To My Dearest friend tymes. I was actually a little apprehensive replying to you as we need to moderate the riff raff at this event. Seeing that you are a Kawasaki rider I have to be
very cautious on letting you attend. It was clear at Putty Vinduro that Team Kawasaki was out in force, but luckily  Team Blue IT's responded to the attack and outnumbered team Green 2:1.
I will consider your application to ride at such a prestigious event and reply in due course. A rattle can of sky blue paint would go a long way in benefiting your entry.

Caught up with Brooksie and a few others today to help with marking out the loop and apart from being a bit wet at the moment due to heavy rain last night the countryside is looking fantastic. Due to the wet conditions the loop and camping has been re-arranged to suit. Brooksie will post up more details of this in the coming days.
Forgot my camera but here is some pics I took on my crappy phone just to get you started.







This was on Jerra Jerra Rd and shows how wet it is at the moment. It was flowing quite fast and judging from the surrounding grass it was much higher overnight.

I just watched a few episodes of Hogans Heros, thanks Brooksie   
The property looks fantastic

I couldnt imagine Brooksie taking his TUB accross that water. It floats about as well as the Bundy Rum Boat.

Fortunately there are a few different ways to go. The Rd in the pic is one I use to head in from the South so he wouldn't have gone that way however he did have to navigate through some water on one of the other roads as you can see by some pics he has put up over on the Vinduro Forum. But don't worry, unless we get another large downpour like that on the day before the event it will all have disappeared by then.

I made it through and have proof, tut, tut, tut.

A big thanks again to Murray for letting us use his property again. I say it every year but without Murray's support there would be no Cooka.

Also a big thanks to Derek, Don and Troy for giving up their day to help mark out the track.

The biggest change this year is the camp site. Due to a very wet few months the lower paddock was just to wet for vehicles to cross without causing irreputable damage to the paddock
and secondly having vehicles bogged. The decision was made there and then to move the pit/camping area to the top of the hill. For those who attended the first Cooka in 2011 we will travel
up the lane at the end of Jeraluen Road and follow the dirt track to the top of the hill. It is steep but we don't see it being an issue. Please follow the signs.

Jerraluen Road under water. I don't have a good track record crossing water, but "No Guts, No Glory" and I made it through.



As you can see plenty of water in the paddock. It was like this all the way across



Access to the lane at the end of Jerraluen Road. Take the track to the left and go up the hill. Not good access for Mitsubishi Lancers with an inch clearance, 20" Chromies and a Subwoofer Bro.
But my Falcon has made it up before with a tandem trailer.




Easy and Hard section. Hope you've got a good back tyre.



More details to come. Please make sure you contact me if you intend on coming or  to reserve a licence if needed as we have limited spots available.
