park National Park, and the road from that point is not a public road, thus no, motorised vehicle or horse acces allowed. (that is by way of the National Park Act) If you had a look at the signs by the gate it make the point about no vehicle access.
