There is plenty of room for camping with your Champ along the banks
of the Yea River which runs through the property. Toilet and shower facilities
are very limited, as we are on tank water. There are a couple of good swimming
holes in the river. Power is available in the sheds around the farmhouse.

An easy 40 - 50 km drive in the hills with some difficult 4 x4 side tracks
available for those with the need. Departure 12.30 returning about 4.30pm.
Catered evening meal, please book as early as you can so we can give the
caterers plenty of notice, cost will depend upon numbers attending, but
should be less than $15 each. I will give more details as the time gets
closer. I am hoping to get a number of champ enthusiasts / military historians
to talk to the group.
