The Brimboal State Forest is approximately 3 hours and 45 minutes from Geelong via Hamilton. (Hamilton will be your last opportunity to stop at a supermarket.)
The bush is much flatter than what we’re used to in the high country, with Fallow being the target species. We’ll be set up in the middle of huntable bush, but feel free to explore the surrounding patches of state forest by car, as they all hold deer. In the unlikely event of heavy rain prior to the trip, the ground off-track can become soft, so it's a good idea to remain on established tracks/roads until you arrive at camp.
Members of the committee will be there from either Thursday or Friday morning. If you have trouble locating the camp and there’s no reception, a UHF radio will be at camp on station 12.
The Saturday night Branch dinner will be catered by one of our members, who will be serving paella. There is a $10 per person cost for catering, payable via the registration form.
Please RSVP by Thursday 17th April so we can prepare for catering.
If you have any questions, please contact Justin Kormoczi on 0432277009 geelong@austdeer.asn.au or Josh Maloney 0408547649 josh.maloney89@gmail.com
