+1 SLED, looks good.

I just booked a 2 bedroom cabin for myself, Fliggy, Aberax and Matty Sherlock at Goulburn Valley Motor Village, which is on the same road as BIG4.

[Madaz]

did you just book online Dion or did you ring them up and check availability

[dark.sky]

Online.

[Normsta]

How are you getting there? See what the other 3 guys say but we might be able to fit you in the car, it is a 'family' car lol. The place I'm eyeing off for accommodation sleeps 5, but I need to check where everyone else is staying first.

edit: are most people (as in outside of SA) staying in Shepparton or Benalla?

Driving there

major update to original post

[Fliggy]

I just looked at my Tafe roster and i have Tafe on the Monday so not sure what will happen, i'm going to talk to my tafe and work about the Monday.

Just had a look at that one Dion.......the one I pointed out has a pool and looks much nicer.......was the Goulburn Valley Village much cheaper than the one below maybe?

BIG4 Shepparton Parklands

I'm tempted to bring my big van down for this event

It's 6 and a pair of 3's really.

Me, Vu, Abe, Matt Sherlock and Norman have secured a 'superior town cabin' and its only costing us $99.60 for all 3 nights each. That includes all linen, unlike the 'standard family cabin' at BIG4 that only has linen for 2 people, and you cant book the 'luxury villas' at BIG4 for any less than 4 nights

[SLED]

Fair enough

Would be good to get a map of the park up and see if we can get accommodation close to each other in the park.......good to see how close powered sites are as well, if I decide to bring the van up

Also, those who have not been to Shepparton before, bring some spare coin to splash at the SPC factory outlet. I can remember several times loading up the car from there, nobody goes hungry on the drive home haha.... and for a couple of weeks.

My auntie/uncle/nanna/cousin (aka Matt Sherlocks mate - small world) live over there, so I'm quite familiar with the region.

BIG4 Shepparton Parklands

I've just been online with this particular park and I'm leaning towards this park for good reasons.

1) facilities (including pool) kill the other park

2) the most you'll pay for a top of the line Luxury Villa (sleeps 6) is $35 per night if you share.......they also have Family, Deluxe & Standard Cabins that are cheaper again.

3) 3 Star Park vs 4 Star Park

3) much nicer BBQ areas

4) Resort style park vs Bush style park

I'll get a map of this park and post it in this thread

PS: Dion, not sure if you've paid a deposit on at the Goulburn Park yet......or if you even want to consider changing to this one........leave it up to you guys either way

[Matty Sherlock]

We have to sing "We're going to Bonney Doon" in the car haha

[SLED]

Just noticed what you said about "4 nights minimum stay" Dion.

That is def the case if you're booking online............I'll ring them tomorrow and see if it's negotiable

I'm happy either way dion, but would be good to be staying where a majority of others are

I think they charged me a 1 night deposit (though this isnt reflected in my netbank), but as its more than 30 days from the date it can be refunded.

If the other place is negotiable, I will change it, I just wanted to put my name on something ASAP in case it all filled up.

[SLED]

no probs, I'll know by tomorrow arvo hopefully

Haha yeah. I've been there more times than I can remember, but I've never seen the movie. Ive even been to the house it was filmed at. Shane's parents place is on the same lake too.

Dion, I'm not too fussed which one we stay at.
