East Gippy future meets... Listen up!

[Duane Pipe]

I know a bloke/friend/associate that I haven't seen for a few years that owns a Property named Beardmore's
Its over the Thompson dam wall and can be accessed in a 2wd. Jase might know where I mean

Have a look at his Huts, top notch I recon



This is overlooking the Thompson Catchment with Baw Baw in the back ground





Malcolm Johnson is his name and he owned a Trail riding business But I cant bloody remember its name.
He was featured on Getaway around 8 years ago I helped him spray the black berries on his block and a whole lot more I also looked after his Horses during overnight stop overs as far as Dargo... He paid me with friendship and VB He is a top Bloke..
I recon if a few of us got together and cut a couple of trailer loads of firewood would be enough to please him.

I think it would be a good weekend meet for those that have to travel.

Heaps of wild life to shoot. Samba Deer to Scorpions. I was Honked one day by a big Samber stag that was over the boundary fence about 30ft away and at a guise it would have been around a 30" rack It scared the sit out of me

[Duane Pipe]

Here it is on google earth.
He dose lease it out to campers so we would have to let him know when and if we have a meet there.
like I said he is a top bloke and would probably let us stay for a trailer load of firewood, thats not too hard
I like the idea and would like some feedback from other members and there thoughts. It is a fair distance for Geoff and Andrew but worth it for a weekend away I recon.

This place looks sensational..... if you ever arrange a multi night stay I'm definitely keen to travel, a tad too far for an overnighter for me.

Bit far for a overnighter for you for sure Cap. I added you to my contacts so if something is organized I will let you know. Cheers Dave

Great idea Dave looks like the great spot. It would be good if we can get a few people/families there.

[I @ M]

Looks like an excellent place for a social get together ---- in Summer when firewood isn't needed.

[Duane Pipe]

It a great spot Jase and Andrew and very chilly in winter. We could be lazy buggers Andrew and slip him some cash but I still would like to supply him with some wood, especially if we use his. Just a thought. Do you need a permit to cut firewood for camping, I know that I have never had one..

[William]

If it's laying on the ground , It's fair game Dave, Well thats my rule

[Duane Pipe]

Sounds good to me Bill I would hate to be find for a load of wood cut for camping though, I must find out.
I drank in the local/Rawson bub for over 10 years bill so I knew all the rangers the local cop and the board of works blokes and i could get get away with murder but most of them have moved on.
