Keep in touch closer the time, i really struggle to plan that far ahead with the drugs...sorry mean work, Really good idea to have a car when your there as its not usually windy every day but when it is..........hippa
If you could get three or four and a camper van would that work.

I think the caravan park might have closed down (for subdivision!).

Last year a few groups of guys shared houses for the two weeks during Al's Speed Fortnight. Depending on the size of the house, it costs about $100 or so per person, per week.

For example, this house holds 10 people, for $800 per week:

Anyone interested?

Note that you probably dont want to stay in the caravan park - it can get pretty cold. Also, when it blows -> everything gets flattened, especially tents.

Hey Matthew, I am keen to book ahead, so yeah Im in depending on how many other put their hands up. I could probably justify half the entire cost if I had too thou, stills makes for a reasonably cheep holiday.

Ill be driving down from Brisbane probably leaving on the Sat 29th Sept and coming back on 11th or 12th Oct. I will have room for atleast one other person if anyone is interested. No trailer, only roof racks on a 4x4 thou.

Cheers
