Speaker 1: event that's been running for over twenty five years now,

6
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of different iterations. The past nine years it's

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 1: been a Lions project. Christy Milne is again helping pull

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,840
Speaker 1: this one together, promising over fifty sites to explore.

9
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 2: So this year we've got even more new players with

10
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: CMG campers and pegasusrvs. It's our locals that make it

11
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 2: really continue to work. So we've got lifestyl of there

12
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,239
Speaker 2: and this year we've got dn E back again, so

13
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,479
Speaker 2: that's really good. They didn't come last year, but they

14
00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: are excited to be back in the mix again.

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. They look like the heavy duty ones that you

16
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: could take off road.

17
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:51,720
Speaker 2: Exciting and that's what we're all liking to do nowadays

18
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 2: is get off the main road and go on adventures, aren't.

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: They Yeah, big time, big time. I was thinking about

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: the whole convenience factor of a motor home or a caravan.

21
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,120
Speaker 1: I've got a good buddy of mine, Paul, that went

22
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 1: camping a couple of weeks back. It's become a bit

23
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: of a family tradition for them to the farmyard near Geraldine,

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,039
Speaker 1: which is such a cool spot. But made a very

25
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: good point that you know, often when it comes to

26
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: going around holiday, we've got that finite window. You know,

27
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: this is when the leaves box, this is when it

28
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: has to happen. And when you're old school camping with

29
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: tents and you know, the weather is what it is,

30
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:29,759
Speaker 1: and if it's wet, as was the case for him,

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you make the most of the experience while

32
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: you're there, but it's all the admind when you get

33
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: home having to set up the tent again and dry

34
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: everything out. Don't need to worry about that with a caravan.

35
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: No, and have lots of fun. That's the thing we're

36
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: back into. We're so lucky in this country that we've

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 2: got beautiful green grass and meadows and just the vistas

38
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 2: are fabulous and we just got to get out and

39
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,080
Speaker 2: enjoy them.

40
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: So much to explore. I remember the last time you're

41
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 1: in here, you were talking about this card game you

42
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: play where you don't really have a destination. Some weekends

43
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: when you you just hit the road and play a

44
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: card that says, turn right, Okay, I guess I'm going

45
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: to go this way.

46
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 2: Yep, why not?

47
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: You must discover some pretty neat spots.

48
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 2: You do. And while you're in those really neat we spots,

49
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: you just run into some really neat people that are

50
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: same same frame of mind as yours to get out

51
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 2: and enjoy. And that's what this weekend's all about. So

52
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: it's not yeah, we've got the trade sites and they're

53
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 2: really important and we want to get as many people through,

54
00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: but we've also got really good food sites. There's fifteen

55
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: operators in there, so there's from the coffees to the

56
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:37,080
Speaker 2: bacon butties right through to good old Lions caravan with

57
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 2: hot dogs and chips. But then we've got some fancy

58
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 2: ones like k Pizza, pizzas and Hungry Potato and all

59
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 2: sorts in the air. And while you're enjoying that in

60
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,280

61
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: sunny day, absolutely, you're going to have some entertainment and

62
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 2: that's what we want. Look, it's only five dollars to

63
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 2: come through the gate and that all goes to you know,

64
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: it's looking after the community. This is a big thing

65
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 2: for our Lines group. It's one of our big fundraisers

66
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 2: and we've kept it at five dollars because we want

67
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 2: families to come out, although the kids are free anyway,

68
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: but the rest of you are just five dollars donation

69
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 2: and we're going to give that all back into the community.
