Lightning Ridge Weekend - Information from PP Ian
12 months ago Coonabarabran Rotary Club decided to have a social weekend away and to invite our friends to
join us. We would like you and your friends to come.
The weekend is the 13th/14th September 2014. It will be at Lightning Ridge. The LR Rotary Club have agreed to
cater for our group at the Opal Caravan Park for dinner on the Saturday night. The OCP is a new caravan park
out near the Lightning Ridge bore baths.
On the Sunday Lightning Ridge has its market day and the LR Rotary Club will be cooking breakfast there. The
Ridge also has many tourist attractions including bus tours, walking tours, mine tours, opal shops, and art gallery.
I believe that nearer the time that we will be able to organise discounts for numbers at some of the operators.
Check out their website.
I hope to be able to get some locals to participate in the entertainment on Saturday night. Please bring your bush
yarn (‘true” of course).
At this time the Opal Caravan Park has 13 cabins available which will sleep about 40 people. $110 per night per
couple plus $15 per night /per additional adult where the cabin will sleep more than two. They have agreed to hold
them for two weeks (phone 0268294884). Please make your individual arrangements. They also have tent sites
and caravan sites. Let them know that you are with rotary.
