Camping with Disco mates
Hi Greg here.

This is my 1st blog. A couple of mates went camping last weekend. Four Disco’s met at the BP outside Pakenham at about Friday 7:30pm. Another friend Ian was due in the morning. Got to the Thomson Dam wall at 9pm. Turned left at the intersection then right onto Trig track. The track was moist but no problems. Approaching the camp we were greeted by a large campfire that Paul had going for us. Chose our tent spots and then settled down for dinner. We had a very clear night.
Saturday morning was looking to be a great day. Breakfast then just kicked back until Ian rolled up. As soon as Paul P(PP) and his friend got back from fishing (Raman 20 PP 1) we set of for our drive. Covered a couple of tracks that we’ve done before on our way to do two of the Deep Creek tracks. Ian had mechanical issues due to incorrectly fitted front wheel bearings. And he paid them to do it to! That was a good break as we had a BBQ for lunch. Highlight of the day was Deep Creek 1 track.
Back to camp for dinner and drink. PP set up a cocktail bar and Kee had some very nice meat cooking.
Sunday morning, all had a casual breakfast and packed up. The plan was to cover one more Deep Creek track and home via Walhalla. We took Trig track with all its switch backs out of camp. On top of the hill I had a mechanical problem. Every one assisted and I was back on the road in about an hour but in two wheel drive. Deep Creek 5 was left for next time. Stopped in the beautifully township of Walhalla for coffee. We got back on the road for home after 4pm. Some of us stopped in Moe to wash the cars while the others kept going and head home. Ian, Kee, Paul M, James and myself had a break at the Moe playground.
