Proposed date for this years event is weekend of 24-25 November, however I'm aware that Saturday 24th is the date of the Victorian election, so it would mean prior postal voting for any Victorian participants...
Speak up if you intend attending, and if the proposed date is inconvenient enough to warrant postponing the event to a later date, though for me at least, the following weekend is also inconvenient due to another commitment.
I figure on booking our campsite/s? later this month while we still have plenty of options available for choice in late Nov.
In previous years most usually arrive Friday night and depart late Sunday afternoon.
Further information about ParksVic camp fees etc to be added here when I copy my previous links from previous Aidfest posts.

Copy of a 2016 post containing general info...
>Site inclusion covers up to 6 people and one vehicle, with additional vehicles costing $9.70 per vehicle, per site, per night, though the Rangers have been pretty good (flexible) with our group in the past ... and hopefully will be again.
>We normally split costs depending on how many attend and how long they stay...
>If any want to extend the booking into the following week then that shouldn't be a problem as mid-week bookings are normally much easier to obtain...
Our preferred site/s when I book are 12 and 13, though we made do with 56 in 2016.
>NOTE: Site 56 is not our 'usual' site as the usual site (and others close to it) were already pre-booked; however Site 56 still has a table, tap, and fireplace (byo wood), along with a great view, ... so was definitely the best of the remaining sites for our purposes and still relatively close to the amenities block.
>It is located to the left as you enter the Catani area, ie closer to the lake, see
