The nominal time for the event will be noon on Saturday 16th April 2016, concluding at 5:30pm. After signing the log book and having lunch, an afternoon of exploring the mountain and all it has to offer will conclude with a prize draw at 5pm. Any day visitors who have left before the prize draw will get their prize after the event by arrangement
Although day visitors can be accommodated, the preferred option would be to stay at the lodge for one, two or three nights.
The lodge will be available for our use from 4pm Friday night until 10am Monday morning and the donation to the club to cover accommodation will be $25 per person per night.
We will need to bring our own food and drinks, however the Supermarket is very close by and open from 8am to 9pm, and 8pm on Sunday.
The lodge has a very well equipped kitchen and an industrial dish washer. There is also a laundry and generally, everything we need.
The club supplies all bedding except sheets and pillow cases, so you need to bring those, or sleeping bags if you'd prefer. You'll also need to bring towels and you may like to bring a bath mat too. The usual arrangement is to bring your own sheets and pillow cases, and use the club beds, pillows and doonas. 
Summer activities at Mount Buller include hiking, mountain bike riding, tennis, and of course, there are quite a few geocaches within hiking distance. There are also many mountain 4WD tracks nearby, leading to places like Craig's Hut, Mount Stirling, The Bluff, and so on.
At least one mountain bike trail leading down the mountain beside the Delatite River, has a series of caches beside it.
Children are welcome but will need to be supervised by their parents.
Caravans are not permitted past Mirimbah at the foot of the mountain.
Further information will be added closer to the event.
We have accommodation for about 36 people accommodated in 9 rooms of varying configurations. Full details will be added later as some of the bunk arrangements will be modified slightly over summer, to replace a couple of over/under bunks with a double bed and a single bunk on top, to better accommodate families.
However there are 6 rooms with well organised share facilities and 3 rooms with en suites. Two of the ensuite rooms have four single bunks, and one large room has two double bunks and two single bunks, and a day/night couch. It's best if the ensuite rooms are used by families or groups comfortable living together. The unisex share facilities are spacious and private and should not be a cause for concern..
More information about the lodge is available here on the club website.
When you log your intention to attend, please indicate if possible, if you will be a day attendee, or which nights you would like to stay, then contact me by email here to arrange your accommodation.
If the weather is bad, which can occur in the mountains, we will be able to have some group working sessions on GSAK, GPS hardware, or anything else which emerges where we have suitable resources, knowledge and interest.
Here's the latest accommodation plan.
