Information on the Nationals, including dates, has been posted now, so we can all start thinking about summer weather, holidays and accommodation!
Wallaroo National Titles 2009 Information

Apparently the last campsite spots are already nearly gone so it would be a good idea to book now!

where are people camping. Which park?

I think you have to take what you can get at this stage. There are still some holiday houses available and the Cornucopia Hotel has lots of rooms available (the Sharpies apparently occupied most of the Hotel last year).

for those travelling to wallaroo and cant get accomodation at wallaroo, the town of kadina is only 6 kms east( 5 minutes) from wallaroo and moonta bay is only about 10 kms south( 10 minutes).

All,

The SA committee is presently contacting the Wallaroo SC and hoping to have a list of what and where is available asap

It will be forwarded to the various State committees but I am hoping to high jack it at the same time and will get it up here as soon as it is sent out.

Hope it helps and look forward to seeing you all there

Office Beach holiday cabin and caravan park www.goseeaustralia.com.au It does not have its own
website so not as easy to find as the Caravan park at North Beach

also could try stayz .com.au
Macs Holiday Villas is near the jetty/yachtclub and 2br

North Beach is the other end of Wallaroo Beach and only a
short drive, as a lot of the houses are out there.

I don't know if this helps but it might be a start....and hoping more ifo to follow

I don't know how vacancies go but there are several small towns in the near proximity.

I spoke to Office Beach c/van park today and they are totally booked out. North beach c/van park has a few powered sites left,and quite a lot of unpowered sites available,the Johnstones and the Kennedys now have a site each booked here.
They said they would put us together in one area if we mention we are Mosquito sailors, I also asked about launching from this park and sailing to the Y.C as it is only a couple of minutes sail, unable to walk along beach to Y.C because of marina,and a 5 or 6k drive around marina & Wallaroo to Y.C,they said we may be able to launch at the park and on return at night bring our boats up into the park for security, we would have to confirm this on arrival as it is only a maybe ! Apparently the park at Kadina is pretty ordinary and full of permanents.
Hope this info is of some help.

We found an apartment at North Beach for the tribe, Macs was booked out, Wallaroo is very popular in SA around Xmas.

All,

For those looking for accomadation for Wallaroo, Graeme Davies (SA Sec) has done a list of what is available where, and Mick F has uploaded it to the National Web site ...so hope it helps.

Peter Nikitin, Neil Joiner and myself all have our accommodation organised.

Last year we had a late entry fee after Dec 1st. Most entries were in by then but not all. Hardly any entered before mid-November. So T-shirts ordering is always an art - even if you can leave it till December.

An online entry form with the Nationals info on the NMCC site (enter now, pay later) is probably your best bet.

we have booked accommodation at the caravan park so have the Kennedy's and Johnston's.

Me 2. North beach. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I'm going, North beach too. Red shirts from Lock sport are the best so far, can you top them Roy?

Darrryn

Two boats committed from the Riverland and our accomadation is sorted.....house is so much more civilised

Hoping more from our club, but waiting for decisions.

I agree with Darryn...would like to see SA with flash shirts too
