A 15 day round trip to the Flinders Ranges in September 2003

If you can join us for all or part of this trip, we will need to know at the July General Meeting night, along with a $100 deposit. There is a lot of booking to be done and if you don’t participate in the group booking there can be no guarantee of gaining access to camping sites later.
This is a rare opportunity to see some of the countries finest sights in the company of friends. All stops will be at powered caravan parks and camping areas. All roads will be 2 wheel drive accessible. A full map & Itinary package will be provided to participants before departure.
Lots of tours and sightseeing will be built into the journey. A sked on 80 metres will run every second night where we will be able send SSTV pics of the latest adventures to the members who cannot make it. (this is known as ‘rubbing salt into the wound’)
If you are unable to make the entire trip, then you may wish to join those meeting us at Wilpena Pound onwards for the second week. Alternately, you may wish to join us on the final two days at the Grampians, where we stay at the Halls Gap Caravan Park.
Contact Ian Jackson VK3BUF for details. Forward deposits to Valerie, our Club Treasurer. Make cheques payable to GGREC
