Helen -To help you make the decision (by this Friday) on whether you may join us for a Xmas/Jan weekend at the Imbil Caravan Park, following are price etc details:

Deluxe Cabins   ($90) sleeps 6 but $13 per extra adult over first two
Budget Cabins   ($70) sleeps two (double bed)

Powered Sites  $17 per adult,  $32 per couple, $7 per child, $10 per student

You camp along the waters of the Yabba Creek under large shade trees.  apparently the fishing is very good.  There is a basic kiosk in the camp with ice, bait and gas.  Boat & kayak hire available, a Laundromat a v basic children's playground and a great undercover area for a nightly get-together.  Also, Margaret and I managed to buy a couple of clothing items at the local dress shop - enough incense to knock you out.  Interesting.

please give Judy an idea by Friday.  Thanks

As usual, Sergeant Gerry made us pay up for our misdeeds.
