I'm from Adelaide picking up a caravan this weekend but just as happy to put the roof top tent on. I'd prefer gravel to the black stuff and happy to do more serious off road tracks. No kids so non-school holidays should be quieter. If I have the time happy to travel towards Sydney, Melbourne or Perth.
As far as dates go I have 2 weeks leave from 11th March to 26th March.
Anyone up for another muster?

Bruce,
Seeing you're keeping the ball in play, if you havent already done so, do a search on past "Treg Musters" to see where previous muster groups have been over the past 8 years or so,
Some may prefer to explore new grounds......

Canberra region. Fully self sufficient trailer so can go anywhere. Less than 200 motel nights and not quite as fuel thirsty to tow. Just looking at a map, without seeing where participants might come from, NW Vic or western NSW look to be central to all but those from WA. Autumn sounds pretty good, after the fires and before the rain.

A new metric..motel nights. Thank you.

Sorry Bruce, I apologise but I do not remember you.
Was it you that came for the day only and you had a nice black 7L with wrap(?) on the sides.

I'm a long time lurker on this site and if the planets align would love to tag along. We live in N/E Vic and have a small off road self contained van so flexible with venues / sites. Kids at uni now so no ankle biters to contend with either.

Yes…but I was there for two nights. Wrap is fridge magnet material to stop scratching only when offroad.
Stops about 80 to 90% of scratching. Cost me $210 for 10 metres. On the weird side but it works.

So I can find some nice remote caravan parks near rivers. No cabins unfortunately. The other thing I am struggling with is offroad routes.
2 options.
Invergordon at the foot of Gloucester Tops. Stunning area. Dead end dirt trail up the mountain for about 12 kms Not off road off road.
Lostock Dam with hearby short route and back up the Allyn River. Not off road off road.
So far more short touring on dirt roads.
Happy to have suggestions round Sydney Newcastle at this point. Dragline any thoughts?
Try these in NSW. Some are commercial but they offer access to some harder grades than can be easily found in the free world. Sort of trying to cater to all tastes.
The Dowling Track
Ado’s 4WD course
Levuka Rainforest Recreation Park
Stockton Beach if you want sand instead of rocks
The Bridle Track
the England Track
Lobs Hole Ravine Trail
the Barrington Trail

In addition to the tracks there are options to stay on various private properties that can be sourced through sites like hipcamp. It expands the options .........

Thank you.
Barrington Track I believe is close to Gloucester Tops..but ..it is a dead end track. That is one way back to Gloucester Tops. Might be enough.
Thank you.
Barrington Track I believe is close to Gloucester Tops..but fair distance to get back to Invergordon after completing track.
I've done the drive up to Barrington Tops and then down the other side through Ellerston to Scone. No challenges, just a reasonable gravel road. Those with better knowledge of the area would know of some logging/4wd tracks. Gloucester would be a good spot to base from. Plenty of accommodation at motel, hotel, caravan park and b&b's for those who like a bit of luxe, and Roadies cafe used to do a ripper egg & bacon roll. Haven't been there for a while now so may have changed.

So..No more suggestions of where or when. Still reckon next year may be autumn. It will be accessible by well maintained tar or dirt road with some off road for those who want to.
Just to frame some questions
Where yall from? So we can post a Treg site not to arduous to get to!
School holidays or non school holidays re kids?
Remote site with vans, trailers or remotish caravan park with better facilities? I am set up to comfortably camp off road..but happy to get in to cabin.

Please post any otjer considerations or destination suggestions…So far round Sydney Upper Hunter area re Singh, Dragline and myself.
Hi I’m based in Adelaide. Just bought my first Touareg so would like to mix with long term owners and learn more about vehicle. Happy to go off-road but hate mud. Would probably bring my van due to travel distance involved. Retired so flexible on timing. Mike

I'm retired and based near ACT. My wife and I have a poptop caravan and are travelling to southern WA in autumn next year, then up to northern WA and NT for winter, then back down to SA for spring.

Depending on where we are during that trip, I'd be happy to park the caravan somewhere and catch up at some place for a day trip then back to the caravan for the night. The Flinders ranges sounds nice. We plan to look around there at some stage.

I've been bogged many times through my previous work so I'm not willing to go through all that again. Hence, I'm interested in gravel roads but not mud and sand.

Thank you…it is all we have now mud..it just rains here
The road maybe unsealed ..depending where we choose..so not terrible. The offroad may have mud but I reckon you will find someone to go with without taking your own car.
There is a lot of experince. I am pretty non mechanical but Singh, Dragline and I think Seafarer28 are people have huge knowledge on the cars.
Please come. As I mentioned if you dont want to get car muddy hitch a lift. Forewarned..one of the sites I favour has about four or so fords..but normally crystal clear mountain water.

Yep..my AT tyres are not wonderful in mud …so I concur..I sort a just want gravel to tell you the tuth.
If it gets a little bit more hardcore then hitch a lift with someone in their car. Should be able to tell how offroad it may get before hand. It will be a caravan park..Maybe not 4 star but it will have facilities
Interesting. Have thought maybe time for another muster. Will keep following this thread.
Newbie to the group but would be interested.
Definitely interested. I'm Sydney based with a camper trailer
