Murray River Weekend and Paddle
(Feb 2010)

As many members will be aware, Chris VK3QB will be paddling 160kms along the Murray River between 27th April and 3rd May.  Details about this event can be found at www.vk3kha.org or www.paddleforkidneys.net - members are welcome to participate in this event – and you don’t even have to paddle.

The long weekend prior to this event (24-26 April) will be a camping weekend along the River at Echuca.  It will be “bush camping” in the state park along the edge of the Murray close to Echuca.  Members are welcome to stay in camp grounds or other accommodation should they wish – Echuca has much to offer with tourist facilities, paddle steamers and fishing etc.  Any members interested in attending either the camping weekend 24-26 April, or the paddle event 27 April – 3 May should contact Chris VK3QB direct for more info.

All members are encouraged to visit the web sites and read about the critical issues of Kidney Health and Organ Donation.  Please direct any questions to Chris VK3QB. Home: 9708 8320, mobile: 0429 187 593, Skype: sm0yks, email: vk3qb@ggrec.org.au, QRV: 145.450.

ILLW Practice Walk
(Chris VK3QB - Feb 2010)

GGREC is planning a practice walk on Monday 8th March for the ILLW hike. The plan to is walk the 7kms, or even the return 14kms, from Punchbowl to Kilcunda. For information on the walks see:
http://www.visitvictoria.com/displayobject.cfm/objectid.00085BDB-C610-1A5F-88CD80C476A90318/
http://maps.google.com.au/maps?source=ig&hl=en&rlz=1R2SKPB_enAU342&q=sa%20remo%20to%20kilcunda&lr=&oq=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl

Liaise on 145.450 or the Club repeater on-route. Anyone wishing to carpool could meet at Pat’s QTH in Tooradin and go from there.  I propose an early start – it would be nice to start walking by 9.30-10am and plan to get to Kilcunda comfortably in 2 hours – then those who wish to do the return walk can do so.  We’ll need to consider logistics of leaving one car at Kilcunda for anyone who only wants to walk one way.
