S immo’s brother Tim and Dazza headed up around lunch time on Friday. Matt and Humph got on the road about the same time as me and Simmo; we raised them on the UHF around Gumbyha Park and caught up just after Sands Rd servo. We stopped for a comfort stop and some potato cakes at Yarragon, well worth the effort. Fueled up in Moe after a short tour of Moe Heights! Then it was on to Erica pub for a meal and to wait for Bear and Dave. After we all had Dinner we headed out towards O’Tooles Flat, to meet up with Tim. We followed the main rd out and over the Dam wall at the Thomson Reservoir, then down Merringtons Tk. Bear coaxed Dave into taking a short cut track down to Jorgensen Flat, while the rest of us went around, cautiously gazing back at the tomb stone perched on the top of the short cut track? Dave got down safely, sometimes on three wheels and at one stage, just two! We followed Donnelly Creek track, dropping into all the campsites along the way and calling Tim on the UHF. Eventually we found them on the bottom of Army track at Store Point Hut. This was not a bad hut, a bit dank inside with bunk beds and a hot water system out the back. Under the veranda was a good fire tub with a chimney and seats around the edge. Friday night was pretty full on as usual and a few sore heads took a while to come good in the morning. After bacon and eggs, we packed up and took off up Army track. Tim pulled over for Dazza to feed the birds along the way, then turning off at Williamson Spur track. We headed up to Mt Useful via McEvoys track and looped around Green Hills Link Road to keep us off the main road. At Mt Useful we found some light snow on the ground and the view was a bit limited through the low clouds. Dazza was still feeling the effects from the night before, so Bailey sang him a few rounds of “This old Man, He played one” to perk him up a bit. We loaded up Tim’s pie warmer before taking off down the main rd again, heading for Black Range track. We went down Burgoyne Gap track and stopped for lunch at Macalister Gorge Scenic Reserve…Still no Dazza! (Continued on page 10) www.hiluxclub.org.au 9
