Trip Report – A Useful Walhalla wander
We started off our trip from Moe Maccas on a very foggy Saturday morning. After a thorough briefing by trip leader Brad (Jim) Carey, Michel drew the short straw and became Tail End Charlie. I waved to the other club at the meeting spot as we left, whose trip I was invited on but wouldn’t […]
MJOC 15 MILE HUT working bee PLUS BONUS SNOW DRIVE – 7th July 2018

Bush Baby Adventure– Take 3
9th June – 11th June 2018 Like most MJOC trips the excitement always starts the night before. I couldn’t sleep too well but that may have had something to do with buying the swag we were sleeping in the night before. Typical of Jake and I to do something like that however. Saturday morning, we […]

Bush Baby Queens Birthday Adventure
Bush Baby Adventure trip report. Moments before leaving for this trip I made two important decisions. The first was to borrow my wife’s yoga mat the second was stealing a doona from one of my kids beds. That second act came back to haunt me on arrival back home. I rolled the yoga mat up […]
