Below is pretty much what was published for MJOC members on Tuesday night in the new G Boners club newsletter...now it's here for everyone!



National Jeep Jamboree Victoria 2010

30th September to 3rd October 2010
Lardner Park, Warragul, Victoria
www.jeepjamboree.com.au


After a decent amount of time, trips, meetings, and planning, the long awaited date and venue for next year’s Jambo are set.

Lardner Park (www.lardnerpark.com.au) is the planned base for what we are planning to be the largest Jeep owner’s event ever held in Australia.

Lardner Park was home to the 1994 Jeep Jamboree (but things have changed a little since then) and is located about 10 minutes from the towns of Drouin and Warragul. Trips will be held in the surrounding areas including Neerim, Nilma, Noojee, and Bunyip, as well as areas a bit further away such as Baw Baw and Walhalla.

Those who follow the competition circuit may be aware that this is an area used by various winch challenge and other competitions that cover both public and private tracks that we should have good access to (we couldn't let you extrme guys down!).

This area of Victoria will offer trip options to satisfy every Jeep owner with minimal experience to expert and every type of Jeep model from stock, through to tourer, extreme, and everything in between.

Unlike other recent Jamborees that have been held from Friday to Monday, we are planning to start the event on Thursday, September 30th and finishing up on Sunday October 3rd. This is the last weekend of the school holidays for us here in Victoria (and QLD) and the middle weekend of the school holidays for NSW, ACT, SA, NT, and WA.

The idea of starting on Thursday is to give attendees a couple of days of mid-week (and therefore almost exclusive access) to the tracks in the chosen area, then having the weekend include (amongst many other trips of course) the base camp based activities like show’n’shine, motorkhana, trade alley, Jeep 101, test track, etc.

Chrysler Australia are very excited about the Jambo being held at such a fantastic venue, and in an area so close to Melbourne that it not only opens up some of Victoria’s great tracks to those from around the country, but also to locals who are able to come for the full event, the weekend, or even just a day.

More details will be available over coming months (see www.jeepjamboree.com.au) as the steering committee continue base arrangements, and as the event organising committee takes shape.

National Jeep Jamboree Victoria 2010...a great way to GET 'EM DIRTY!

Sounds like a great location but whats are G Boners?

MGOC Melbourne Gerbil Owners Club

The shortcut to the Jambo via the corner country and Flinders should be great after all the rain were some of the back roads will still be waiting on the graders

Wayne and his club of CJ owners are planing on hiring a Car Carrier Truck to ferry all their cars down and back, they are planing to fly down..

If you have driven a CJ 10 hours in a day I reckon you would feel like you had driven 10 hours.

I think there will be spare spots on the truck----details to follow

Gary

yep! the Flinders short cut will be great!! can wait!!.... it will full of flowers and if still raining as it is, full of water too!!! and yes we will be in a CJ !!!!!

Hey thanks for that Gary, talked to Wayne about the car carrier and he mentioned the website to me but I forgot what it was called. Keith was feeling sad he couldnt bring his CJ7 to the Jambo.

Jamboree is not going to happen for me this time, with school holidays and the cost.

oh no! David that is not good news.... we will miss you guys so much.....

OK im in to go via the Strezleki track and Flinders. Im starting to sought out the Jeep and camping gear already, making a fridge slide, double jerry can holder, soughting out maps and looking into a new tent and sleeping bags.

Is it to early to pack the jeep and hook up the camper?

Well I got the Beer fridge in. That should keep me amused for a while

We are planning on taking the whole family down in the TJ

Going directly there taking maybe 3days to get there, leaving probably sunday before. If anyone else is interested in coming along you should be able to keep up. Stopping at some isolated camping spots on the way - nothing definate with kids in mind.

Reddy is ready and packed!! can we go?

Got battery system working to keep the beers in the new fridge cold so we are ready to go as well
