  TRIP LEADER'S NAME:   Barry Walker   (  652 )

  DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: This trip is suitable for all members, you might have missed out on the Muster like myself, so I am going to spend a couple of days at the block. This trip is very flexible relaxed trip, you can come for the 3 days or just for a day trip. I am hoping to be at the block early on the Friday (about11am-ish), so when you arrive the gate will look locked but is not, after you enter, please close the gate again. There will be plenty of room for camping and we will have the hot water unit operating each night for showers, all being well. We can have a campfire for cooking and sitting around. We will need to cut some firewood. If you want to take some firewood home bring a trailer. If you want to bring a dog, please let me know and we can discuss the options. (Phone number below)
  We will most likely go out for a scenic drive at least one afternoon.
  I will have a copy of the map of the block with all the tracks listed. If you need directions to the block just let me know.
  Trip will finish on the Sunday about lunch time.

  Mechanical Awareness course will be a two full days of theory and practical.

  Would you like to be able to do simple mechanical repairs with a degree of understanding that you have not experienced before. Know that the parts you are spending your money on are actually needed and are being fitted to the car. Then come and participate in our mechanical awareness course.

  Topics covered will be basic operation of your vehicle to give you a better understanding of how it all works; this can lead to you being able to tackle simple maintenance and repair tasks yourself e.g.

  Tool identification and use, brake pad changing, oil and filter & other service items, minor electrical work are just some of the tasks you will be able to perform at the completion of the course. There is also a large amount of practical training not just theory involved in the course and in a lot of cases you will be able to perform work on your own vehicle. All cars will be placed on the hoist for you to have a better understanding of what is going on under the vehicle

                Land Care - Rotary - Pajero club 
  

  TRIP LEADER'S NAME: Fred Farrugia (433)

  DESCRIPTION/LOCATION: As part of this joint Land Care -Rotary-Pajero Club Tree Planting Program which is now in its 30th year to help reduce "the salinity problem" in the Goulburn/Murray River system by planting trees and increasing the areas capacity to recover the biodiversity and to restart the natural cycle in this area. The Native trees and shrubs are propagated from locally collected seeds in the Glenaroua district. the trees are planted by Land Management and other community groups.
  Our club is one of its strongest members. We not only assist with the preparation of the tree guards and the tree planting, also assist in the transportation of the participants to the planting site and return them back to a base and assist in the distribution of plants and tools.
  This has been a long-term program by SWG Landcare across the whole district for many years.
  A corridor link of approximately 2.5km long will be created as it grows and will create a ‘stepping stone’ across the landscape, which is critical habitat for species trying to move safely from one area to another.
  It will add much needed food source and shelter to native species and it will create a windbreak and shade for the sheep & cattle that the farmers grow; from the outside they can move around to gain shelter.
  This project Is bringing landholders into Landcare projects – which usually means they will do more works in the future as they see the overall benefits to their property and for their stock. It’s amazing how many landowners are affected by seeing such things as birds they have never seen before and this helps push them to do more environmental works.
  Salinity and erosion control – will especially assist where erosion is present, signs of salinity leaching out of the creek during periods of wet weather.
  The community comradery cannot be understated with this long term project between all the parties – it’s very much looked forward too by many parties on the weekend, and especially the Pajero club's presence for their experience in the tree planting project and for the assistance of transportation of participants, plants and to and from the site.
  The main transportation and planting day will be on the Sunday the 29th of June, on the property of Tim & Penny Reeve at 735 Daisyburn Rd. Hilldene.
  Saturday 28th of June is when all the preparation of the plants, guards, sorting of the trees, placing them on site, and if time permits we will begin planting on Saturday afternoon as we did last year. The preparation will take place at the Glenaroua CFA Station at 1305 Broadford-Glenaroua Rd. Glenaroua.
  Our members are also asked to join in these preparations on the Saturday.
  Last Year’s owners have again extended an invitation and is offering their modern Shearers shed with accommodation. (The facility is located at 915 Broadford-Glenaroua Rd Glenaroua and will be available from Friday afternoon for those wanting to set up for the Weekend). There are 4 rooms, Kitchen facilities, bathroom and modern toilets. Basically, two persons per room. The shearers shed area also has a large flat grassed area it will accommodate several vans campers, Swags etc. Vans and Campers to be fully self-contained and have own power. Check with me for availability. For the Saturday attendees, if you are able, tree preparation will commence from 9.30am at the Glenaroua CFA Fire Station (1305 Broadford-Glenaroua Rd, Glenaroua. A light morning tea and lunch will be provided for both Saturday & Sunday. In the evening no plans have been made at this stage.
  Please let me know if you would like to book a room, or set up camper tents Etc.
  Landcare provide the specialised equipment for this planting weekend activity, so there is no requirement to bring any tools or equipment, but you will need to bring strong footwear, gardening gloves, warm clothing and rainwear in case of inclement weather. Planting activities will conclude around lunch time and will be followed by BBQ Lunch provided by the local Rotary Club.
  The Pajero Club over the past 26 years have been an integral part of the success of this plan coming to realisation. This is a great day where members and the families and friends can come along and be part of a very thankful local community.
  The planting Activity requires Teams of 3 or 4
  1 Planting
  1 or 2 Placing & sinking Tree Guards
  1 Supporting Tube guards, Stakes etc.
  Duties to be rotated between the team
  We need commitment, as without our transport and more importantly planting assistance this event cannot proceed. There is no limit to the number of members & friends you want to bring.
  Medical envelopes. Only one required. Please hand to Barry Walker on the Day as he is the registrar. Thanks Fred Farrugia
