I'm not sure if this has ever been successful, I know in the past it has been attempted.

So, a camping trip, for Australian FP members.

Rules:
Not sure on the rules so far, probably will be similar to the UK and US camping trips though. Hopefully with copious amounts of booze, and if so inclined, illicit substances.

For ages, I'm going to put my foot down and demand a 16+ rule and the bare minimum, maybe 18+ plus if everyone agrees. Possibly 16+ with 16 and 17yos being vouched by an 18+ FP user, or a long standing 16 or 17yo FP user?

Location:
Location is also not set, but I'd be inclined to somewhere along the lines of central NSW or northern Victoria. Mostly because it's pretty close to most Australians. Sorry those from WA, you will probably miss out. If someone knows anyone who has a farm or something in that area we could camp on would be pretty sweet, shoot me a pm, if not, I guess we could camp in a national park or something.

Rides:
To copy Camp Facepunch. If you're in the area, and have space, give people a ride. They have to pay their share of the fuel though

Date:
Probably just before Summer, maybe before Christmas?

So; any improvements, criticism etc?

Addition 8/7/12:

Don't moan about how you can't go

Addition 9/7/12:

Alright, if you interested in going, send me a PM and I'll add you to the maybe list. When we have a location and a date I'll send another out confirming it

Maybe Going: - PM me

[LuaChobo]

not going to be able to make it then

[Hana-San]

How long will it be for?
A weekend?

And maybe find out an area that is easy to get to and the regulations of the area.

[Pat.Lithium]

I'm going to Sydney to a big new years party, so the end of the year/January next year would be sweet. If we can get enough people to go I'm down.

Nothing is set as of yet, how do people like the sound of 3 days?

[Super_Poo]

18+ because I'd be getting drunk.

[WubWubWompWomp]

Fuck yeah nigga.

Edited:

Should be 16+, but keep the alcohol away from minors.

Edited:

UnLess they bring their own

Probably a good idea if minors don't get alcohol. Should be 18+ anyway. It's kinda creepy to have little people around.

Ever watch the show on channel 9 when they tell stories about tourist gone missing or campers being shot? Forgot the name but yeah, when I went camping I always got paranoid thanks to it

You're all gonna get murdered by John Jarratt

[MuTAnT]

I'd maybe be interested in this, depending if I can get some time off work when this is down and if I'm even able to make it.

[Super_Poo]

I know a good little place up the mountains.

I really don't have a problem with under 18s drinking, I'm just not buying it for them

[Faren]

I'll bring the illicit substances

Kidding, get your own.

Edited:

Anyway I'm under 18 and I'd be able to supply my own drinks if I went, no problems.

[Super_Poo]

DRINKING COMP WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

[Camp er Joe]

If there's enough people sure, I'd go.

[WubWubWompWomp]

I'd defs come, and anyway, I look 18.

I don't have a problem with responsible under 18s, you've been a member here for 6 years, and you haven't been banned, thus proving responsibility

[Rain [Amber]]

Let's do it WA and rough it in the outback because I can't afford a plane ticket :'D

No but seriously are there even that many facepunchers in WA?

I'll sit in the old caravan out the backyard by myself with a candle and talk to myself in a mirror for 2-3 days.

[Novangel]

Over 18 too.

You will need to organise that with someone closer to the time I assume.
After someone decides where this could be held.

I'm waiting for location suggestions. I don't know Victoria or NSW well, as I live in Adelaide

Hurr, I made a joke about Australia, how original

[DireAvenger]

I have a feeling that even if I was eligible to go on this trip, at some point someone or myself would likely get raped.

[Devodiere]

it depends on if you want to have it in vic, nsw or somewhere between the two so both can come. probably won't have the numbers if it's only one but then it's a pain to drive there.

easy solution, informative for vic only, useful for nsw only, friendly for inbetween

Depends how far you want to go and such.
And it needs to be easily accessible too.

You don't necessarily need booze to go camping.

"Hey, of course you can go camping in the bush with a group of people you've met off the internet. We'd be bad parents NOT to let you go."
