Geocache Description:

Mt Mee Camping, Social and 4WD weekend.


The above coordinates are for the Saturday morning meeting at the Gantry Area. The campsite coordinates are in the description below.

This trip will be based at a Neurum Creek campsite adjacent to Mt Mee, which is accessible by 2WD. This trip is definitely open to ALL, so don't feel left out if you only have 2WD, there are passenger places available. Also if you just want to come out for a weekend of camping and relaxation amongst friends, then you are welcome to do this too.

Drives

Ascent

Times are only approximate

11:00 Saturday - We will be meeting up at the Gantry area, for a familiarisation drive just to explore a little bit of Mt Mee. This will be a relatively easy drive.

16:00 Saturday - We will be leaving the campsite for a Sundowner at the Lakes Lookout (cache here). After sunset, we will be doing a night drive looking through some interesting tracks before heading back to camp.

11:00 Sunday - Will be another led trip, this time a little more challenging than the saturday ones.

 

Campsite

Ascent

The campsite will be Neurum Creek Bush Retreat (website here). This is a fabulous site on the Neurum Creek. Aside from the 4WDing aspect of Mt Mee, there are lovely walks here and the creek has swimming holes, which have resident Platypus, Kingfishers and numerous other photographic opportunies.

The campsite is dog friendly, has amenity blocks with hot showers and dusk-dawn lighting. There is firewood and ice on sale in the shop.

The campsite is under new ownership, so the website will be changing mid August.

Important Note (Disclaimer)

Forest Drive

The terrain for this trip will mainly consist of gravel tracks with some interesting steep climbs. This WILL require your 4WD to have a low range, but should not require any special equipment. You will be responsible for ALL the tasks that you undertake. No tasks are mandatory. Alternative routes can be provided for anyone who is not entirely happy with the road that they are on.
