The Fossicker caravan park is convenient to the middle of town but there are some other good choices.

At the southern end of Glen Innes, there is the Craigieburn, Poplar and Glen Rest.  At the northern end, there is the Blue Sapphire.  

Check them out here:

http://www.craigieburntouristpark.com.au/
http://www.gleninnes.com/glenrestpark/

check them out - suggest phoning as not all of them check email well.

cheers

ha!  plenty of time to fossick.  I've just this afternoon booked a big cabin, so am fully committed now.

Regards,
Shane
How big is big, 2 Bedroom and 7 beds??

Party at shanes cabin  ;)

Merryn is right, maybe someone out there might be willing to share with you and help with the rental. Something like that.

Take Care,
Deb  ;D

Swaggy and his wife might not want to listen to the sound of tuning accordians late at night  ;D

Seriously though, will still be easy to catch up.  Poplar is closest to the Fossicker - about 2 blocks along the highway but both the Glen Rest and Craigieburn are not much further away and very nice spots.

Cool!  I'll come out of my country villa in that case.  I'll supply the glasses, of course...

Hi Mithras
Im reasonably sure the Kiama duo can make it. I'm pretty keen to get back up there after the results we had at Minerama, especially if Paul and jerry are coming. Lesley's not so keen if it's cold and we cant get a cabin, but I'll convince her. By the way I've invited 'the sweede' my digging buddy from Brisbane who absolutely loves saphires. Give me some dates and locations and I'll run it past Brigitte and Ray as well.
