I was thinking about organising a Land Rover Jamboree similar to the old 4WD Clubs jamborees that used to be held in NSW.

Who would come? Is it a good idea? How much would people pay for a 3 day weekend per car?

Was thinking June long weekend as an annual event. Would have to start next year as it is too close this year.

Thoughts People?

Would there be sausage meat, boiled eggs and bread crumbs involved?

This is a great idea and we're keen to be there at Rover Park.
I also agree it should be moved around each year, and should be used to boost the economy of a small town.
I thought of Dorrigo as there are tracks all over the eastern Dorrigo to explore, plus lots of touristy stuff and the NPs. But if its NSW next year then it should move to another state the year after. Broken Hill could certainly be good, but there must be other places.
Maybe the time of year could also change depending on the conditions. For instance, inland or north mid-year, south or west in the warmer months.
I was also wondering if a fund-raising cause might also be adopted, to focus the event somehow. Maybe pick a suitable charity with national approval.
What do you think?

Is it on? For sure?
Could a new sticky thread take bookings to assist the owners etc?
I have to plan/ advise so I really need to know. I am only one, but then another one!

Great.
There are thousands of charities, but how many are relevant to people who live in isolated areas all over the country? Maybe the RFDS?
