yeah 40-50 minutes south, near Kiama... otherwise.. i would try up at wilton (i've never observed at wilton but have driven through there at night and it seems pretty dark).. wilton would be about 15-20mins drive south of campbelltown and probably around 30 mins from wollongong!

I have heard they have an airport at wilton, that doesn't have night facilities... so it may be a place to investigate! other then that.. they have an oval where they play footy.. that would be my other place to go... otherwise cataract scout camp between wollongong and wilton... i wouldnt go into the camp site, but i would park by the road.. the road looks like it would be pretty abandoned at night.. but then again u never know with the hooligans these days!

Rowena & co., We W.A.A.C.ers have used the Cataract Scout Park carpark ocassionally in the past. If you contact the warden at the gate house & mention that you're a W.A.A.C.er, then I'm sure he'll call the cops.......errr let you in. No really, they're a good bunch up there. May even get a key.
Keep us informed with your details of when the big nite is on, O.K.
Reagrds, L.

Not in the carpark! Ranger chases 'em out. We've never had any trouble with them. They usually just sit in their cars at the other end of the carpark & 'SMOKE'. L.
