Well, I thought it better to start a new thread for the 2018 Simpson Trip as the planning that Peter started has changed considerably.
Again like always, we start with a plan and timings and try to work with these but sights to see, road conditions and that perfect camp site and turn everything upside down.
The rough plan is a trip departing Fraser Island on 21 May and returning to Brisbane sometime around 15-16 June.
Don't rule the trip out if you haven't got 4 weeks off. This is a trip that still has a lot of planning and even as it stands at the moment there are points where you can meet up or jump off.
Without working out how many days from here to there. The current plan is leave Fraser and travel to Longreach to Boulia cross into the Northern Territory on the Donohue/Plenty Highway. Travel the Hay River Track to Poeppel Corner then East/West across the Simpson on the French Line to Mt Dare. Onwards from Mt Dare and cross West East on the Madigan's Route to Birdsville.
What we know. We would like to spend about 14 days in the desert. It will be extremely remote with up to 1000 kilometres between fuel, food and water.
We need permits for Hay River Track (2017 $200 and $20 camp fee at Batton Hill, mandatory camp), Desert Parks Pass ($160) and Madigan Line (CLC permit, no charge).
We are lucky enough to have communication with somebody that had travelled these more remote tracks and lots of advice is being sought and provided.
Like all out trips into the desert there is explicitly NO trailers.
If you interested in this trip,, please reply here. Even if you're unsure you can make it, you're welcome to have input.
There is a lot of planning to be done and as such we would like to have a team meeting to discuss what everybody would like to get out of a trip like this. The meeting will take place sometime in October or November.
Confirmed travellers are:
Darryl
Peter
Kris
Victor ?
Clint

Ladies and Gents
BOOKINGS FOR DINNER ARE NOW CLOSED. MEAT, SAUSAGES AND BREAD ROLLS HAVE BEEN ORDERED. Thanks to Kris and Elizbeth.
AGM at the Moorooka hall at 7.30pm on 9 August 2017.
At last night's not meeting, the not committee decided that this year dinner for the evening will be steak, sausages, fried onion, bread rolls, coleslaw and potato salad. The plan is Kris will buy the tucker, bring the BBQ and hopefully we will get the BBQ underway around 6.30pm. We hope to have the tucker on the table just after 7.00pm.
What we really need to know is are you coming and how many are you? We don't want to buy too much or too little. Let us know by no later than Friday 4 August 2017.
Hopefully there will be a video and photo presentation of the desert trip, don't miss this!!!
Discussion on the Xmas party, time to lock in the location.
Most importanty, all positions will be declared vacant and maybe we will see some new faces on the committee.
We are feeding:
Darryl x 1
Doc x 1
Les x 1
Kris x 2
Johnny x 1
Steve x 1
Victor x 1
PeteR x 1

Speaking with Paul today. As discussed at the last meeting, there won't be a meeting this week, however a few will still be there from about 6.30pm to 7.30pm. Remember there is a game of footy on. We can still discuss upcoming trips, Xmas and anything that we feel like.
Also most important is that we start to turn our mind to the AGM we can work out what we do food wise and discuss any positions that people may be looking at nominating for. I'm sure there are a few of the committee that want/deserve a break. Being a small club those that turn up on Wednesday can make a decision as to what food and drink we have.
A quick reminder that membership fees are now due $70 for the year.
See some of you there.

Well after a conversation with Kris about the Cape a few weeks ago I found myself doing some trip planning. As such with permission to travel I am keen to go again. Express you interest here as from previous experience the sooner you start planning and the further out the more enjoyable the trip will be.
When will we go, just have to be between May and September. What will we see, well that is still to be decided, about the only thing that would be set is 4 weeks Brisbane to Brisbane. If your interested let us know here. Most importantly start advising on the places that you want to see, 4 weeks is not that long but most things can be done.
Even if you not coming and know of some iconic places, don't hold back.
