Thought we should start discussing a suitable location.
I will put up Echuca, Victoria, no particular reason other than it looks to be in a good area.
Oh, and I'm not organising it.

Jervis Bay is a beautiful part of the world. Unfortunately, Huskisson has morphed from a sleepy little settlement to a prime tourist location and accommodation is limited and rather expensive. Having said that the general area could be worth looking into. Nowra as a base????

Far south coast of NSW and great riding. Lets see other suggestions and get a majority opinion so we can lock it in. There are also Big 4 Caravan Parks which are well priced and have cabins and good big bbq areas.
Time to plan....

I am in where ever we decide to have it.
or even one in the Hawkesbury would be great too.

Geez the way you guys were knocking back the shots late Friday night one would think money wasn't a object
Anywhere on south coast NSW to Lakes Entrance VIC is fine by me and being closer might entice a few more Mexicans to attend

| | Posted : 05 Nov 2015 - 08:35 Post title : Re: 2016 October Flocking Aus (TB1600) (Re: nelson) | | | I like Pambula. Pretty spot. Big 4 Pambula might be good for accommodation. Great riding including the Bombala loop Smitty, Bussa and I did on the way to Cann River for the Bright flocking. Mt Imlay road......mmmmmmm......that road reminded my why I bought a T'Bird. You couldn't have wiped the smile off my face with a shovel after we did that run.
I know this is in the general geographic vicinity of the Jindabyne flocking (In terms of the Aus continent) but it is coastal rather than alpine and there should be no crossover in rides as Jindy will have us cruising the Snowy Mountain Highway and other awesome alpine roads, including the Snowy Mts National Park run up to Charlottes Pass.

If the consensus is for Pambula/Merimbula/Tathra area I will put my hand up to organise and see best places to stay etc. Know the area as I have clients in the region and will do a recce and find a couple of sneaky rides.
I guess we need to get the majority to rule where we go.

The dates sound good as that is the Melbourne cup weekend and some of us mexicans get a 4 day weekend.
