Thx Susan.  Would be great for Zack and Coby to hangout.

Sounds like an awesome weekend.

I would have my own power and even toilet.  We can bring our own drinking water as well as food. Any rubbish returns home with me.  If something went wrong, I'd just bugger off to Gympie.  LOL.

Hi everyone.  Well the driveway is now in so we will be able to get onto the property at least :).  I am thinking about around the weekend of the 20th but that is not set in stone yet as I have my 40th to organise.  I am more than happy if people want to camp provided you understand how primitive the accomodations are - no water as yet except creek (fine for bathing but not drinking) and no toilet other than our pit latrine.  I have solar on the van so if you need to recharge electronics, that should be fine.  I will make sure we have plenty of fire wood for a good old campfire that night. We do have a nice little servo/grocery store that is pretty extensive for food/takeaway if you didn’t want to do a cookout and they’re a great little port of call for coffee and breaky in the morning. Becky, zack would love to have your son to hang out with. 

In terms of local accommodation, it is fairly limited.  There is the Theebine hotel which we love and we might want to do either dinner or lunch there.  I think from their website they have about 5 rooms.  I’ll have a look what else is available.  

Gympie has some gorgeous Sunday morning markets to check out and if weorganise it well, we could think about hitting greenharvest at Maleny on the way up to Glenwood on the Saturday (open every 3rd Saturday from 8 am to 12. ).  

It takes about 2hrs 15 min from my place in Wynnum  to get there sans traffic.

Hi Dianne and Susan,

After reading Andy's request, camping it for us might be a possibility and more freasible for us too if Paul is well enough and also if it is ok with Susan.

Bye for now,

Becky

Good Morning Becky, No we won't be doing the accommodation side of things that is up to the participants as there is so many different kinds of accommodation and everyone likes something different. I will ask Susan to put in the name of the town that her property is actually in, so you can begin your investigation. There will be plenty of info on the web. Hope you all can make it.

Hey Susan.  I'd like to camp on your plot.  I intend to be completely self sufficient and off-grid: right down to power, toilet, water and food.

Hi Susan,

Will someone be collating info regarding the accommodation?

Depending on costs, Paul and I (maybe 1 or 5 of my children too) would love to come.

Cheers,

Becky

Looking forward to a more distant visit, I think the area is called Glenwood which is about 40k just north of Gympie.
