Does anybody know?

1. Is there to be a 2016 Australian FJ Rally ?

2. If so, Where and When ?

3. If so, Who is the self-appointed "CAT HERDER" this time ?

Not sure if #s 2&3 are in the right order.

Hi Arnie
As far as I know there is going to be a 2016 FJ Rally. The talk was of the central highlands, close to the Victoria boarder, can't confirm .  RoverFJ1200 (Richard) was sort of the unofficial chook herder.

Fellow FJers.

The 2016 Rally is in the planning and I can tell you it will be in the Victorian High Country. Work is under way to find a Venue and accommodation options. March the 12th is most likely the sacred date.

So get your plans under way It will as usual be a cracking event.

Ta, Richard

Date is noted and "Vic High Country" is enough detail at this point. :-)

Looking forward to it.

Thanks Richard.
I'm on leave for the 1st 2 weeks of March and should be back home in time for that long weekend.
It all depends on what "The War Office" wants to do with the last few days.
At this point I'll say I'm a 90% starter. :yahoo:
Be Good

Hold on Hold on. Looks like we have hit a bit of a snag here. With the weekend of the 12th being a long weekend in Vic accommodation is proving hard to find.


Looking most likely we will have to move the date forward or back..

Any preferences?

Tumbarumba is a really good spot, great cabins and camping at the caravan park, walking distance to pub and cafes, good prices, bike friendly and magnificent roads on the doorstep.

A number of bike groups give the thumbs up here for management cooperation.

Alternative suggestions?

   The problem is the timing not the location. It's the Victorian Labour Day long weekend. A week earlier or a week later would solve the accommodation problem and also have a lot less traffic to contend with. My preference would be for the weekend of the 19th and 20th of March. The weekend before is the Vintage Motorcycle show at Canberra so this may not be as suitable to some members.
Regards, Pete.

As Pete says, "The problem is the timing not the location" 
The weekend before or after will have a lot fewer of them damned "revenue collectors" on the roads too.

      We need some feedback about the most suitable weekend, NOT THE VENUE.
