Dargo/Waterford 2012
What more can be said about Dargo? The RRCV classic event held on Labour Day for the past 20(?) years. If you haven't been before, we generally get between 30 and >40 cars for the weekend. Trips are organised for Saturday, Sunday & Monday. Standard is variable so pick & choose where you want to go & who you want to go with.
This is a Base Camp for 3 nights: Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Bring your own tent, camper or caravan. Some on-site vans are available as is a cabin if you are quick. If you wish to come early or stay longer please let the trip leader know and he will notify the proprietors.
Dargo is approached via Princes Highway through Sale & Stratford. Approx. 23 km past Stratford turn to Fembank, follow signs to Dargo. Take care on Dargo road especially if towing.
For the Saturday night dinner, NO spit roast is planned but we would like to have people coming to a common area with their meals or for after dinner drinks – this has always been a great gathering and a sharing of yarns and we would like that to continue.
The Annual Cricket Match – “The Rovers versus the Rabble” - takes place on Sunday afternoon.
Trips – the Dargo area has a lot of history to it as well as very spectacular scenery with great tracks. Trips will be decided closer to the weekend when weather and track conditions are known but there will be different trips occurring each day.
Park Amenities are hot showers, toilets, pwd. sites, gas BBQ, fuel, basic stores, good swimming in Wonangatta River. It is recommended that you bring your own drinking water as all water at the park comes from the river and depending on rains, the water may be a little dirty.
If you are interested then book your names in now - we would like to know when you plan to arrive and depart (usually Friday and Monday) and whether you need a powered site (if you do, please bring a long extension lead).
