Corowa 2010 - Year of the Jeep

[Snowy]

A vehicle breakdown in central NSW stopped me from getting to Corowa last year, so I hope to get there for my first time next year. I'm considering driving down from Queensland in my WWII jeep - possibly, or flying to Melbourne(?) and finding some means of getting to Corowa from there. I won't know till closer to the event if I can get time to go, yet.
So my questions are - If I do drive, can I bring the entry form and pay when I arrive in Corowa? Do I still need to have an entry form if I don't attend with a vehicle? Or if I put in an entry and can't make it, would I be eligible for a refund?
Thanks for any comments. I hope to one day bring the Weasels down there, fingers crossed!

Hi Steve,
If you pay your $10 entry before the end of February you will receive a participant pack upon arrival at Ball Park Caravan Park. You will receive a certificate of attendance for your vehicle and other momentos. If you pay and don't end up attending the event we will organise for you to receive your momentos. It is too difficult to give refunds and most people are happy to receive something for their money.

By pre-registering it also makes it easier for us to put together your package prior to the event. To make things easier we might not be writing out certificates of attendance for people who don't pre-register.

Hope this answers your questions and good luck with getting your Jeep to Corowa in 2010.

OK thanks Jan for that. Do I need to send an entry form in if I don't bring a vehicle, or can I just turn up? Looks like Rex flies Sydney to Albury, and Mr Google reckons a bus goes from Albury to Corowa (via Barnawatha, which would be great to go through and see, as that is where my jeep came from according to its previous owner Thanks again,

Steve.

Hi Steve.
I recommend that you return an entry form with some money whether attending with or without a vehicle. You are officially then classed as a participant and will receive a package upon arrival at Corowa. This money then goes back into the organisation of the event for the following year. If you include your contact details I can then add you to my database.

OR hitch a ride in something green from Albury to Corowa...

Hi Steve,

Em and I are 99.9% certain we are going down sunday 7th to get the full week in. If you want, we can come pick you up somewhere whenever you get there- eg albury. We'll have both my ute and the jeep.

Also, I know of one little jeep which would be more than happy to passenger you around while your there. Its the least i could do considering the help you've given me in lifts here and there!


Cheers
Ian.

There are always people going to and from Albury so if there is anyone else requiring a lift the best thing to do is speak out.

More people are arriving the weekend before which is great but just be careful of accommodation as it is the Victorian Labour Day weekend and you might have difficulty getting a bed in town. If you do have problems contact the Corowa Tourist Information Centre directly and they will do a search for you. Their details are on our website.

OK thanks again Jan. Ian, thanks also for your kind offer, I'll keep that in mind!
Howard, my mum always told me never to hitchhike with strangers
But if it's green and ex-military, I may make an exception
