SAFETY MOMENT #2
Please drive SLOWLY past farm houses on Carterhope Road. 30km please.
SAFETY MOMENT
You must take care turning off the main highway onto Carterhope Road.
Best advice is to pull over to the left, then make sure both ways are clear.
Just a few reminders for the weekend……
EFTPOS for your entries, Scouts have EFTPOS also for food purchases.
Breakfast available each morning, bacon butties.
Coffee cart on site Friday, but alas not Saturday
