The flag has dropped.. The Bullshit has stopped... The tour is on....
I have been on the phone this morning ... punching numbers and doing deals with the park managers all over the countryside !!!
The good news is all the parks up to ....an including Yarrawonga Holiday Park have 12 powered sites reserved under "The Vintage Caravan Group"" with my name as a contact if need be.
I have promised them all that we will all have rang and booked our sites no later than end of March.
But as a matter of courtesy can i ask that you get on the phone as soon as possible and make your reservation.
Please find as follows as much info as i can scrape together on each days travel distances, Park contact person and ph number, and sites reserved.
Google the parks and have a look at the park map ( those that include a map) and decide where you would like to be.??
Obviously there is no contact numbers for the free camps... stating the bleeding obviuos arent I. !!
Ok

Catch up with old mates.. Go for a strol up the main street.. Take $50 outta ya wallet and hand the rest to the missus to go shopping... reason i say that is there isnt many if any dress or shoe shops she can blow your hard earned in

As this will probably be the last night of the tour for those from Victoria i suggest we might have a "Dine Out "Meal at the Capri Waters Country Club over at Mulwala.. or maybe Burkes Hotel in Yarrawonga.
Day 8: out of bed.. hook up and start heading home...by this stage of the tour those heading back up north will have a better idea of where they wanna stay for the night and how they are gunna get there... maybe back over to the Hume and up to Gundagai Caravan Park for the night ??
Its your call.
So... get dialling and secure a spot..
Then either phone/email me and let me know what site number your on at each park... or... let us all know on the forum so we know how many are going and what sites are left.
I have done my bit... Dont let the park managers down. Do your bit now .
Reddo
