Group bookings for accommodation has closed. We are happy to accept further cars on the trip but you will need to book your own accommodation.

Dubbo Zoo

If this looks familiar it is because this is a second attempt at last years run, defeated by floods.

Join us for a trip to the zoo and maybe a stopover in gaol.

Day 1 will leave Milton and travel via Braidwood for morning tea, Crookwell for lunch, overnight in Millthorpe.

Day 2 will leave for Dubbo, with lunch and local sightseeing, perhaps a visit to Dubbo Gaol.

Day 3 will start with a half day tour of the zoo. Bicycles are available for hire, walking is for the fit but some may like a golf buggy for the morning. Lunch will be at the zoo before we head off for the overnight stop in Cowra. A rest stop at the Parkes "dish" is also on the agenda.

Day 4 commences with a visit to the Japanese POW camp then morning tea at the Japanese Gardens. Lunch is planned for Boorowa before the journey home.
