After great success at the National Gatherings at St George, Trilby Station, and Ross River, I am keen to run another National Gathering, this time in South West Queensland.
I have been in discussions with Toni at Kilcowera Station (also a Business Member) and they are keen to allow us to base the National Gathering there.

Some details from Toni -
"we have a large campground where we could put 30 or so vehicles maybe more. Also camping alongside the lagoon another 30 or so. Plenty of room. We also have accommodation for 17.”
Having now negotiated a cost for the camping fee's, they are as follows -
$25 per vehicle per night for camping, this is regardless of whether there is 1 or 6 in the car and includes use of the Shearers Quarters amenities.
Limited powered sites are available for a further $5 per night per vehicle.
Guests are able to plug in their phones, cameras etc and charge them up at the Shearers quarters at no charge.
The accommodation is $45 per person per night.
Again there will be a catered dinner for attendee's on the Wednesday night, please indicate if you wish to attend at time of booking in with Toni, not just on this page - 3 courses for $35 and under 12’s $25 per head.
They have a large outdoor area where we set up our tables and chairs for dinners. This same area is near to the fire pit and has lighting for evening activities.
Again as per previous Gathering please bring a raffle prize to be used in the daily raffles, money raised will be given to a charity.
Update April 2018 -
I have now secured the wonderful and talented Jan Ferguson (the artist who paints the Photo Comp winning entry) to join us at the Gathering. Jan will be available for members to have some lessons for $25 per person, or she may (time permitting) be able to paint some of your photos etc for a fee. She will be taking with her some blank saw blades, cross cuts etc to paint whilst at the Gathering.
More info to come as I get it.
