This a call out to our Aussie HF brethren and um... sistren (?) as well as any UnAustralians out there (yeah, you know who you are) who may be visiting the Wide Brown Land. I'd like to discuss the possibility of an official HF Australian east coast hang out for 2010.
Location and Time? Well, that's what we're here to discuss.
Who's interested?
boo yeah im in. any time is good for me just enough to give a heads up at work that I wont be showing up.
My top three would be
1Blue mtns anywhere
2Morton NP anywhere
3 anywehre
Already excited
Hey guys I'm From the Blue Mountains and a hang up here would be great. Just started to get back into hiking and haven't had a chance to take my hammock out yet!

I'd consider joining this illustrious group if it weren't for the Tiger snakes and the brown snakes!
I land in Sydney on Feb 11-ish and will be heading west from there. I'm on a loose schedule of heading west. Let me know if it comes up when I will be there and I'll try.
I reckon we try to get one while coffee is in town. Any time after the 19th of feb will do for me. Im in NZ for a week before that.
Good idea H.Quote:

Location for a mini-hang during the Feb timeframe? Anywhere in the Blue Mountains is good for me - Lithgow/Lower Wollemi, Katoomba/Jameson Valley. Morton Nat Park is VERY good for me - Meryla Pass to Kangaroo Valley is always nice. Royal National Park is pretty good for me. Nattai would be good as well - Starlights to Yerranderie would be a nice one for showing a Northern Hemispherian some of our natural fauna (huge mobs of eastern grey roos at dawn and dusk as well as big-arsed goannas).
Due to time constraints, an overnighter or two-nighter would be best for me.
Pazza, would you be up for a Feb mini-hang with Coffee?
Hey I'm interested but I have major Uni assignments due around that time so you guys should just organise it and I will tag along if i can.
Count me in! I can do 13-15 feb or 24-25 feb for a small group hang, and with enough notice, could do the Official Hang later. Sounds like a great idea and thanks for getting the organisation happening!
Awesome Kerri.
Let's all discuss some locations for the mini-hang.
I've already put forward the following:
Blue Mountains
Royal Nat Park
Morton Nat Park
Nattai River
If folks could add to the list we can get a vote happening.
Coffee, is there anywhere you know of within 70 miles or so of Sydney that you've been itching to see (for hammocking that is)?
