2019 Lake Cargelligo Trip

by Jan McKenzie – trip reporter

Our group of Jim, Marcia, Peter, Fran, Mick, Anne, Graham, Jan, Sue and Roger left Silvalite

Service Station at 8 am on Friday, 25th October, enroute to Lake Cargelligo. This year we trav-

elled in a more circular route, travelling to Darlington Point for our morning tea stop, then on

through Griffith (with a quick glimpse at their “Orange Festival”) to Rankin Springs.

We’d intended a beer break here to support the town, but as the

pub hadn’t yet opened for the day, we continued. The farther we

travelled, the windier conditions became, with raised dust across

the road and in the paddocks – the ongoing drought evident eve-

rywhere.

After checking in, we set

up our sleeping quarters –

2 caravans, 2 camper trailers, a T-van and 2 tents (upon the

later arrival of Dave). The gusty winds continued, making

for challenging conditions in setting up tents. Then it was

time for lunch.

The lady in the Caravan Park office was new and had been

there for only 3 weeks, working almost single-handedly with a small amount of casual help only,

and a fish-o-rama and packed park the previous weekend. She was horrified when we said we

would be using the camp kitchen, which she hadn’t yet had time to clean from all the wind and

dust, as she was still battling to get through the cabins, amenities blocks, office duties and other

tasks by herself. We assured her, we would happily clean it, if she could supply the cleaning prod-

ucts. Since we came to the Lake to support a drought fund-raiser, we felt this was another way we

could support a small, struggling, drought-affected community. Many hands sweeping, mopping,

dusting, wiping, washing soon had the camp kitchen under control.

The courtesy bus collected us at 5.30pm, delivering us to the club. It only operates for about 3-4

functions a year with volunteer help. The rooms were already set up so we would be helping with

food preparation, cooking, serving, greeting and tickets.

Unlike last year, where we served the food and people sat down to their meal, a different format

was used, with half the people seated and half the people standing to eat. A smaller selection and

quantity of salads were provided on a table with servers taking the lamb hors d’oeuvres around

the room. Guests were treated to lamb meat balls, koftas, kebabs, ribs, sliders, and chipolatas

Trip /Activity Report Template

This is just a very rough guide to assist with the type of information that might be included in a trip report. Please feel

free to use all, some or none of this when compiling your trip reports:

• Name of Trip – include destination and all places visited in between

• Dates, time departed and where from, day and time of return.

• Name of Trip leader

• Number of kilometres travelled

• Number of people, vehicles, types of rig i.e. camper van, rooftop tent, tent, etc

• Highlight/s of the trip

• Negative/s of the trip – if any

• Comment on road/track type, condition, recoveries etc

• Activities carried out and a little detail i.e. fishing, swimming, walks etc

• General comment about how the group enjoyed the trip.

• Please attach at least 3 photo’s with your trip report

from the various producers. About 150 people attended the function.

This year there was no cabbage shredding, garlic peeling, nut shelling, etc, with pre-cooked jack-

eted potatoes, vacuum sealed packs of coleslaw and green pre-prepared salad, needing only fetta

added and dressings. Quite a bit of the meat was pre, or partially cooked and vacuum sealed and

simply required finishing off by our 4WD club. The remaining meat was cooked by “Down the

Track” – a team of local indigenous youth, under the guidance of their mentors of 2 local police

officers. The youth cater approximately 3 times a week in their customised van/trailer and the

program assists in upskilling the local youth, providing work experience, education and training.

Activity Report: Advanced Driver Training Course Well, after a number of years of trying to get ourselves in a position to run advanced driver training in Wagga for our members, we finally achieved it. And what a great weekend it was too with much learned and many new skills gained by participants and club trainers alike.

For this our first course, I was very pleased that we ended up with a small group of 6 participants (Scott, Ian, Brendan, Macca, Garry and Jason) who all had very good 4Wdriving skills as well as already being used to working together as a team. I was also very grateful for the expert assistance of 4 of our very experienced club members (Peter van Wel, Paul Kingdom, Clancy Salway and Andrea Sheffield) to assist with the training. Paul Fisher, the Head Trainer from Getabout Training Services/NSW 4WD Association made the long trek from Gosford to mentor us and to make sure we were on the right track. Paul is a full time trainer with outstanding knowledge and skills. His assistance was much appreciated.

So, what did we do?

Saturday morning saw us gather at the RSL Club to go over basic 4WDriving theory as a refresher. This prepared everyone for the hands on practical work at our Quarry Training Area where we took a prob-lem solving, team-work approach based on a num-ber of scenarios. The emphasis was on learning the skills rather than difficult driving situations. After preparing vehicles and completing an activity risk assessment, we broke up into 2 groups for ad-vanced driving techniques including guiding vehi-

cles over obstacles, hill stops and stalls, side slopes, traction control etc. Participants were able to experiment with their vehicles to learn their capa-bilities. With 3 trainers to 3 partici-pants there was good interaction.

Saturday afternoon focussed on vehi-cle recovery with winching theory and using hand winches (single line and double line pulls) as well as power winching in a situation that was not straight forward and took a fair bit of planning. Quite a bit of time was spent on how to calculate the recovery loads involved in winching (a combination of vehicle weight, slope of the ground, and the nature of the terrain under the wheels). As part of the power winching we had a very good unscheduled exercise in how to remove a kink from a steel winch cable.

Saturday night was spent around the camp fire which was very welcome on a cold night. As a group we went through the theory quiz as well as an additional quiz on winching. There was much discussion about the day’s activities and very constructive feedback.

Day 2 involved a number of sand recovery scenarios which again reinforced the “hierarchy of recovery” based on risks involved (i.e. drive out safest to snatch strap most dangerous). We used recovery boards, joined snatch straps, and different winching techniques (ground anchor and tree). Following the play in the sand, participants completed a water crossing exercise. To finish off the course we used Tyre Pliers to break a bead on a tyre, and everyone had a go at plug-ging punctures in a tyre. We then demonstrated how to use a high lift jack and a “bull bag” exhaust jack (generously do-nated to the club by Chris Parr).



11

All in all it was a big weekend, and although we covered many advanced techniques we tried to keep an easy pace and ensure an enjoyable expe-rience for all.

As well as the benefits to the individual partici-pants, the club has benefited through the im-proved expertise of our club trainers. We are

steadily building a training team with high level knowledge and skills which will be invaluable on club trips and in future training courses. As a group we decided that we need a “Club Vehicle Recovery Proto-col” to standardise procedures and communication in

situations such as snatch and winch recovery, and guiding drivers through difficult situ-ations. This will complement our standard convoy proce-dures and will mean every-one is on the same page.

Thankyou again to all in-volved in the weekend. I look forward to our next Basic 4WD Training and Advanced 4WD Courses next year. John Kent, Training Officer.

NOTES AND TRIP GRADING


14

Peter “Spida” Everitt, formerly a Saints, Hawks then a Sydney Swans AFL player, and now a

Queensland radio-show host, proved both an interesting and entertaining guest speaker. He was

at ease mingling and chatting with the guests, listening to their various tales. An auction of goods

and memorabilia was held with ribbons awarded in the lamb “Paddock to Plate” competition,

with music following these events. Our exhausted group caught the courtesy bus back for a wel-

come sleep after a big day.

Eggs, bacon, hash-browns, tomatoes, mushrooms and buns got our day started on Saturday, prior

to travelling to Hillston, where we met Simon of “Select Harvest”. He took us for a tour around

the company’s almond farms – a mammoth operation of drip-irrigated almond varieties. We also

met the irrigation manager and spent an educational couple of hours touring the plantation, pump

-houses and dams, machinery lot and workshop, learning about gas cannons that attempt to scare

crows, $50,000 fans that aid in preventing frost destroying

trees and second shakes of trees to

get 10% extra almonds worth

$500,000. Flies were in plague pro-

portions and unwelcome company

on our tour.

We enjoyed lunch in Hillston before farewelling Michael and Anne who returned to Wagga from

here. Another gusty, dusty journey back to the Lake followed, with a quiet afternoon to socialise

in our less windy, camp-kitchen base, prior to our evening meal at the Bowling Club Chinese res-

taurant. Fran won a chicken meat tray in their raffle. Our evening concluded with drinks and so-

cialising in the camp kitchen.




15

Sunday began with breakfast and packing

up of our tents, campers and caravans. Af-

ter the 36°C Friday and hot night, a cooler

24°C and 9° Saturday night was welcome.

Upon leaving we visited the Lake Cargelli-

go Weir and Fishway on a scenic part of the

Lachlan River. Again, we spent our time

perfecting the “Aussie Wave” as the flies

found our company.

We continued a dusty journey on the un-

sealed back road to Condobolin, where we

enjoyed a visit to “Utes in the Paddock”.

This collection of utes has been creatively

decorated by various artists in traditional

Aussie themes. Hopefully, this well-

planned and developed attraction will bring tourists in to another drought-affected community.

After lunch at the park in town, we farewelled David, who remained in Condobolin to visit his

brother. Five vehicles continued to West Wyalong, Temora and then Wagga.

An enjoyable 3 days had been spent by all, getting to know some new members, strengthening

friendships, socialising, sharing stories and assisting other communities in times of drought,

whilst travelling through some different roads in our visit inland. Thanks to Jim for your organi-

sation of the trip and to all who made this trip such a success.
