Greeting fellow Kedroners.

Just had to drop a few lines about our last weekend on Land Cruiser Mountain Park 16/01.09.

For those that are not familiar LCMP is a large cattle property devoted also to the FWD enthusiast with about 200kms of off road tracks with varying degrees of difficulty from tame to insane. Check out the attached map.

We were invited to have the weekend there by Rod's work colleagues and enthusiastically agreed as it was 2000 the last time that were there with a new Nissan Patrol with only 500kms on the clock and a large tent with heaps of enthusiasm.

This time was with the Landcruiser with ARB suspension mods and AMMS 3" exhaust and the 16'6 XC with heaps of enthusiasm.

At least now there are hot showers and flush toilets in the good camp areas. The place was all but deserted for this weekend so finding a prime camp spot was not difficult.

What a great weekend although it was expensive with the park fees ($101 for Friday Saturday and check out lateish Sunday and a new tire on the van as we staked one on the way in groan). Gotta watch those tire pressures still had road pressure, which invited disaster and found it.

For those of you with Dunlop AT2’s keep em rotated as they are now obsolete and we just got the last one in Queensland. Ours came with the 2005 vintage XC.

We purchased a $5 bag of wood on the way there to compliment our normal drawbar stocks as we had heard that it was scarce for collection on site.

Not so. On the Friday that we arrived we found logs a plenty although we had to chain drag one for a couple of K's back to camp through two creek crossings before parking it across the fire grin.

It dried out just fine and lasted the whole weekend, providing coals aplenty for the extended fivesies, camp oven and the Milo and sultana dampers for the dozen or so kids that were there.(Mavis is a dab hand assisting kids with the Milo and sultana damper making).

Must sign off now hope you are all well and happy with your lot. :thumbsup:

Regards.

Rod and Mavis.
