R.O.S.A'S Camping

Saturday 6th/Sunday 7th July

Camping at Balgal Beach on the Beach Front

Lynda and Sue will be heading to Balgal on Saturday just after lunch to camp the night and come back late Sunday. (There are some ladies from Maggie Island who have said they are going up on Friday afternoon if anyone wants to make it a full weekend.) For those who do not like camping, join us just for a day trip. It's the best weather for spending time at the beach.

BYO everything as normal. There are toilets, fresh water taps, cold water shower and a huge Rotunda with tables and seats available. And for those brave enough to face the cold you can swim in the ocean. For those interested you can fish from the beach and there is a boat ramp near by. It's a great beach and we may get a bonfire on the beach happening after dark.

We can meet at the Bohle Barn at 1.30pm for those wanting to travel up with Lynda and Sue or you can just meet up there.

The Local Townsville Phone and Street Directory has it on Map 5. Travel North to the Balgal Beach/Mystic Sands turn off. (Just before the Rollingstone River/William Crabb Bridge). Head along Balgal Beach Road to the 3rd Turn which is Acheron Ave. Travel till you reach a "T" Intersection and turn left. Turn first right into Justin Street and travel to the end which is the carpark and camp ground. Then stake our claim.

At our events it would be good if we could wear something purple or rainbow, even if it is a ribbon or tie a purple/rainbow ribbon to our cars as this makes us easily identifiable when people are meeting us at the outings. When it is appropriate the rainbow flag will be displayed or alternatively a purple flag.
