Bugga Poolman! Its happened again, I'll be away doing driver training with the club that weekend. Would like to do it another weekend though and I suppose seeing as your on here, I can contact you for another weekend and see if Wooky and Ewok want to go again.

Great short trip, plenty to do in the day! One time we will overnight and do a drive to Pooginook conservation park too(near Waikerie), maybe if its a long weekend fit in loveday (Barmera) also!
Sorry no more pics of Morgan, but check Youtube for videos, plenty there!!!

Hey Guys,
Once it's up have a look at Pooginook on the tracks. If your looking for a country drive in the dirt, great, but if your looking at something a bit more intereting maybe head straight to loveday.

Are the Pooginook tracks no good? bit flat and boring or what? Maybe good for quiet camping on way thru or something maybe? Did you take pics at Pooginook?

Hey Poolman, I posted a pic with the Pooginook track that show typical track going north, the otherside is similar however heading down the west side there is scrub on both sides, and definately more low branches. Ended up snapping the aerial along this section somewhere. Towards the end there are some sandhills but would be more interesting doing it in 2wd with 50lb pressure. Ha Ha
Didn't take a picture at the campground, will think of that next time, but it's shady, not very open but all mallee scrub, just gotta jump the fence to get the firewood. No water or toilets, so would need to bring spade.
The track is onsite now.
