Title: 2017 National Rally Location - Released
Post by: ST2UP on March 13, 2016, 08:54:37 AM
The location for the 2017 National Rally to be held on the 20-23 October 2017 is.........WOOLI


(http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q717/ST2UP/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-03/4AFD684E-FF7F-46AB-9F70-3005956F50C8_zpsz7kjccbi.jpg) (http://s1355.photobucket.com/user/ST2UP/media/Mobile%20Uploads/2016-03/4AFD684E-FF7F-46AB-9F70-3005956F50C8_zpsz7kjccbi.jpg.html)

This is going to be a Rally with a number of differences......while the main cruxed of the event will be the winning formula developed by OzSTOC and it various National Rally teams the biggest change for 2017 will be the Location......


In previous years we have utilised locations that were on the verge of cities or in large regional locations where the dollars we as a group bought to that centre really didn't make a difference to that area's economy. That is to change for 2017 for this small town.

Wooli is a very small town located between Grafton and Coffs Harbour on the NSW Northcoast alongside the Wooli river. It has all the essential ingredients to be an awesome rally venue......but with a number of twists that will be revealed as the year progresses. The region is enriched with some of Australia's premier Motorcycling roads in the Waterfall way, Oxley, Gwydir and Bruxner Highways and a multitude of ancillary roads. This gives attendees so many options  ;-*

Your National Rally team has already been selected and are committed to your NatRally experience.



As Daryl Eastlake says........"It's going to be HUUUUGE !!"

These OZSTOC Rallies just keep getting better (not that there was anything wrong with all the others- just the organisers keep outdoing each other!)

Just up the road is Minnie Water which over a decade ago, Dezohn and I discovered a huge native bee hive in the caves of the cliff, the entrance is/was below high tide. In curious to go back and see if it still exists.

Roughly 3800 km round trip for me if I follow this idea http://goo.gl/maps/BbTT6mYNmEQ2 (http://goo.gl/maps/BbTT6mYNmEQ2) Just something to work on over the next year or so.

Awesome job guys  :-++, loved the rally on the weekend (my first, but definitely not my last!). Gives me something to aim for next year...and a good chance to catch up with some old friends as well since Jo (my wife) and I used to live in Coffs Harbour back in the early 90's  :runyay. It will be nice 8,700km round trip (approx.) if we can make it.

Post by: STroppy on March 14, 2016, 08:00:04 PM
A mere 2100 k round trip for me, hope it won't be a hot one like this nearly 8,000 k one to Perth n back.
Title: Re: 2017 National Rally Location - Released
Post by: Kev Murphy on March 14, 2016, 08:16:38 PM
Around 3600k there and back for me, I hope I can make the trip.

Planning is under way.

Which Peterborough turn off and there's more than one plus someone didn't put their planned ride route up.

The Big4 website opens up ok ( http://www.big4.com.au/caravan-parks/nsw/north-coast/solitary-islands-resort (http://www.big4.com.au/caravan-parks/nsw/north-coast/solitary-islands-resort) )  but the other park site takes forever - but found some info here ( http://www.goseeaustralia.com.au/caravan_park/nsw/wooli/4637/wooli_caravan_and_camping_park/accommodation/ (http://www.goseeaustralia.com.au/caravan_park/nsw/wooli/4637/wooli_caravan_and_camping_park/accommodation/) ) and based on price is where I'd stay.

Wow guys this looks like a great venue/event. I would love to come but I will not be on a Honda. I am currently awaiting delivery of a new 6 speed FJR Yamaha, having traded the ST. I was texting Chris (ST2UP)  the other day, re another matter and told him I would no longer be active on the forum(not that I really have been), Chris suggested that selling my ST would not preclude me from joining the fine company of this forum's members. I thought this was a really nice sentiment and realised that it does not matter what bike each of us is riding.So if nobody objects too strongly, I will try and come along on this run. Thanks everyone..

We will indeed announce the venue soon......your National Rally team is already in planning mode and has their own "Private Lounge" within the forum where all manner of National Rally discussions and planning are taking place.

Safe to say there are some new and exciting rally concepts being discussed by the team  :popcorn

Google will get a couple of caravan parks.   Will also get a two or three bedroom holiday house for two or three nights, which may be an option.  May be accommodate three to six, possibly more, sharing costs could be around $40 to $50 per head per night.

Just done Bundaberg - Sydney - Melbourne - Bundaberg so included diversion to Wooli to check it out (also the surrounding roads to scope interesting routes to and from!).  Excellent choice by NSW organisers, looking forward to it.  I can see myself relaxing by the water already........

Not sure on the return route as yet as I might make it a week or longer holiday just for my self ...... or I might pick up one of the kids at a suitable airport for a shorter ride home with them.

Your 2017 National Rally Organizing team are at Wooli this weekend. We have secured some deals to really wet your appetite for this rally......loads of hard accommodation options from budget onwards.....and the campers haven't been forgotten either. The savings are coming at us from a number of angles.... and will blow you away....... :hatwave

The team are really impressed with the offerings on site and we have our own BIG4 event coordinator who is putting in the hard yards to show case their park and their community .....
