We will kick off officially at 5pm on Saturday November 1st with happy hour at Lake Charlegrark camping ground (which has excellent facilities).

Sunday Plan A:
If the National Park has reopened by then (after the recent fires) it will be a full day drive in the central section of the Little Desert NP.

Sunday Plan B:
If the central section of the Little Desert NP is still closed, we will head to Wyperfeld NP and Lake Albacutya via Nhill.

Monday will be a spent in the Western section of the Little Desert (which has already reopened) and may include a section of the border track and a visit to Frances in SA.

Cup Day Tuesday is a free day to do some more sightseeing yourselves or head for home.

No dogs or firearms are allowed in the National Park.
