Nothing on the QLD Astrofest website as yet, but after seeing information elsewhere, a 2014 organising committee member (Wendy) told me the last thing they did was confirm booking of the 2015 dates with the Camp Dudkadang managers.
Cool - sounds good. I see they have bunks. What's the eating arrangement? Bring your own or on-site? I see it seems pretty isolated. What's the next place for provisions? Moore, Blackbutt/Yarrman or Kilcoy? Kilcoy looks pretty good at 30min drive.

The camp management provides meals (which you pay for) and/or you can bring your own food. Kilcoy is certainly a good option.

I don't see anything about 2015.
Don't think anybody claimed that the 2015 stuff is up yet. I'm sure it will be eventually...
Ta Rick. Your post made me re-read what had been written. My mistake.
No probs! I know a couple of the organisers and I'm sure they are hard at work planning things for next year. The web registration process has been somewhat challenging in previous years and may be again

I'd be very careful about stopping in Kilcoy though Marc! Some of the locals there can be pretty rough!
If there's anyone into cakes there's a good cake shop in Blackbutt, about 40 minutes away. And if anyone is into nuts (the edible variety!) then the peanut van in Kingaroy is another (relatively) local experience

Got a feeling I know who the ring leader is

Over the road from Coff & Co Bread, Pies and Cakes is the Kilcoy Craft Market - 21 Hope Street Kilcoy on Google maps. If you have forgotten to pack your beanie, stop in and see the ladies there. Hand knitted wool beanies - great quality at a very fair price.
oh goodie I might be going up there for an afl footy match around that time I might just have to add this to my itinerary while I'm up there for the week hehehe ooohhhh don't you just love it when you plan a holiday that can coincide with astronomy I will talk the hubby into the footy match then break the astrofest to him gently at a later date once I have my tickets " inserts evil grin here "
