It will be determined in the end, if someone wants to put their hand up and run it.
You can suggest places until ya blue in the face, but unless ya prepared to do it..... it doesn't matter a rat's arse.

A central location would make it very attractive to more swaggers.....
Alice Springs then....?

Has a sort of "hidden valley" feel about it...
Wild, wilderness feeling..
Fishing, canoeing, 4wd tracks
Toilets, but no showers..
Off grid, but generator ok?
No mobile phone coverage,
But satellite phone on site.
Just a suggestion?

I am sure there would be a few from Tasmania on here who could get together and see what we have to offer here.
In 2015 the FJ forum and Pradopoint both had their gathering here so it can be done without a problem.

The rules for nominating a prospective venue for the 2019 Myswag.org National Meet are as follows:
1. Don't nominate it unless you and at least two other Myswag Members are
happy to assume responsibility for organising a Meet there.
2. Please don't nominate a location, please nominate a venue. For example, instead of
nominating "Grafton area", nominate "Nymboida Canoe Centre, Nymboida".
3. Nominate a time of your ie Summer, Autumn, Winter or Spring (when will your Venue be most enjoyable).
4. The venue must meet the following criteria:
*Capacity to cope with at least 150 people (or more if the Venue is a central location)
*Ample ablution facilities
*Both powered and unpowered sites
*Both bush camping and site camping availability
*Permit camp fires
*Have a central area for communal gathering

Unfortunately due to other trip commitments I couldn't make the national meet this year.
I'm enjoying reading the ideas people have for where a 2019 meet could be held.
Hopefully this thread may encourage a few who live close to some these locations to get together and make a proposal.
Don't forget to think outside the square too.
I have attend a few events where portable toilets are brought in to cater for for larger groups.
Quite large generators are available to provide 24/7 power where the cost can be divided amongst those connected to it also.
Yes it adds to the costs but it may also open up areas previously dismissed.
Cheers, Kyle.

Re: power, what are the main reasons power is required, given nearly everybody seems to have solar farms?
As alien said...generators can be hired...I hired one for our wedding so that caravans could plug into overnight..oh and to run the cold room, lights and music.

WK also has no showers btw, but a magnificent river for potential washing ### provided 100% biodegradable soaps etc were used, and causes no grief with the epa ###.... But that would mean icy cold bathing.... LOL
That, and that you pretty much need a 4WD to get in....
But get through all those hurdles; and its all glorious upside from then on in....
But no doubt; there would be several other top notch areas I am sure; that do have 240 and hot showers ... WK is just a thought, as I know it's probably a MySwaggers idea of a wet dream .... lol

As alien said...generators can be hired...I hired one for our wedding so that caravans could plug into overnight..oh and to run the cold room, lights and music.
The reason that we ask that proposed venues have toilets, showers, water and power is because we need to take into consideration that Myswag.org Members have a range of different set ups, capabilities and requirements and we need to cater for that. Not everyone is able to camp with no facilities, no water and/or no power (although I personally love that style of camping). Some of our Members require power for sleep apnoea machines, others have (or have family members) with disabilities and require access to suitable ablution facilities etc. In a nutshell, National Meets need to be at an "all inclusive" style of venue.
The less we need to hire (generators, port-a-loos etc) the better as it cuts down on costs. As most of you know, Myswag is funded by donations, the meager profit we make from merchandise and our (Brett & my) pocket so our venue hire budget is pretty tight as Myswag's Server Fees and Accountant Fees alone keep the kitty pretty skinny. Yeah sure, we could charge out the cost of hiring such things to those attending but we try and make National Meets as budget friendly for attendees as possible.
If you are keen to have a local Meet in a more isolated location or at a venue with little or no services, please feel free to organise one. They don't have to be a flash affair. Some tips on how to get started are HERE (http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=38751.msg630140#msg630140).

In saying that, we wouldn't immediately rule out a venue that required hire of some equipment. Those that nominate it would have to put forward a good case though regarding why the venue would be worth it...

Awesome effort to put your hand up guys, JCOJ, smartyingreen, and db.
In 2011, we didn't get to see a lot of the Flinder's that we would of hope to of before the National meet in Wilmington, this gives us a crack at seeing a lot more.
We are making plans now to attend where ever it is.

I have only just got back onto Myswag after a hiatus after we sold our camper trailer in 2014.
Anyway what this means is I don't know of any MySwaggers in Newcastle who would be able to help me organise the 2019 National meet but I do have one of the pearls of places that is available and could easily cater for everyone and ticks every box you mention I believe.
Anyway have a look at this and see what you think. If there are other local Newcastle or surrounds members who might be happy to meet up and see if we would be happy working together if you are interested in this option then happy ti investigate.

Perhaps you could change it up in 2019 and come to the National Meet instead and see something different (other than Levuka)? You'll have plenty of time between now and then to plan your trip so that you aren't using the highways? I know that when Brett and I plan our trips we avoid the highways as much as possible so that we get to really explore the areas we pass through.

So far from Jan - Apr 2018 they have only had 15.2mm of rain whereas the average for that time period is 72.9mm. It's been a very dry year for them so far, hence the dust.

"Alpana offers 4 powered sites with private ensuite bathrooms that are perfect for campers and caravanners visiting the Central Flinders Ranges. Modern and clean, they add convenience to your holiday experience. The sites are adjacent to our shearers' quarters in the homestead area and on the tree-lined banks of Alpana Creek. The shelter next to the bathrooms has a gas BBQ, table, bench seats and fire pit for general use. The Ensuite bathrooms offer a shower, toilet, hand basin and wash trough with hot water on tap and are easily accessed by standard cars and vans on a sealed road from Wilpena Pound with a 300m dirt driveway.
There are 4 powered sites in the Trees Area Campground strictly for self-contained vans."
I count 8 powered sites Mal. That may be enough for a NM (with needs-based allocation), but it doesn't matter, 'cos Rawnsley Park is the selected venue.

I was a bit alarmed at the price too, for a powered site, 2 adults, 2 kids I’ve got at $69 a night if my maths doesn’t fail me?

Post by: JCOJ on July 10, 2018, 06:29:58 PM
Regarding the pricing - yes it is up there, and more than we wanted it to be. However the biggest expense we have is the actual cost of the accommodation that Rawnsley are charging us. We have added $0 to the kids prices, and very little to the adults prices to keep the overall cost as low as we can, but this means running the rest of the Meet on an absolute busted shoestring budget!!
We are 'hoping' we get the support of you guys to actually make it to the Meet just to cover the cost to Rawnsley we have to pay regardless of the numbers that do show up, not alone the other things.
Rawnsley is pretty remote and 450km from Adelaide so to give you an idea of what we're up against, we had the idea of getting a marquee in case the weather turns bad as it would be a communal place we could all hang out - we had quotes of up to $3,500 as it has to come from Adelaide!! Needless to say we canned that idea pretty quickly, but even essential things like firewood has to be bought.
We released the pricing as early as possible which would hopefully give you enough time to save to enable as many people to attend what is this awesome every second year event.
Also, if there is any money left over at the end, no one makes any profit out of it, but rather it goes to supporting this wonderful forum that we all enjoy so much.

I have gone back to Rawnsley and have been able to negotiate a 3 night minimum for both powered and unpowered sites instead of the previous 4 night minimum.
The pricing amount for each night will still stay the same (I couldn't do anything about that), but if you only wanted to stay the three nights that is fine. (Of course you can stay as long as you want to if it is more than the 3 nights).
For those that have booked already I have sent you a PM or e-mail.
Thanks.

1) There has been waaay too much time and effort gone in so far to move it at this stage
2) I am not at all keen on losing the big deposit that had to be paid to secure this many campsites over an Easter weekend
3) Wilpena Pound Campgound's pricing was very much the same but they couldn't offer us what Rawnsley could in terms of other things we requested
4) Willow Springs doesn't offer any powered sites at all
5) Alpana Station is not big enough to accommodate all of us
6) This will be an awesome weekend as it is and will be well worth it

OK - this pricing issue has been really getting to me.You are a good man,
I have gone back to Rawnsley and have been able to negotiate a 3 night minimum for both powered and unpowered sites instead of the previous 4 night minimum.
The pricing amount for each night will still stay the same (I couldn't do anything about that), but if you only wanted to stay the three nights that is fine. (Of course you can stay as long as you want to if it is more than the 3 nights).
For those that have booked already I have sent you a PM or e-mail.
Thanks.
I appreciate your effort and time that you are putting in to making this an awesome National Meet for everyone.
Thanks mate.

We've just booked for five days, Thursday to Tuesday as we figure we'll do some additional travel after the meet, the sort of thing one can do in retirement :) Thought there was no point in leaving on Easter Monday as we'll need to do a resupply before heading north (weather permitting) and will do a fuel top-up at Hawker prior to arrival. We will also need to stock up of fresh fruit and veg in SA once through the fruit fly quarantine zone, so plan on arriving on the Thursday. Looking forward to meeting people in person and testing out the new tug on a long trip.
Regards,
Warren (Wazza999)

Fuel also available at Wilpena Pound resort a few KM up the road.

They do have a fuel available at the camp site.Thx, knew about Wilpena but not the campsite. I guess the Wilpena bowsers will be open over Easter?

The cheapest place for fuel is the Repco in Hawker then Rawnsley and Wilpena is the most expensive!

We can't do.
Sent Brett & Jillsy a message.
Was still hoping to, but the straw that broke the camels snapped.
The 80 needs a rebuild on the injector pump.
Shit happens.
Look forward to the pics & stories that will come.
Safe travels
Have a blast

SWMBO asked a question, is there a laundry at Rawnsley Park. I couldn’t find any reference on the web page.
Yes there is a laundry.
