Comments *

eg: 'Note: Sunset is 7.50pm. Toilet stop at the bottom. On arrival we will reverse our vehicles while light so that we are facing the right way to leave in the dark as there are some very large rocks up there. The plan is to enjoy the sunset from Mt Coree, get some photos, chat and have a coffee then head home in the dark travelling back down as a group. BYO coffee, drinks, food and nibbles; you could even have a BBQ up there as I will be bringing a portable BBQ.'
