Accommodation

Because of the quality of the proposed events, the significanse of the reunion and the number attending, it is strongly recommended that attendees book their accommodation from the Tuesday 28th October till Sunday 2nd November 2008 inclusive. We have found that the local Caravan Park and Motel have had at least 75% of their accommodation booked from the previous years but  there is always plenty of room on the oval with out power (generators OK). Charges for the oval are $5.00 per person per night. This charge covers the printing of stationary and administration costs associated with the reunion.

Who can attend?
This reunion is open to all Veterans of all Conflicts. This years reunion is planned to be the largest reunion outside of Anzac Day anywhere in Australia.
