I thought perhaps some of the SEQLD LOST fratenity might be interested in the following announcement that appeared on the Campertrailer Group forum today (I do not endorse this nor know anything else about it) :


HT is a project of the Rotary Club of Toowoomba East Foundation. We have
been running Tag alongs for the past 15 years.... traditionally we have run
"OUTBACK GETAWAY " bi-annually, which is a fully catered tag along that is
accompanied with a 4 piece band and support vehicles, and has auctions of
donated goods raising about $100,000 for various charities. This year the
club is running HT for the first time. It is a BYO Tag along that will have
Country Singers & Bush Poet entertainment, and vehicle support. We will have
a large mobile BBQ & a Wood Chuck Wagon providing fuel for the communal
campfire which will be the focal point at night. The adventure will have 3
two night stay's and 1 one nighter. (And at least 2 locations where an
evening meal can be arranged, together with Shearing Quarters type
accommodation. ) The trek will start at Toowoomba, go West of Tenterfield in
the Torrington State Recreation Area & then wind its way East through the
Ewinga State Forest, the Gilgurry State Forest, Yabra National Park, and the
Border ranges taking in some of the best scenery including that on private
properties, returning to Toowoomba following the head waters of the
Murray/Darling waterway in Qld. We will be staying at farm stays & a 4wd
park, and will radiate around those venues sightseeing & enjoying the
country-side highlights. Vehicles with low range will be able to transverse
all sections however those without (but with good clearance), will be
escorted through alternate routes as appropriate. Off-road campertrailers
are welcome but caravans will be unsuitable. The trip is being supported by
members of the Downs 4WD Club who will act as "Trek Marshalls" responsible
for route matters and safe conduct. The route is planned to be limited to
"Medium" classification as per Outdoor Sports & Recreation Competency
Standards. The Trek will be leisurely with "time to smell the roses"
averaging about 300k/day with a lay-day mid week with action contained, on
that day to canoeing, other river activities & Bird watching, or simply
relaxing by the Clarence River..

Monies raised are Tax Deductable* & will go to some of the many good causes
that Rotary supports. There are limited vacancies!.

*Subject to ATO approval pending.
