In summary, we’ll have our AGM at the abandoned town of Luina on Saturday 8th February 2020 at 9:00 am. From there we will spread out to a range of locations in the area.
Any questions about the trip, please ask here on this thread.
What a major bummer, I was so looking forward to this but it being on regatta day and other functions on that day to I won’t be able to make it to this one. Hopefully the next trip wont be on conflicting dates. Miguel could you please send me a renewal for my membership for the family, thanks. Hope you have a blast and get some of that yellow.

Hi @Nettie I’m planning to drive over on Friday, and I’m sure there will be others. I’ll be leaving from Hobart in the afternoon, so I’ll get there late. Happy to drive in convoy if anyone is interested!
The suggested site for camping and the meeting is down the very last driveway on the right in Luina as you drive towards Corinna, about 550 m west of the Cleveland Mine turn-off. If you’re still on the road and you start climbing back up the hill past Luina, you’ve gone too far. If you’re driving from Corinna towards Waratah, it’s the first driveway on the left.
That’s great, we will be on the road with the caravan heading towards Waratah as we will be up north so will hopefully see you there ! We have noted what you say about going too far
Hi @Rangerman neither do I or quite a few members. It’s definitely worthwhile coming. We’ll end up doing a bit of walking, though, if that’s ok by you. It would be worth your while if it’s not too far for you just to meet some of us and see what the group is about, I’d say. Though if you live down south like I do, it’s a long drive just for a meet and greet!
Hi all
Is anyone available to pick up porta loo from coates hire at burnie on the friday im going down early thur but will pay for it as i go thru an it comes back to coates on the mon cheers ANDREW
Hi Nettie, it depends where you’re keen to go. I’ll probably head to McGinty’s creek which is 10 or so minutes from where you can park the car, and there’s a spot that might be accessible down to the Heazlewood River that should only be a few minutes walk.
There is also Roaring Mag Creek, only a few minutes walk from the car park at Heazlewood River Bridge.
