A small committee would be a good idea to share the load, made up of on road Vogue owners to full off road modifieds. That way it will have something for everyone.

Have done smaller ones in sydney years ago so PM me if you need some help.

Pick a smaller town that generally has nothing on...it will help boost their economy once a year
I guess that would be nice if the LR community help small towns
In many cases we can help to place them on the map..... again

May I suggest Bendethra on the South Coast of NSW (my favourite spot), easy to get to, large area, with some toilets, plenty of good 4WDriving trails around, Plenty of attractions nearby on the coast, Regards Frank.

NM, I was thinking more along the lines of KISS, if it is going to be like Cooma, then I would suggest Cooma as the Venue, a whole bunch of organising though I would think a Mammoth task, maybe it could be split into regional areas and left to regional organisation. July will be very cold in most camping spots, unless your in the tropics, this time of the year or Spring would be more suitable, Regards Frank.

where would you hold it centre of Australia so it's fair travelling time for everyone or would you have it in the eastern states .....always fancied driving into the middle of the dessert to get lost !!!!
In the old country they have these kind of events annually and its best to get land rover on board as well as after market product sellers to make it interesting.
landrover owner international magazine usually have huge input on the u.k. ones maybe they would be interested in covering your event?
might be able to hook up with some food outlets so they in effect would pay for the site.

Excellent idea would be good to have nav run(poker run) event as well as flex up or mud pulls or maybe mud racing if allowed and able, maybe a prize or trophy for each class in the show and dirty.Something for the kids as some of us have them.My pick for a location would maybe up nsw north coast and maybe out towards tamworth way.

hmmmm,,
well it's not going to be a weekend thing,,

no matter which state you decide on its going to be more than one days drive for everyone else.

so if its more than one--
make it somewhere remote for everyone.

within 200ks of Whitecliffs.


makes it available to the SA-Aulroians too,,
