ASNSW were still looking for volunteers to bring gear to the Parra event a couple of weeks ago.
There is also Macquarie Uni's open night the same day. Quote:

This year, for the first time, we have stepped up the advertising and,
with the increased the range of activities, we are hoping to attract
in excess of 500 people, hopefully many more.
