One person $3 per night book in advance and have funds in the CMCA Booking Fund. I think Bundy has 50 sites available.

You need to be a member of CMCA to stop there.

No & your rig needs to be fully self contained & you a member to use CMCA sites - some sites will have grey water portable totes available but you should have a shut off valve on your grey water outlet to use one. - dump points are nearby or on site. - Annual membership is currently $44 + a once off $16.50 joining fee.

You can install a shutoff valve yourself - measure the opening of your grey water outlet & obtain a shut off valve to fit along with a suitable hose clamp - purchased ours from hardware store & a fitting to suit our 40lt portable tank - If you intend using a tank supplied by a CMCA site you would need to enquire with them regarding the fittings required to suit.

Yer thanks for that. I did that when I made up connections for my two sullage outlets to a tote tank, but I am not sure if it meets the CMCA specs.
So next time that I'm at the big green shed I'll get a valve for each of my feeds from shower, sink & vanity.
Unfortunately I can't fit in a single one for shower & vanity & the van uses two outlet pipes, in part to eliminate backflow issues, so I'll have to put up with 3 C/O valves which is a bit of a PITA.
Of course I could re route the waste pipes & put in a couple of hepvo valves but it's much cheaper & easier to use the 3 valves.
But as you imply, it is an easy & rather cheap DIY job.
Looks like we may eventually have to join CMCA to take advantage of their member benefits & to do our bit in contributing to the good work that they do.

The CMCA have camping at the old showgrounds site in Burrum Street, Bundaberg which is walking distance to Hinkler Place Shopping Centre in the middle of town. However, I believe there still is a 24hr camping area at the new showgrounds near the airport and university. This is also a reasonable easy walk to the Stockland (Sugarland) Shopping Centre and the Brothers Sports Club. Hope this info helps

Yes, complicated in that there are 3 valves rather than just one where the van is set up for a single waste outlet.
In any case this thread got me up off my ass today and I went down to Bunnings & got 3 valves for $24 & installed them in less than 1 hour.
