I don't care if it isn't a Mega Event in the end. For mine its enough that a group of dedicated cachers from a reasonably central city has decided to put on a big event and invite people from all over Australia! I'll be there.
Canberra would be fine too but the fact is that its the cachers from Wagga who have got their heads together and are doing the hard yards! (Maybe Canberra next time?)
I'd like to think too that cachers from the likes of WA, SA Qld, and Tassie can be looked after. If they don't want to fly to Wagga maybe they can fly to a closer city and be given a lift? Maybe Big Matt and his bus?
Great stuff Waggarites!

Yep, would be easy for me to attend, will keep it free.
Just a further thought, it won't be a problem for Canberrans, Alburyites etc to just pop over with no real need for accommodation. But I have observed in years past when I have attended the previous GC event in Wagga and when I was passing through in previous years during Easter, I have noticed a couple of Falcon clubs and once a Jaguar event were held in Wagga as an Australian Gathering for these particular clubs. So what I'm saying is, accomodation would need to be positively booked in advance.

Well we are new to australia and probably would plan a trip to Tasmania sometime...I would be in for a WA convoy....how far is it exactly?Two+Four wrote:Woo Hoo, we love road trips. At this stage count us in. We have friends that live in Collingullie (just out of Wagga).
Any other takers from WA? We could form a cachers convoy.
Hi gardengorilla
Just to help (in case something's got confused somewhere along the line, or you are really really new to Australian geography), but the event is going to be in Wagga Wagga, which is in New South Wales (about half way between the big cities of Sydney NSW and Melbourne Victoria, and relatively not far from Canberra, the nation's capital), and this is on the eastern side of Australia but a fair way inland. Tasmania (best spot on the planet) is the beautiful island state to the south of the big bit of Australia ... but the proposed event isn't there. Tassie is sort of the Newfoundland of Australia, and I think I'm entitled to say that as I've lived in both places. Western Australia is way across the western side of the country (think Vancouver, compared to Halifax ... not that Halifax is like Sydney ... although there is a Sydney in Nova Scotia ... but I digress), and it's a tad of a long way to drive, but an adventure in itself. If all this hasn't helped (highly likely), google map it!
Oh, and welcome.
