« on: November 01, 2012, 03:16:57 PM »
Hi All,

Im heading to Howqua this weekend..Its the first time for me and towing a Jayco Swan Outback with a Jeep Gran Cherokee arriving on the Saturday..Ive read about Sheepyard flats and appears to be a good start for the first timer but essentialy I'm just after somewhere to camp with wife and kids....I have a stock standard Jeep Cherokee.
Appreciate some feedback.

Don't go there. Join the rest of us at the Kelly country gathering at Tolmie. See the trip section of the forum.

Hi Crisp,
              Looks to be more serious 4WD event. I have a stock standard Jeep with a pop top Jayco camper..

If you like a crowded campground full of people who are loud with generators and floodlights to all hours into the night Sheep yards is the go. It will be extremely busy there for the long weekend and as it is accessable by any type of vehicle it becomes a little crazy.

Take my spot and go to the MySwag meet, there are a heap of things to do besides full on driving. We are heading into the hills to get away from the crazy crowds, more than welcome to join me if you want, all roads are soft roader friendly

Kanga, come and join us. MySwag events aren't about comparing size. This will be another great event and you never know you might find some folks who know all the good spots to take you and your family next time.

Your stock vehicle will go all the places we're going.

There are people up there already and there is no set time for arrival. Some members are doing day trips. There will be enough room and you would have a ball with like minded people.

G'day mate, some very keen (read desperates) are there already, a lot (me included) will be dribbling in all day tomorrow and the rest on Saturday. We will make room, not a problem.
Have a look at the "Access to Tolmie" thread in the "Kelly Country" trip section.
This is my 1st swagger trip so should be fun, lots of very friendly, funny members will be there !! The whole recreation reserve is exclusively for Myswag.org members only, no blowins, no yahoos Come on, you know you want to   :cheers: :cheers: :laugh: :laugh:

C'mon, what's the problem,easy choice I thought, a week-end mixed up with a crowd of friendly drunks (swaggers) OR a week-end mixed up with a crowd of unfriendly,noisy,beligerant drunken yobo's at sheepyard flat or Fry's hut
