Note - the meeting is the SECOND Tuesday in April, to stay clear of Easter holidays.
Come along to the Monthly RRCV Meeting. There will be trip reports, news, information and usually, a guest speaker or a simliar attraction. A great opportunity to catch up with other members and with all that's happening at the RRCV.
There was a time, long, long ago, when cattlemen would roam around the Mt Buller area around about the end of April and early May to retrieve their cattle before the first winter snows. Alas, the romance of all that has gone, but we can still travel through that country to see some of the more historic areas.
We shall have a look at the new Craig’s Hut (OK, so that is not very historic!), go to Cobbler Lake and the Falls, to Lovick’s Hut, Bluff Hut and Bindaree Hut. Start and finish are at Mansfield.
The Toyota Landcruiser Club has invited us to compete in Cruiserkhana 2010 at their property in Yarck. And yes, the Range Rover Club is up to the challenge!
About Cruiserkhana

CruiserKhana 2010 will be held 17 - 18 April 2010 and will make a great weekend trip for Club members. Saturday is the main competition day, with additional optional events on Sunday.

Two nights under canvas, with the occasional modest cooking fire.
Organiser: Peter Bladin and Catherine Lander
Trip Classification: Medium – may get harder if wet.
