So, to be consistent with the "Trip Leader Thread" these are the current pre-trip checks:

Fire - out of control fire in Cooranbong - vehicle fire of nil Ha so imagine not a bush fire. Will double check before we leave but seems a non issue.

National Parks closures: there are a number in the area (Watagans National Park and Jilliby State Conservation Area), fortunately we avoid them, and for that matter 99% of the trip is in Olney State Forest rather than the National Park

State Forest closures: embarrassed to admit the kerry and i found the collapsed bridge on Watagans Creek Rd before we read the Forestry advice! From our own reccies, we also know that the bridge on Old Mill Road is down - forestry havent caught up with this yet as it happened recently.

From MetEye the weather looks quite ideal. Reasonable chance of light rain that will simply dampen the dust, winds light beforehand and throughout the day.

Will check the radar and fire before leaving on Saturday morning.

Also Daniel Djuracic on board.

List is now complete.

Hi Dru. Regrettably Amy and I won't be able to join this trip. We're in the process of moving house and just can't find the time to get out on the tracks. Hopefully we'll meet up with everyone soon

One final note: BOM - MetEye has firmed up rain predictions. We can expect rain but only 0 to 4mm. Just enough to dampen the dust.

That fire warning has cleared as well.

Hi Dru, sorry I have to pull out off this trip too. Arm is mending well but I've come down with a flu like virus which has drained my energy. I'll catch up with you on the trail soon if we can eliminate my companion stomach issues.

Cheers RobS

Rain and wind situation is all good. The Watagans have had 1mm (sic) of rain since 9:00 yesterday. Reasonable chance of slight rain rain today (0 to 5mm).

See you all at the twin servo.
