OK, I reckon that there needs to be a picnic AND a camping event. I still say Bents Basin because of the ability to snorkel and see great herps in the water. And who knows how many sliders we can pull out. Wattomola is also great but I camped there one night and woke up to 4 flat tyres. And Bents Basin is set up as a camping site with facilities. We could easily run a shuttle from Glenfield Station to get people there as well.

This sounds great Peter. I think that this would be the best option. This will suit to people who like to just visit for a day and accommodate people for camping also.. I would love the camping break for my self.

I'll pass on the Brokeback Mountain thing- besides i'm pretty sure we almost saw a version of that at a past party didn't we Dan?

Bents Basin is a top place.

[gillsy]

Don't we tell you to get on your bike enough.

 

[gillsy]

Beside that, alot of people don't have transport so it would be a nice idea to have somewhere accessible by public transport.

 

[RevDaniel]

Will be a great day where ever we go.

LOL, yes, but mine does have a seat......:shock: :lol:
