Ok, its time to stop stuffing around.
I propose that the 2012 gathering be held in Victoria at
Talbotville
in the week beginning monday the 16th April.
2012 is a long way away and none of us can be sure
of where we will be then so I personnaly think a gathering shouldn't be
finalized sooner than a year before it is held.
But also a gathering shouldn't be held unless it has widespread bi-partisan
support (Code - for a group organizing not just 1 or 2)
Some Logic for the above.
It will be time for Victoria to hold one.
This venue is a very large
free camping area surrounded by a river
which can accomodate 100+ vehicles.
Its still warm in April with low rainfall.
The time suggested is after Victorian school holidays
but within the holiday periods of NSW,SA,WA (Not Qld).
This is important as it guarantees accessibility and gives time for
interstaters to get
home.
Accessible by 2 wheel drive, camper trailers ok, (caravans are a push)
In state
forrest, stacks of bush and fires and dogs ok.
Surrounded by an unparalled selection of 4wd tracks of all levels.
Rivers are low, tracks not yet slippery and great drives can be had without
feeling intimidated.
Just the drive in, is a visual experience via the steep winding but 2wd road.
4 long drop loo's, seem to handle 100 people ok (at a push).
Safe mines and lots of
walking tracks to explore , even canoe a river.
Other advantages - no tap
water or power, plenty of river
water.
45 mins to
Dargo town for basic supplies, also makes for a night out at a great pub.
Dargo has bookable accomondation, wineries and all the usual stuff of a one horse town.
