Time for you lot to get your thinking caps on for a gathering around Easter time 2017.

If my memory serves me correctly, & it often doesn't lately, it may not be big enough... depending of course on how many wish to partake.
But John may see this & offer advice.

I guess there are a majority of SA members here, but how many do we have from Vic ?

Hey let's not play the Mexican game!!!
We have members from all over really. The last gathering was in North Qld.
I've always thought around Tooleybuc was pretty central for SA, Vic & NSW.

Not playing games with Mexicans Bruce.............we always win.
That said,
central to everyone was what I was getting at.

Police Paddocks, nice and close to the Rutherglen wine district.... but Easter would be packed I'd imagine. We could mow the block above the house on Purnong Rd Mannum, quite a view from there, no idea who I'd need to contact for permission though, but I can find out if anyone is interested.......

T1,
I'd vote for Police Paddocks...
I could come home each night for dinner!
Actually, you're right: Easter w/e it's elbow-to-elbow. So I reckon that's a no-no.
What about
Beltana Station in outback SA, 30km south of Leigh Creek
(town is now closed, because the mine did 
)
Beltana is 500,000 acres.
There should be enough space for us.
Actually, close to the homestead they have
two powered sites!
They also have a camp-ground about 1km from the homestead, which I have not seen, just saw the signpost.
I'd be back there in a flash! Great 4WD tracks around the place, with route notes available at the homestead.
And they have a cafe/museum in the now empty shearing shed. They run sheep that moult! Don't need shearers any more.
(But the wool is not yer AAAA class, we were told. Carpet quality.)
