Hi Eric,

The twin Caltex Servos are on either side of the F3, just north of Wyong.
We will meet there tomorrow (Thursday) morning (at the Maccas in the Northbound servo) and travel together(ish) up to Lostock.
Usual convoy custom is to chat on the way, on UHF channel 8 (apologies to everyone using that channel on our route).

An advantage is that we all arrive together and can pitch camp in close proximity. Also good for first timers who may be unsure of the way.

As I think you will be arriving a day after us, I don't see much point in you stopping there, unless you need Petrol, a break, or similar.
We generally camp on the lower parking area on the left past the second Scout building.

I'll be in a white Mercedes Sprinter van AR31AX. Same one I had when I visited you in Melbourne. Hope to catch up with you.
