Bicentennial National Trail - Lets do it

by Helen
(Australia)

Are there any others out there with a desire to do a trip along the Bicentennial Trail? Preferably I'd do it on horse back with minimal gear. I should mention that I do not intend to do the entire trail.

If anyone is interested please get in touch. My email address is helenblyth@yahoo.com.au

hi Helen,

My name is Rick Page and i am currently living in southern Queensland. have spent the last 15 years of my life organising long distance trail rides in africa and europe on horses. i saw your post about the bicentennial trail with minimal gear. i would be interested to hear your plans as i quite fancy it myself although i am nt sure minimal gear is possible because of the needs of the horses. What did you have in mind?

Cheers,

Rick

I am orgainsing a trip up the trail starting at healsville we are going to see how far we can get in a month we are doing it to rais funds for the breast cancer foundation. We have pack horses and all our own gear if you wanted to join us you would have to supply all your own horses and pack saddle gear... but i'm sure we can work something out so we don't ahve to double up on gear.
if your interested let me know you can contact me at ellie_neff@hotmail.com

Not sure how old your posts are about the national trail, but if they are recent ie 2010, I am getting together a trip in April, but still looking for gear. If anyone is interested in joining in or would like to sell or hire pack saddles or any other gear, please email me at ckedz@bigpond.com

The Entire Trail
by: Chyna

Hi! I'm hoping to travel the entire length of the horse trail in October, 2011 (originally it was in Oct 2010, but I sustained a back injury which has deferred my plans). I'm hoping to raise funds for the KidsHelpLine counselling telephone service, and intend to draw media attention (local, national and international)in cooperation with the government Tourism to the BNT as an option for travellers. Hopefully it will increase govt funding to update the condition of the BNT, whilst providing increased employment opportunities to horse related industries along the trail. eg. farriers, breeders, trainers, saddle makers, vets, etc. If anyone is interested in travelling all or part of the trail with me, I would be interested in hearing from you. Otherwise, happy trails! :)

I had not idea that so many people had responded to the advert I put on - ages ago.
I was expecting people to reply to my email address and heard from no-one. So update. I have not left yet. Maybe in 2011 -
