Ok, so I went up to Kulnura yesterday to check out the site. From the Gosford exit on the freeway, allow about 30 minutes to get there.
It's further along George Downs Drive than you probably expect (about 10-15 minutes drive), and it's further along Springs Road than you expect (about 5 minutes drive). But there are signs to "The Paintball Place", so it's not too hard to find.
On George Downs Drive, there's a sign on the right to "The Paintball Place" which has a "turn right in 100m". That takes you onto Springs Road. The sign to turn left onto Greta Road isn't as prominent but can be seen, and the street itself is well signposted.
Ok so there's 2 potential fields where we can setup..
(images are heavily compressed to keep the size down)
Field 1:
Pros:
- Entry and parking is easy, enter in the 3rd gate along Greta road and you're right there
- Close to facilities and amenities, including toilets, power, seating
- Flat grassy ground
Cons:
- 30 degrees of horizon blocked due to trees, in most directions (also a good thing to block skyglow from sydney)
Field 2:
Pros:
- More view of the horizons
Cons:
- Further from the facilities and amenities
- A bit harder to drive to (through some bush)
- Ground bumpier (not as flat)
Like John said, I think field 1 is probably the best for saturday night. Most of the stuff we look at won't be on the horizon. And being close to the facilities is an advantage. But i'm easy, what are your thoughts?
There's some great BBQ facilities there too, so the May 7 party is looking very nice for another kulnura visit, if all goes to plan this weekend.
Thanks heaps to Anthony and his boss for allowing us to use the site.
