Report from Copeton Dam

I received this report from a friend who has just spent a few days at Copeton Dam and will be returning there for our rally. Unfortunately this Kiwi has a Boroma Caravan and it is equipped similar to our BT's, and I am sure that BT owners will welcome them to join in our activities. We have now left Copeton Dam and tonight we are up at Crows Nest north of Toowoomba. Copeton Bay was fantastic, but there are a few things that you may wish to pass onto the bushtracker owners attending the get together next week. 1- If Boggers are planning to put down matting in their awnings, it may be advisable for several of them to bring ( and share around) some type of bamboo broom or similar to rake up all the kangaroo poo, before they put down their matting - there is heaps of it down at Copeton Bay and when it gets wet - yuck!! 2- There are lots of taps down at Copeton Bay, but the water is untreated - straight from the lake I guess. Treated water suitable for drinking is available from two taps, 2 kms back down the road outside the bunkroom and laundry at the actual caravan park. Boggers may need to bring suitable containers to collect the drinking water if they do not fancy drinking the water from the taps at Copeton Bay. Its great for washing your hair though - no chemicals - soft hair!! We should arrive back at Copeton Dam late Thursday afternoon next week. Bye for now Smillie Henderson Hendo1944
