G,day Gary.
You could try Budgewoi caravan park about 10min drive away.
For the real adventurest / desperet the Wattagan Mountains are about 25min and camping is free.
I only live about 10min away from the club but during the race i will be staying at Belmont Pines caravan park which is located at the north end of lake Maquarie [about 30min drive] because we book a spot on the water front every year at xmas. there are plenty of caravan parks around Lake Macquarie with the furthest being about 30min drive. Hope this helps.

P.S. they hire house boats up at Toronto which you could drive down and anker right at the club.
Seeya.

Just in case anyone had not noticed, the NoR is on the NMCCA site national titles information page.

Hi Ben,

Big News

The national titles entry form has finally arrived.

It is here.

Some things to note:

Only boats that are registered as measured can enter the National Titles. The complete list is here.
The NSW and QLD boats are exempt from this requirement (due to there being no measurers in those states). If you are in the process of getting your boat measured and want to enter please contact me.

The entry fee can be pre-paid by direct bank payment or cheque, or pay at Mannering Park by cheque or cash.

There is a $15 late entry charge after Dec 1st.
