THE PROGRAM
The Nationals in May 2022 will be based in Dubbo NSW and we are looking forward to a Buicking good time.
Here’s a flavour of the event:
- Registration on Sunday 15th with finger food and drinks in the evening.
- Monday will be a small travel day to consider those taking big steps to get to Dubbo on the prior day. We will be based at Dundullimal Homestead, a National Trust site near the Zoo. There will be a poker run and visit to RFDS facility followed by a group dinner with talk by elephant keepers.
- Tuesday is a bigger travel day west to Narromine for the air museum then home via Nevertire and Warren. It’s a chance to better understand this seldom visited part of our wide brown land. Dinner at own arrangement.
- Wednesday is party day in recognition of NSW Club’s milestone 50th birthday. The day will be based in Wongarbon at Billyo’s Bush Retreat then slap up dinner at Rhino Lodge.
- Thursday is less structured so those wishing to can visit the Zoo and other local attractions. (Free day)
- Friday sees us back on the road again visiting the Banjo Patterson Museum in Yeoval then Wellington to connect with some locals before returning to base.
- Saturday morning is time for show and shine then in the evening we have the Presentation dinner. Dress for the dinner is “Op Shop Formal” so some pre planning is required here. It’s a great set up for a light hearted night and there will be some home grown entertainment, fun and misbehaviour.
But wait……there’s more.
The “Post Tour” will have three days in both Parkes and Bathurst to explore the offerings of these interesting districts with a varied program including;
- a visit to the Art Deco Amusu theatre, continuously operated since it was built in 1936 – boasting the original carbon projectors, original seating including the “Love Seat, original old movie posters of yesteryear and also a look at their Museum attached to the theatre.
- Forbes Historical Motor Museum
- a unique tractor collection
- the Dish at Parkes
- a quick lap around Mt. Panorama and a look into its Museum
- the township of Sofala (claiming to be the oldest surviving gold mining town in Australia) a
- Hill End—wandering the streets of this remarkably well-preserved colonial goldmining town is like stepping back in time – there are even underground mines to crawl through
