Hi all,

I'd like to know from you experienced cruisers out there - will you be using CB radios during this cruise?  In your opinions, do you think I will feel left out of it if I don't have one?

I'm thinking of getting one - maybe a 5W Uniden UH075 as per advice from other threads.

Thanks.

Yeah we do use hand held CB's on the day, just helps when a large cruise gets split up at the lights or so on. I dont think you will feel left out if you dont have one, but they are handy to have, a good giggle with other members and a great warning method of traffic hazards or speed cameras. :spoton:

Bugger, if only the new BF XR6T was going to ready one week earlier for me to pick up I'd be all for going on a cruise, guess I'll just have to wait for the next one.

Do you guys do them regularly I.e. monthly?

o.k boys after watching all the squabbling and not enough XR6T`s I have called on a mate to bring his xr6T as well.

So put us down for Stang Ba XR6T and FordT6 Ba Xr6T ,also jumped on the net and this is what I got please read below as copied from the wilsons promontry website.

How to Get There

The 200 km drive from Melbourne via the South Gippsland Highway, turning south at Meeniyan and Fish Creek, or Foster, takes about 3 hours. Tidal River (Vic Roads Touring Guide: 102-C7), where the main visitor facilities are, is 30 km inside the park boundary. Limited public transport is available.

Contact Details

To book accommodation or campsites at Tidal River

Phone: 1800 350 552 or 61+3 5680 9555

Postal Address: Wilsons Promontory Park Office Tidal River VIC AUSTRALIA 3960

Annual Parks Passes and Multi Day Parks Passes are available for Wilsons Promontory National Park. These can save entry fee costs for regular users, local residents and interstate visitors. Further information is available here.

Accessibility

Special Needs Access Rating: 4 out of 6

Tidal River: Visitor Centre and Accommodation

The Visitor Centre at Tidal River offers good informative displays about the park, and is generally an accessible building. Car parking is good, and includes designated accessible spaces. The most accessible accommodation options are George Robinson (small group lodge), Baldwin Spencer (large group lodge), Wirilda Cabins, She-Oak Cabins and Dannevig motor huts.

Tidal River: Camping and Picnic Areas

The camping area is large, and has designated accessible facilities at the West Block. The area is mostly flat. Loo-Errn Track is the most accessible of the tracks leading from this site, and has been designed to enhance access for all abilities to some of the park's natural features.

Lilly Pilly Gully

A walking track with a boardwalk about half way along the track that offers a high level of accessibility to visitors with a disability. A recent upgrade has increased the overall accessibility of the track, and includes an accessible toilet at the car park. The track links back to Tidal River via a footbridge.

Squeaky Beach

Squeaky Beach is one of the more accessible beaches of the Prom, although the access path has some obstacles such as sand and moderate slopes. There is a recently installed composting toilet with an access ramp between the car park and the beach. fence.

Telegraph Saddle

The lookout at Telegraph Saddle is reasonably accessible, with only a slight step onto the timber platform, but it lacks a continuous approach path. Walking tracks from this site are narrow and rocky, and traverse varied, often steep, terrain. They are generally inaccessible to people with a disability. No drinking water is available.

Darby River and Millers Landing

The bank of the Darby River is near the car park. The walking track to the beach has some sections of rough or steep terrain, making access difficult. The track from the Millers Landing Carpark to Millers Landing is being upgraded to meet access standards. When complete, the Millers Landing walk will be an excellent accessible feature at the Prom.
