Hi all
Im suggesting Canungra on the weekend of October 3/4/5/6 & very much how it used to be a few years back:
a pretty laid back camping event with campfires, camp oven cooking, no money collected, as little or as much organization as the participants want & a bit more family friendly than the last few events at Canungra...

Hi All, Just some info on Canungra for those that are new to the forum. Canungra is on the weekend of October 3/4/5/6 i.e. the long weekend. There isn't a great deal written on this Canungra Thread as yet, because we are still over 4 months away. But it will be updated as we get closer to the time. But basically - it is held at Canungra Showground. There are facilities and powered and non powered sites available. (Smiles) Cathie has offerend to make the group booking, so you only need to mention on this thread that you will be attending and Cathie will add you onto the list. On one night we will no doubt end up at the pub for dinner, another night we will do camp ovens. There is a great pizza shop and a pie shop in town, so you won't go hungry if you don't feel like cooking. The pub has a courtesy bus in case we all have too much at happpy hour first  There is a river, so you can have a swim if you wish. It's very relaxed - you basically just come along and relax and have some fun. Regards Diane |

Hi Cathie,
On the N/NSW / SEQ thread you offered to take names and make the booking with the Caretaker.
If that offer, still stands can you please add Paul and I onto the list?
Many thanks
Di

Ray,
Paul and Yoko came along and caught up with some of us at Casino over Anzac weekend.
It had been about 3 years since they had been away. So it was lovely to see them.
I think they had a great time, so I'm sure they will turn up again at an event soon.
Regards
Di

Now to food!
I guess everyone knows by now that this event is NOT our Xmas event. Samford in Nov will be The Xmas Event, complete with DJ, catering, Santa, fancy dress up, swap table. This event in Oct is just going to be basic fun camping.
So here's my suggestions for food:
Friday night is Pizza night
Bob & Jacqui introduced us to a novel idea at Lightning Ridge. We combined all the pizza makings & plain bases & assembled a production line of pizzas which we cooked in the Baby Webers. It worked brilliantly & was a lot of fun. I've costed it out & reckon if everyone brought along $4-5 worth of ingredients per 2 adults, we could have a great meal! Of course the more baby Webers the better!
Saturday night is camp oven roast night
Bring along the equivalent of veges, roasts, dessert, dips, whatever to the value of $7-8 per 2 adults. As roasts are about $15, that means 2 couples could provide 1 roast that will feed a lot more than 4 people.
Sunday night is curry night on the fire, Gas, whatever.
We're happy to bring along a sack of basmati rice & even have a go at making chapattis/rotis on the fire. There's plenty of currys, chutneys, side salads that people can do that anyone can eat!
Whadya think guys?
If you think it's a go, post on here & ill keep the shopping list updated! No fish n chips I promise!

Sounds good - We hope to make it and I think the daughter & kids will give it a go too, it would be a birthday bash for the 4 of them. And Ray, if you are home from your holiday , I met phargen the other day and mentioned this event to him - see what happens. Cheers. Phil & Louise |

Hi Cathie ,Just to give this event a nudge .I will start of by offering to bring a roast to cook in our camp oven and share with people. We can also bring a bag of fire wood. Whilst we think October is a long way of,the way the year is flying it will soon be upon us. Cheers Sue  |
