There will be a get together of all interested nomads and/or their friends at Ariah Park Recreation Reserve #965 in CAW#6 commencing Sunday, 15th April, 2012
Ariah Park is a camp spot 33ks East of Ardlethan or 39ks West of Temora and 1k off the Highway.
Showers and power are available for a fee - $10pn, pay for two get one free but if you were self contained the power, at least, could be left for those that need it.
The co=ordinated are 34 21 08 S and 147 13 09 E.
There are toilets, shower and power as I said above also water, shade, picnic tables, Wood BBQ's = fire bans permitting and IS PET FRIENDLY.
So far there will be six of us attending.
How long we stay is open at this stage and is up to the individual.
They say that the pub does a great baked dinner on a Sunday night for $10.
Also if you pay for power and amenities, which are quite modern and clean you also have access to the washing machine for free.
All we have to do now if pray for the rain to stop so we can all get there.
Let me know if you might come along. All the more the merrier.

If it turns out to be like the one we had in Mudgee a few years ago it will be great. We had a ball and when we arrived not one of us knew the other but that changed quick smart. Happy hours were indeed happy.
Just because Ma is no longer on nomads doesn't mean any of the information on the first post has changed. The get together at Ariah Park, and the trip to Darwin and the west coast is still a goer.

Due to the amount of water around and over Ariah Park, and predictions that it may stay around for some time, the place of meet has been relocated to the Temora Airfield Caravan Park. $25 a night powered site, unpowered sites cheaper.
Which, as an ex RAAFie, is ideal for me as there is the aviation museum adjacent to the caravan park and lots of old airplanes (two of which I worked on back when Pontius was an air cadet and JC played halfback for jerusalem).

Ariah park is great place to camp, Temora (whole town) is not dog friendly.
If any of you on your way to Darwin are coming through Parachilna SA, please call in - we will be working at the camp grounds beside the pub.
In the past seven years I have stayed at the airport at Temora around 30 times. I had a permanent booking for every weekend they had flying. I disagree with the claim that the airport site is not pet friendly, there were dogs all over the place and the owners of the dogs followed the dog rules.
Not sure about the caravan park on the Junee side of Temora, although it is run by the same people.

I can't comment on the caravan parks, only the parks. We searched high and low for a park where we could stop for lunch. Everyone we visited displayed a sign saying NO ANIMALS, unless it is a GUIDE DOG. As a responsible dog owner, we also follow the dog rules, walk him on a lead and pick up after him.
We drove out of town and sat in the car for lunch.

Guest list getting longer. Roll call good so far. Although no planes are" öfficially" listed as flying, there is a good chance that there may be a test flight of a warbird.

haven't been to anything like this, sounds like fun, if I can get Hobie out of his big recliner chair I'll see if we can make it, as we are newbies is there anything extra we need to know or do about joining in, I've figured out for myself that the kayaks won't work on an airstrip so we may not pack them! looking forward to lots of laughs cheers venus
maybe no bells
