Harper River – Hamilton Hut

Saturday 12 September
Trip Leader: Godfrey
Trip Grade: 3+

Meeting Point:
10:00am at the intersection of Homestead Road and Algidus Road, Lake Coleridge.

This trip will head up the Harper River toward Hamilton Hut.

The main purpose of the trip is to spread the ashes of Graham Pullman, a well-respected club member and friend to many in the 4WD community. Godfrey has been coordinating with former club members and other clubs, so we may end up with quite a large convoy.

The Harper is generally a straightforward drive, but there are a few larger boulders in the river that have a habit of catching people out.

Requirements

  • Snorkel recommended
  • Recovery gear required
  • Suitable recovery points front and rear

Plan

We'll make our way up the Harper River to the Hamilton Hut area where we will gather to remember Graham and spread his ashes.

Afterwards we'll head back out the river.

Overnight Option

For those wanting to make a weekend of it, the plan is to head into the Avoca River for camping on Saturday night and then drive out on Sunday.

Notes

Expect:

  • River crossings
  • Rocky riverbed driving
  • Great scenery
  • A chance to catch up with old friends and club members

This will be as much about remembering Graham as it is about the drive itself.
