G'day Trendsetters,
I need to know ASAP a head count of how many people are in you party; ie RLI's party my daughter, my father and me = 3. I need this information for camp site bookings!
Also could you please what type of site you require for the initial Rendezvous meet and greet for everyone on the 3rd/4th August at the BIG4 Port Douglas Glengarry Holiday Park?
The following are the site costs;
1. Unpowered site $34.00 per night.
2. Powered site with concrete slab: $44.00.
3. Powered site with en-suite $54.00
Group 1 participants will be departing on the the morning of the 4th August for the Lions Den overnight stop.
Group 2 participants will be leaving on the morning of the 5th August for the Lions Den overnight stop.
Group I participants will be 24hrs (1 day ahead of group 2 for this trip, however we will all be Rendezvous at Punsand Bay resort camp ground.)
Lions Den hotel campground fees are;
1. Un-powered site Adult $10 per person Children $6 (Under 6 FREE)
2. Powered site Adult $26 (1- 2 people) Children $9 (Under 6 FREE)
Up date! We do not need to book for un-powered sites at the Lions Den campground, however we definitively need to book for powered sites, due to the small number of sites available. PLEASE ADVISE ME ASAP IF YOU NEED A POWERED SITE!

G'evening folks!
Could you please advise of what your accommodation choice is, when we travel up to the Cape? Ie - are you tenting, back of car, swag, camper, caravan, etc? I need to know for Qld Parks and Wildlife with regards to availability of sites!

Hi Paul
sorry for the lack in replies. I have been flat out organising the mother in laws surprise 50th, busy at work and also moving house.
I will be traveling in my car with my father, Allan (hooter) my father in law will have a friend traveling with him.
I will be staying in Allans camper trailer, so please book me with Allan for unpowered sites.
Our guests will more than likely be pitching a tent or swag.
Sorry for being difficult.
Jase and yourself deserve a hug pat on the back for the effort gone into organising this event. I know it isn't easy, but I am thankful. If it wasn't for you guys being well organised I don't think I would have gone, def couldn't have done half the job you guys have if I was on my own.

Four night's out on the town at $50.00 per head for adults and $15.00 per child. Will = an extra $200.00 per adult meaning your meal costs will be between $500.00 and $600.00 per Adult.

the worst part is after the planning and preparation stage, when all you've got left is the waiting.
