Sep Sat 25th-Mon 27th Balingup - Queens Birthday long weekend
Catherine and I will be heading to Balingup for the queens birthday weekend in September. Tracks may be muddy and steep but we’ll do our best to accommodate whatever vehicles come along. This will be a trip for members only although exceptions may be made if a visitor has a sufficiently capable vehicle and/or reasonable experience. We will be staying in a B & B but people are free to camp at Wrights Bridge if they prefer. More details will be published closer to the time. This trip will be cancelled unless we get 5 confirmed vehicles. I know it’s a long way off but please let us know if you’re interested ASAP as if there’s no interest we will change our plans as Balingup isn’t the sort of place you can 4WD on your own.
