Cup Weekend at Koondrook
2 November 2018 - 6 November 2018
Are you coming to Kakadu? (of the south that is).
Come and join us in Koondrook and explore the area around the wetlands in this part of northern Victoria. The main accommodation is at the Murray Waters Motor Inn. If you contact them make sure that they understand that you are with the Peugeot Car Club as there has been an issue when one member was told the motel was booked out – it is, but it is booked out to us! Phone 5453 2300. The motel encourages people to cross the road to The Long Paddock for breakfast. Alternatively you could be self sufficient.
There is a basic caravan park next to the motel. Across the river in Barham is one that has several cabins available. There are also other motels here.
We will visit some small entrepreneurial businesses. These hopefully will include making products from goat milk, Berkshire pigs, Avocado growing, a night photographer.
I plan to put our cars on display in Garden Park, beside the Gunbower Creek, as part of the Cohuna Festival and we can visit the Farmers Market at the same time.
We will not have long drives each day but aim to explore close to our accommodation.
Our celebration dinner will be aboard the Wetlander for a cruise on Gunbower Creek travelling through some of the red gum forest. Celebration? We are celebrating 70 years for the 203 and 50 years for the 504, and we are celebrating Worm Drives just because they deserve it!
Have you found Koondrook on the map yet? It is at the western end of Gunbower Island, the largest inland island in Australia. It is formed between the Murray River and Gunbower Creek which is a branch of the main river and is over 20km long. Some of you might like to explore the island and I am sure I know one member who would willingly lead you on the dirt tracks. However my commitment is for sealed roads but living in a rural area means there will be some dirt.
When you make your booking please let me know so that I have numbers for catering.
