G'day Aus-kiwi, I've been meaning to go to Bathurst for years, never made it as yet !!

Tell me, how much do they flog you to camp there for the weekend,?

I like your motor home, had a Coaster at one stage but, got rid of it after a trip from Perth to S.A.

too under powered and slow with a 4 pot petrol motor, took us 8 days to do the trip, one way.

Our 1977 Toyota Coaster 004.jpg

This is the Old Girl, a 1977 Model, long gone now, never again, I'll stick to Caravan's thanks. hmm hmm hmm

It's $400 for all 4 of us including tickets .. Tuesday to Monday..
This is booked annually (10 years) up the top at Read pk..

howdy aus-kiwi,

HMMM, I'll have to stick a few bob in the kitty before we do that trip, what with another couple of thou $$$$ added for fuel, it's going to be rather expensive race meeting.

How do you do the bookings, on the computer ?

We have first bid on the site.. Needless to say we keep it paid up..
Over 200,000 visitors this year.. The camping and entertainment is an additive to the racing through the day..
Very well mannered now.. Compared to when it was sponsored by Tooheys..
Some characters up there.. Sites set up every year like country taverns .. All good..
