Hi NSW
I rang John the caretaker at Koala Park - Munmorah yesterday. Had a yarn with him about us rolling in there around the weekend after Mothers Day ( 13/14/15th May).
He stated that weekend is OK with him.. there is a car show on there sunday morning.
Problem is the local council has raised its ugly head again and have told John that the maximum number of vans in the park is 12
That is powered or unpowered.. 12 max .
Soooooooooooooooo.. given that we usually get up around 15 to 20 vans at this getogether ... what do you guys want to do about it??
We could go with the first 12 to reply here get in the park ...... :-/but that is totally unfair to the rest of the happy campers that usually come along..
Other alternative ( and the logical one) is to find another venue.
We have been to Canton Beach in the past and we can go there again if the majority wants to...
Only issues i had with the place was we where spread throughout the park and it felt like we where camping on the permanents front lawn.. always under surviellence so to speak.
While at Gresford i suggested Colo River Caravan Park up from Windsor. Last time i went past there the servo had a man proof fence around it. Not sure if the park has shut down too.. or they May have been doing renovations.
Haven't googled them yet. will do so today??
Also there is a park at Windor that might be worth a try.. I think its part of the Butterfly Farm??
To be fair to those that travelled up to the Hunter from "The Shire, Hornsby, Darlinghurst etc for the Gresford weekend it would be good if we can get in somewhere down towards Sydney for our next getogether.
Just a few options.
I told John at Koala Park i would give him a definite yes or no within a fortnight...
Do you guys have a venue / park in mind. 
Cheers
