Zensu Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi everyone! We have decided to trek to Cohuna/Kerang this year from Adelaide. Can anyone who has been please give me some info on the best accomodation -motel, caravan park, camping etc? Do many people camp? Looking forward to going!

teddywaddy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Hi Zensu, There is not much to really choose from, the motels in Cohuna were booked out three weeks go and so was the caravan park, there were still cabins at Barham/Koodrook last week, it's about 23kms away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teddywaddy Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 I have a powered site at the motel, I am canceling if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blakbelgian Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Enjoy BUT pack your air con, cool coats etc as typically these shows are HOT. You show on an oval so no shade around that. Some shade but no where near the rings. Plus the aeroguard for flies. BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Baggins Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Zensu caravan park is just across the road. Lovely park powered sites are good. Nice amenities block. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zensu Posted February 19, 2012 Author Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks BilboBagins! Am really looking forward to a weekend away with my hubby. Will be nice and relaxing, hopefully not too hot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TessnSean Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Thanks BilboBagins! Am really looking forward to a weekend away with my hubby. Will be nice and relaxing, hopefully not too hot! It is always super hot and humid. Saturday is opening for the duck season and while the shooting has never worried my dogs, the shotguns going off do upset a lot of them. Industrial strength fly repellent too. It is a dairy area and the flies stick like glue without it. Surface is always really, really nice there. Just don't set up near the porta lights they have for Friday show. The generators on those are really, really noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanati Whippets Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The weather isn't bad unless your from the likes of Melbourne :laugh: The flies are horrid though! Most places in Cohuna will be booked out but we camp on the grounds most years and i only live 30min from there.....its just a really nice weekend out! Provided you have a good gazebo with mesh walls or a good tent (for the mozzies & flies) camping is good there...lots of people do every year.

Haha dont worry about the noise... its the insects that flock to the lights that then fall onto the tents or down peoples shirts!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvawilow Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Kerang's on 20min away I think and a few accommodation providers there. I think Gunbower also has a CP. The mozzies are fierce there so be armed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zensu Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Is there camping on the actual show grounds? or must you camp at the Caravan Park? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnoPaws Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 We have always stayed in cabins at Gunbower but this year will be camping in a powered site at the caravan park in Cohuna, it is pretty much right next door. Not sure if there are showers or powered sites at the show grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
