The MOA regularly has events that allow members to get out and enjoy their vehicles with the other members by way of day drives, static displays, weekends away and community service events. In most cases potential members are welcome to join the club on these outings however for public liability reasons certain events like the annual Make-a-Wish day is for members only.
Adele and I are organising a MOA trip to East Gippsland over the Labour Day long weekend in March (10th-12th). I shall have more details of the trip & meeting point etc. in the February edition of Tracks, but the plan at the moment is Saturday, head to Blores Hill Camping Ground near Glenmaggie via lots of back roads (North of Highway). Blores Hill has tent camping or 15 bunkhouse cabins, so no need to take all gear if you choose a cabin. Heyfield & Maffra are nearby which have the usual food shops, pubs etc.
If you were to believe the promotion of this trip you would be thinking it is too difficult for the current day Solo Man, Bear Grylls, to tackle and he is peeing himself so much he needs to drink it through his socks. However he doesn't have a Moke and you do so why not come out and experience another aspect of Moking, the adventurous bush drive just out of Melbourne.
I am told the official invite is coming from the South Australia Moke Club to attend the Black Cockatoo Bush camp again with them this year for Easter. Some of us attended in 2010 and it was a great weekend and quite a civilised bush camp with proper running water, hot showers and sewerage connected toilets just over the border at Naracoorte
