NATIONAL GET-TOGETHER

G'day Baz, it's a good idea to have a national gathering, but I was wondering whether it would be better to lean a bit more towards the west, say the Alice, that would give it a more of a central meeting point.

Otherwise a great idea.

Having been involved in choosing the location of where we would hold our Bushtracker Caravan rallies for the last 2 years, the 1st was at Cania Gorge QLD with 23 vans, and the one this September was at Copeton Dam, near Inverell NSW with 67 vans. (Able to handle a large number of camps, and staff are very helpful with group booking discounts.)

I think that any rally has to be at a caravan park so as to be able to handle Hygiene needs of a large number of people. We had considered outback locations but there are not many places that can handle large numbers of people. At Birdsville they would have everything well organised for September Races, but may not be able to cope the rest of the time. 4WD organisations promote the Tread Lightly theme and a group like this would want to promote our respect for the outback as well.

Just something to keep in mind.

As a carry on to the post above, perhaps check with Ruth at Birdsville to see how many in July the caravan park can handle???

Baz, I have replied on the trip gathering page, 05 suits us at this stage although work committments msay come into it. I will know definitely way ahead of time though.

Baz,

Love the self portrait mate behind the Gatling gun. The date you give us is difficult at financial year end and start.............
