The problem with that is that if it gets to hot, as Melbourne can in summer, everyone will be stuck to their vynal seats and burning themselves on the seatbelt buckles.

Dont worry mate.. there are a few of us non cider drinking, hardened alcoholics who stay up all night and keep an eye on the cars ! 
 
Seriously though, very low risk at the motel where it has been the last couple of years i went.

Settle down ya piss head

Toranafest is Toranafest, which has always (and will continue to be) in the Hunter Valley. After 20 years of the 'Fest the HVTC had a break this year and the QTCC hosted Toranarama over what would normally be Toranafest weekend.

Accommodation for Toranafest 2015 is the same place as usual. Not sure if they're taking reservations yet though, but as previous attendees can agree with, it gets booked solid that weekend and it's first in-best dressed.

 

If you don't know the place, PM me for the details.

 

Cheers

There was a very original looking Balmoral Green 4 door there last time, it's amazing how different 2 cars the same model and colour can look.

Just curious, is there any camping facilities at the Showground & if so will there be a party atmosphere happening there.

 

The main motel is the place to be but everyone wants to stay there in what's a very limited number of available rooms

I think I know the car you mean. I don't mind the colour myself.

I don't think camping there has come up before, and I'd have to say it isn't an option, but I'll pass it on and confirm just because I like you, Bruce haha
