Once the word was out that Rob and Carol were visiting South Australia during May 2012 the planning for a suitable “meet” commenced!  It was then with very great pleasure that our few South Australian members were able to meet both of them and the other inter-state members.

I am pleased to report that the camper trailer “meet” at Princess Royal Station via Burra, South Australia was a great success.

activities

Twenty-four people from as far away as Sydney and the Mornington Peninsula and with a variety of “camper rigs”, attended over the full four days of an extended weekend.

Highlights of the weekend for the group included exploring the heritage sites around Burra with the aid of the Burra Passport and a walk through the Red Banks Conservation Park, well known for the recent mega fauna discoveries.

Back at camp, happy hour as the sun set, the camp fire with camp ovens cooking were the order of the day.
