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?

Hi All

Have not been around for a while, I finally got the courage up to sell the wife's Disco. But the Landrover bug bit again and I just bought a 2a,it should arrive from Sydney today(CAN'T WAIT). I think the get together is a great idea. I had a bit to do with the Landcruiser corroboree at Pamona last year as I was their 4WDQ association rep and it was a great success. Just an idea on a charity if you decide to go that way, what about "careflight", they do a sensational job and I know they had their funding cut back dramatically last year or maybe the "guide dogs". Just a thought?. I will post a few pictures when my new baby arrives, it should be fun having a toy again.

Cheers Ian

Please feel free to tell the rest of us how your car does that, I have a heavy foot I know, but the best I've ever had is about 450

Great idea. I live at Comboyne, if you don't know it its like a smaller version of Dorrigo but a bit small, lower in altitude and further south in b/w Taree and Port Macquarie. When we were looking for properties some years ago we did around 2 Thousand K in two weeks travelling thru state forests etc b/w these two plateaus. You could pretty well travel between the two plateaus thru the forests. The scenerys great, good mountain trails, lots of rainfall, rainforest, volcanic soil, farmland. These areas link the coast with the tablelands. I can definately say that some small towns that are a bit out of the way do it tough economically and are often looking for ways to attract groups to their town. For example a big mountain bike event was held at Comboyne some years ago which was a big boost to the town. Also a lot of these places are not given much gov funding for anything - including roads. Even if AULRO tourers got behind the local community of the town they are in AND RAISED THEIR VOICE it would raise the profile of these issues for the town. Ask the local community what charities they are behind would be one way also. I can tell you guys that there are a lot of farmers doing it tough, getting screwed by the middle men and the retailers while dealing with what nature throws up. It amazes me that so many of these agriculturally productive places get so little back - its all one way traffic to the cities. Land Rovers importance historically to Australian agriculture is a strong link and is probably worth considering in terms of venue for the future - its nice to provide a counter point and remind people that Toyotas did'nt build this country!
I'm rambling now - A Jamboree is a great idea keep it growing.

As for a jamboree I am all for it in Vic or southern NSW somewhere like Wagga or a bit higher.
