This is an opportunity for old members to get together and for new members to see the lovely property, meet older members, and have an enjoyable time at a fixed camp. There will be a big campfire on the Saturday night with singing and skits followed by supper provided by the Club. On the Sunday there is a damper-making competition (using only S.R. Flour and water - bring your own). This is in the ashes of the previous night's campfire. There is also swimming in the Kangaroo River with perhaps races and lilo-floating.  And a lot of very pleasant bush to walk in.  Water is laid on to the hut and the camping area.
