TRAX 4WD Fellowship

Details: Saturday 25th March 2017 TRAX Trip – Meryla SF – looking for a WW2 plane wreck

G’day,

This is the postponed February trip and hopefully recced on the 18th March. I was looking at doing a trip down south and found there is a WW2 plane wreck in Meryla State Forest. So this trip will be a reconnaissance trip to find the wreck and search the area for some good tracks.
A recce means nothing is planned. I have only done an internet search and advise you to do your own research and look at some maps.

Trip Leader:- Phillip Favaloro  email trips@trax.org.au  or Phone 9875 2159
Grade not sure, hopefully moderate

An  email will be sent to those attending with meeting time and location.

You will need a full tank of fuel, UHF radio (Channel 13), recovery equipment (hopefully you will not need it), food and camera – pictures needed for TRAXION.

See you on the tracks

Details: Saturday 4th March 2017 TRAX – Clean Up Australia Day

G’day,

Come and Clean up Australia with TRAX.

“Australia has one of the best natural landscapes in the world.

From our pristine beaches, ancient forests and flourishing sealife, we have some of the most unique flora and fauna.

But the rubbish we create through mass consumption is choking our streets, beaches, parks, bushland and waterways. And along the way it’s killing one of our best assets : nature.

We are all part of the problem – but YOU can also be part of the solution.”
from Clean up Australia website

Venue:  Olney State Forest
Trip Grade: Moderate
Trip Leader:   Greg Paterson

What to bring:   Sustenance for the day, gloves, hat, closed shoes/boots (NO sandals, thongs allowed),  rake ,  shovel.

Clean up Australia will supply 20 bags for rubbish

We will be meeting at the Berowra Truck rest stop at 8.30 for 8.45 sharp departure.  If you are late sorry, we wont wait and only those who have registered via “count me in” will be permitted on the trip

Here’s the opportunity for those who appreciate our bushland  to help keep it pristine.

Looking forward to seeing you for a great day of  fun and fellowship.

We will finish  clean up at 5 pm if not before  depending on how hard you work.

You will need a full tank of fuel, UHF radio (Channel 13), recovery equipment (you should always have it in your vehicle), food and camera – pictures needed for TRAXION.

Details: Saturday 25th  & Sunday 26th February 2017 TRAX Trip – A Day with Banjo in Yeoval

G’day,

We are going to spend ” A Day with Banjo in Yeoval”.
This is the annual Banjo Paterson – Australian Poetry Festival.

Orange and its surrounding region celebrate the Banjo Paterson Australian Poetry Festival in February every year. Andrew Barton (Banjo) Paterson was born at ‘Narrambla’ Orange on 17 February 1864. Banjo is an Australian legend. He lived in Yeoval until he was about 7. This festival highlights not only Banjo Paterson but is an opportunity to celebrate all Australian Poetry and Poets in general.

This is a  weekend trip, so book in early as it could be crowded.

Go to  https://brandorange.com.au/orange-nsw/banjo-paterson-festival/
then choose Events, then Banjo Paterson Festival.

You will need a full tank of fuel, UHF radio (Channel 13), recovery equipment (well you should always be prepared), food – enough for the weekend, camping gear – unless you are roughing it in a motel and camera – pictures needed for TRAXION.

Details: Saturday 11th February 2017 TRAX Trip – Recce to find a downed WW2 Plane in Meryla SF

G’day,

This started out as a place holder for a trip and nothing was organised. I was looking at doing a trip down south and found there is a WW2 plane wreck in Meryla State Forest. So this trip will be a reconnaissance trip to find the wreck and search the area for some good tracks.
A recce means nothing is planned. I have only done an internet search and advise you to do your own research and look at some maps.

You may be surprised to recognise some of the diverse array of commercial items manufactured by the factory during the lean times.” from http://www.lithgowsafmuseum.org.au/
