Hello fellow travellers , We are organising a gathering at the above festival ( thank you Tony for the suggestion) . Group bookings open in March and I will need an idea of approx number of attendees to advise event organisers. Some information is as follows - Camping on site from Wed 27th to Monday 1st August . If you stay 1 night or 5 nights the fee is the same. - NO powered sites , generators permitted 7am to 8pm - Water taps located around grounds , No hook-up is permitted. - Dump point at Tara Lagoon Parklands next to festival site - Pets permitted on leash in camp ground only , not in festival site unless pet is a camel. Once approx. numbers are known event organisers will allocate the group a code to enable each of us to make the booking. So it would be appreciated if people would reply below (or FB page post) with their intention to attend this festival with the KOG. This is a bi-annual event and last festival had approx. 3000 attendees. Cost of the festival will be approx. $200 for the 5 nights and for all festival event entries. Please refer to their web site www.tarafestival.com.au Regards Rod Lee

GUM TREE LODGE & BUSH CAMP, HOWARD HEIGHTS ROAD HOWARD, QUEENSLAND FRIDAY 28th - MONDAY 31st MAY 2021 Pack up your van and come join us at Gum Tree Lodge at Howard. (Check them out on Wiki Camps or their Facebook page) This is a lovely bush camp for the over 50's in self contained vans. Sorry, but they do not have any facilities for children. However George (the owner) does have a great selection of classic cars and caravans, and of course there is George's Diner. I have reserved some powered sites for us, but there are also unpowered sites available. There is good Telstra Reception, Open fire pits, Nice walks, Dump point, Pet Friendly Howard is a lovely historic town, not far from Childers, Hervey Bay and Maryborough to name a few. There is a pub, butcher, bakery, coffee shop, IGA, and the popular Van Cootens Drapery store, this is one for the craft ladies. There is so much material, patchwork fabric packed in a smallish shop. Well worth the visit just to have a look. I was thinking we could have a meal at the pub and they will send their courtesy bus to pick us up and return us to the park. If you would like that please indicate and we can organize something for the Saturday night. Have I got you interested, but you want to know the cost!!! Powered sites are $30 pn If you stay 4 nights you pay for 3 You can pay on arrival by card or cash. There is no need to contact the park direct. For any further information please phone me on 0428 997 096. Sandra and Clive

Attention all financial members, I wish to inform you that the Kedron Owners Group AGM will be held 9:00am Sunday 24th January 2021 at Rod & Jewel’s Australia Day Gathering 100 Kilkivan Tansey Rd, Kilkivan. Qld. Your committee felt that this would be an appropriate time to hold this meeting due to the fact we had to cancel the proposed November AGM due to COVID. The positions of President, Vice President & Secretary/Treasurer are open for nominations. Your current president is definitely stepping down this year. PLEASE do consider standing for one of these positions, it is extremely rewarding and takes a VERY minimal amount of time & effort to carry out. Rob & Jewel’s have been very gracious in allowing us to have this short meeting during this gathering. For those members who weren’t aware of this gathering can I suggest you checkout the Trips & Gatherings page, there are already 20 plus vans attending, it would be great to see you there. Regards & travel safe Tony Heat
