I might change my plans for this weekend, seeing how no one was interested in the Cressbrook trip, and get down to Hamon Cove and have a look around instead.
Early Warning to Wivenhoe Dam camp trip August 06
2
As requested by the Dodgey one, this post is to guage some interest and gather info for a possible camping/yakking trip to Wivenhoe Dam (Big W)
Proposed Date:Mid to late August 2006
Members arriving Friday and saturday, some leaving sunday, others remaining until Monday. (Must get Richo onto some bass )
Camp Sites:
Logan complex - Excellent camp sites with full amenities (flush toilets and showers) some general supplies available , 15mins drive from fernvale, 5 mins past the dam wall, clearly signed. See image below for site locations and booking info, having spoken to Terry, the ranger, we can book when ever we want (sooner the better) and pay on arrival.
Launch options:
Logan inlet has a decent ramp, but you can also launch off the bank at the camp site easily enough with a trolley or a hand from fellow yaker.
10mins drive to Hamon Cove, another launch site which I havent investigated as yet, I think there may also be camping there, will inform when details are verified.
Interested Members:

Mac Fish and friend

Hehe, good stuff Gerard, be good to have ya along.
Great stuff Dallas, it's a great place for a camp, facilities are better than any camp grounds I have seen, and after the successful mission yesterday, I'm pretty sure we'll see some monster bass too.
