Is that a warning not to drink Qld water David?

Back to the topic heading, we will probably be going to Wagga for Stone The Crows again next Easter (30th March to 2nd April 2018, so something between then and the first week end in May (Taggerty) would be great if the location is some where around that area.
So just what facilities are we looking for? Is power an essential? Drinking water? Dump Point? Something to do in the area?

I suggest Temora showground, $15 for power, plenty of water, covered area for happy hours, fires allowed [with agreement], hard [dirt] sites even in the rain, great town and a lot to see. Only less than 100k from Wagga Wagga, good chocolate factory at Junee.

Sounds good, what other attractions are there in the area? Isn't there an aircraft museum out that way?
Gentle Annie was a great spot where a previous CF UWE was held as was Finley NSW, 2 other possible sites?

We came through Temora on the way down to STC, yes there is some sort of aircraft museum there. We would have stopped there on the way back but we had the Harden thing on. Good suggestion. Finley is a bit further south I think ? Too cold maybe ? GA even further south, bit of a nono for us.

Yes aircraft museum with two working Spitfires [ going to Illawarra next weekend], rail museum at Junee, rural museum at Temora [behind the Info centre]. Not far to Ariah Park town [in a time warp and also the first town to rail bulk wheat in Australia. Coolamon Cheese factory in the main street plus old store near fire station. Plenty to do the park in the main street is called paleface park in honor of the great trotter of the 60/70s "Paleface Adios" some of you might have won money on it. When leaving go to Wagga for Aldi's.

We may be able to make it as we come back from Tassie on March 10. We stayed at the Temora Showground a few years ago. Not flash but plenty of room and lots to do in the area. That would suit us.
