Discussion Needed!
Hi to all Aussie Touareg owners.
There hasn't been any activity on this tread for some months and, in all reality, we need to get some discussion going now if there is any chance of a 2016 Muster actually taking place this year.
At a campfire meeting at the 2015 Muster held at Trilby Station (Outback NSW), the subject for a venue for 2016 was raised and it was resolved that as a few were planning to do a Victorian High Country (VHC) trip in the new year, we would wait for their feedback before deciding on a venue for the 2016 Muster.
Concensus on the night was that the VHC was probably the most central location for most Victorian, NSW and SA members so it may be a suitable location for the 2016 meet.
Being a participant at the VHC trip, I believe that indeed the VHC would be a nice venue for the 2016 event depending on the needs of those thinking of attending.
If most attendees plan on bringing their own caravans/campers then I feel that the area we stayed on the foot hills of the Snowy Mountains at Geehi, (Khancoban area) would be a very suitable with a great camping area and some nice fire trails and tracks available however the downside is that there is very limited accommodation available for people not staying on site.
If on the other hand, we have good interest from members wishing to stay in accommodation then the Bright area (Vic), would be the go with far more demanding 4WD tracks all around and all within easy reach of first class accommodation and restaurants/eateries.
The other benefit of having the Muster in the VHC is that meet could be held as late as end of November without worrying about the summer heat.

Please, let's get some dialogue going as it would be a shame if we let the GTC fall through the cracks as it's a great opportunity to meet fellow members, make friends and network within the Touareg fraternity.
