National Parks - In Victorian national parks, you are generally not allowed to bring dogs or other pets, use drones, or drive vehicles off-signed roads. Other prohibitions include collecting firewood, lighting campfires outside of provided fireplaces, and interfering with park structures or natural elements. You should not feed or touch wildlife, litter, or leave waste behind, as this harms animals and their habitats. You should also avoid disturbing plants and rocks, stay on marked trails to prevent erosion, and respect cultural sites.

TRIP LEADER'S NAME: Simon Garraway ( 799 )
DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: Continued maintenance of the Jerico Cemetery and other points of interest within our allocated area, all of which is becoming easier each trip. Time permitting, we will include side trips to Matlock, Woods Point and a couple of mine sites, one of which rarely has visitors ... yes, a walk.... not difficult, just navigating a fallen tree, as always, your choice. Equipment like mowers, whipper snippers, hedge cutters, chain saw, cleaning equipment and fuel are supplied, all you need is PPE and enclosed footwear. Being a bush camp, you need to be self-sufficient in all aspects, there is no toilet. The campsite is good for all types of accommodations ranging from tents to reasonable clearance caravans. Most of the driving is easy, with magnificent views at times. A couple of moderate patches will find you in low range, but a standard Pajero has done it all. Those who have participated before, have always enjoyed the trip, learnt a lot and seen things in places and wondered how.
TRIP MEETING ADDRESS: Base Camp, near the corner of Walhalla / Woods Point Road and Victor Spur track, approx. 32klm's past Thompson Dam wall. Detailed maps and directions will be emailed to you, as the base camp is approx. 250 metres from the intersection

TRIP LEADER'S NAME: Damian De Rozairo 498
DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: This is the annual Eaglevale trip over the Australia day weekend. We will base camp at Eaglevale on the Wannagatta river near Dargo. I have been running trips to this area for several years and have a great camp spot for this trip. From here we will do some day trips on Saturday, Sunday and Monday. You will have the option to stay back and relax at camp or do the day trips. I plan on taking one of the day trips into the Wannagatta valley and the other up to the trig point on Blue Rag. This will be a bush camping weekend. It will be a good opportunity for members that are new to bush camping to try out their equipment and use it as a shake down trip. Its a good opportunity for anyone that has not been bush camping before to try it out and learn form the experience. I would be happy to help you plan for the trip, if needed. We will have plenty of time to relax by the river and the campfire at night. I will bring my Pizza oven for a pizza night too. This has always been a highlight of these trips.
