Go south! (life is peaceful there...)

Hi Everyone.

As promised, here are maps and a description.

Theres no drinking water at meroo so you'll want to bring your own.
Also, looks like theres a fire ban again - so if you're going to cook, bring your gas stove.

Ok Lets start...

Go south.
past wollongong
past nowra
Into Ulladulla. This is pretty much your last decent place to shop and stock up. so go nuts.
Then..... go south.



Go past Burril lake and lake tabourie and look out for a little creek crossing which is called Termeil Creek (I think)
You're getting pretty close now.
Slow down... the turn off is easy to miss. it ducks back from the main road behind a big tree on the left.



1. Termeil Creek (slow down here)

2. The tricky turn off. Keep an eye out. (CAUTION : This is a dirt road but is pretty good. Beware the turn offs further south as they will kill your car. As some hapless campers found out 2 years ago.)

3. There is a fork in the road. Take the right fork. This leads to...

4. The Carpark. Yay. Park where you can. Its likely to be packed - but don't fret theres plenty of room.

From this point on its just a matter of finding everyone. Head down to the beach and walk the path up onto the headland. I think everyone is planning on camping on the headland. Its nice and shady. I have a silver CRV and will try to remember to put a note in the window.
Sometimes your mobile will work. So theres a last resort if you can't find anyone by looking.

Hi Guys,

This is the sort of thing we can expect at meroo....

We have the technology.

We have a hammock and two new camping chairs to try out. Tres excited. Looks like we'll be there from 31st to the 2nd or 3rd. Not nearly long enough. ad

Getting close now!

Ok, not long to go.

I thought I'd just put up a list of people who are and might be coming - a little encouragement for those of you as yet unconvinced.

Ben & Nina
Adam & Mon
Monika
Mel & Clem
Suzannah, Gavin & Dancehall
Matt & Lisa
Helen & Ben
Antony & Katia
Phil
Matt & Kat

Now, if you want to post blogs - just email me and I'll stick you on the list.
So far theres a great deal of excitement at the prospect of doing very little in a pretty setting. So get youses act together.

If you want to leave a little comment to let everyone know you're into the campin' thing, that would be great.
As usual if you need a lift or have room in a car - leave details.

Stand-by for maps and itineraries etc.

yours campingly.

meroo a while ago.

Go fish

Thanks for coming to the party you beautiful people you. So keen for fishin' at Meroo. Ad and Mon.

Meroo : The old favourite

Hi Everyone,

After having a great night with Adam and Moni to celebrate their impending nuptials, it would seem that everyone is keen for some MEROO HEAD action.

And rightly so - theres a loo there now you know.

I would assume that people will be camping some time between 28 Dec and 3 Jan.

I'll get off my arse at some point and put up the usual directions and photos and so forth.

If you're a member on this blog - feel free to add pictures - and if you're not a member, let me know and Ill add you.

Hope you're all well

Fingal Island?

Fingal Island might be worth another shot. 3 hours drive. We'd have it to ourselves. Lots of fishing. And it is overgrown so it would be a genuine adventure. Too hot though? Too far? Too scarey? Monica is going through the national parks book now.

Ad

Blue Mountains?

Are there any undiscovered little bits of paradise in the blue mountains? I'm keen for somewhere close but pretty. Royal National park might be cool to. They might both be pretty busy though.

You need to be a member to post so make sure you get Ben to invite you via email.

Thats Campin 2005/6

Hi Everyone,

2005 has been a busy year and its time to get thatscampin underway.

So, to get the ball rolling. a quick show of hands of those interested in a camping expedition for new years.

If you want to leave some suggestions for where to go - feel free.

Some ideas being thrown around are :

- Meroo again (theres loos there now!)

(thats it really - theres not been much talk about camping)

I think generally people want to go somewhere within easy driving distance of Sydney.
You know - maximise camping, minimise travel time - we're all so terribly busy dahling.

At the moment people who are interested are :

- Ben & Nina
- Matt & Kat (last time I heard anyway)
- Mel & Clem (flying back from Berlin ESPECIALLY)
- Adam & Mon (if the mansion on the harbour is unavailable)

If you want to be a member of this blog - just leave me a message and I'll add you.

Cheers B
