The Corowa shire has done an excellent job on the river banks around ball park- they have built up the sand areas and reenforced the banks with logs & sandbags to create an area that makes it easier to park and alight water craft, and created some nice swimming spots, too.

However I guess that this will all be under water by the time we get there...

Default Corowa Airport update.


URGENT
Corowa Airport update.

The recent rain in southern New South Wales has caused KVE Inc a few problems for “The year of the 6 X 6”.

The Shire of Corowa has advised that the Corowa Airport may not be available for our upcoming event. This means that there may be no camping at the airport or that the Display and Swap Meet may also have to be moved to a different location.

The Shire has offered the Stock Yards area for our use and within close proximity of another caravan park/camping area, this may be where we end up.

If you have booked at the Airport, you MAY have to move to the Bindaree Caravan Park opposite the Stock Yards.

KVE and the Corowa Shire are sorry for this possible move, but the weather is one thing over which we have no control.

Please watch this space for further updates. Please be prepared to move to a different location if the ground doesn’t dry out enough for the Airport Management to agree to us being at the Airport next week.

All trips, Swap Meet and Display will go ahead as planned but may not be at the Airport.

Please watch this thread for updates.


Yours etc
Rick Cove,
President KVE Inc.

Hi All,
Just thought I would let you know that three of us are attempting to ride our ww2 motorbikes down from Queensland.
Ray Smith on a Indian Chief
Neale Dixon on a 42WLA Harley
and me on a 42 WLA Harley.
Rain, hail or shine we are giving it a go.
We have support vehicle should something go wrong.
I broke a bone in my hand 3 weeks ago so I am not sure how I will go.
We are leaving Goondiwindi Sunday morning.
Hope to see you all there.
Cheers
Jeff

...
Rick

Will the Bindaree Caravan Park be at the same price as the Airport?

Will AAVA have sufficient space to erect a 14 X 28 tent? (at the same P/P rate)?

Will the heavy vehicles be parking in the stock yards or on the street AND what security arrangements have been made to secure the unnattended, unlockable vehicles?

Diana
