Hey Alan, see my post above about the Nelson Kywong caravan park .

I mentioned they have a heap of room available. No dramas at all

I did see it but after I posted .........so now I have to change the GPS......

[Nigel]

OK, so are you guys booking at the caravan park? or the pub ?

I had planned to book at the Park as there are those that will be camping. Thanks Nigel......

[StinkyPete]

OK, so are you guys booking at the caravan park? or the pub ?

I plan on camping at the Caravan Park, but will book closer to the time.

Email response from the Kywong park

An overnight stay should be fine without a booking then especially for unpowered sites, and probably for powered sites as well as long as you don’t have a particularly large van.


I'm not sure at the moment whether we camp or have night of luxury in a cabin.



 

[Marcus]

I purposely failed to tell them we're a bike club. I just said a group of guys

Yup book your own. Unless you want to share with someone

[Kev Murphy]

Will make a show and meet some of you guys, but just a day trip for me from Portland .... have to get home to feed my cats

Hi Kev,

Welcome aboard. We have the same issue with animals (4 legged type) so we leave enough out for an overnight stay.

[Kev Murphy]

Might be able to get a friend to feed them, if so I will camp over

[alans1100]

I'm looking at possible route options for the return trip as I'll be taking the most direct route which is 700 km on the way there. Thinking have to get up (5am) in the middle of the night for this one.

[Kev Murphy]

Warning for everyone travelling to Nelson, be careful travelling near forest plantations, lots of roos and emus in this area.

Have I missed anyone?   If so, add your name to the list.
Attendees need to make your own accommodation arrangements with the Caravan Park.
If you have booked a cabin with a spare bed that you're prepared to share, perhaps you could post it here.

[Gordo]

Just booked my site.  Really looking forward to this.

[TouriSTs]

Count me in, too!

[Kev Murphy]

Only 3 weeks away, now.

I must STress for all to take care around Pine Plantations when approaching Nelson from any direction ... lots of roos and emus, especially dawn and dusk, but also daylight hours as well.
I was in Nelson yesterday, and counted 17 roos, 3 emus between 2-3 pm on the way back to Portland. Probably just as many on the Mt Gambier side...

[Marcus]

Gah. That reminds me I need to book

[Kev Murphy]

That's why I went there yesterday... I don't have, or use a credit card... cash up front for me.

 Is anyone bringing any Ozstoc shop stuff for sale at the meet?, caps?, shirts? etc

[Marcus]

Sure will, if you let me know what you want I'll make sure I have it packed
