Arie and I are going to come up Saturday morning. The plan is to leave home at 6am so we should be there somewhere between 10 and 11.

Ben, can you post up a gpx file in the GPS section for those of us who may be travelling alone?

Yeah, we will be at the Burrows Waterhole campsite, which is at the end of the road. It's a long drive in once you get to the park. There is a good map on the national parks website as well.

See you there.

At this stage, Keri will be coming by herself, so was reluctant to drive into the park by herself. She asked if I could meet her outside the park at 8:30am, i.e. at the Ballandean Petrol Station.

But sounds like we also have Mark & Arie, Scooter and Dalmatian coming on the Saturday. Did you wish to meet at Ballandean at say 9:00am?

I have added the campsite in as a waypoint. I did this manually and I'm pretty sure it is in the right spot.

There is also a map of the park on the national parks website.

Enjoy.

Hi guys, how long is the track to the campsite? 1/2 hr, more?
Cheers, Tom

Yeah it is a fair way on a pretty rough track. 2 hours if you take it easy.

I am keen to meet around 9ish at Ballandean. We could always meet at Ballandean Estate Winery, according to their website they open at 9

Thanks Mark,

That sounds like a great idea. Maybe Keri could meet up with you at 9:00am at Ballandean, and she could follow you in. That way I don't need to come out of the park and drive to Ballandean in the morning.

I thought the trip into the park was only around 55 to 60 mins. I must have had too much fun last time, and time just flew by.

Would the others coming along also like at meet at 9:00am at Ballandean St?

Just looking at the map, it appears you take Curr Rd on the right of the highway at Ballandean (just past the petrol station/mini mart, and the dinosaur), and then left onto Sundown Rd. And 2 hours later, you'll be at the campground.
