Can walkers still camp at the Marrabel Rodeo grounds?
Nick,
Not sure what the status of the rodeo ground is. The idea of putting in facilities there fell through a couple of years ago. You could contact the local council or the rodeo organisation. The pub is closed as of April 2019.
I’ve just spoken with the President of the Marrabel Rodeo Club Inc.
Walkers can stay at the Rodeo grounds where there are toilet facilities and water.
There is a small fee involved as well ( I don’t know how much; I’ll find out closer to the date of our walk).
Nick,
That’s good news. Thanks for the update as we weren’t sure quite what the status was. Can you let us know the fee, in due course.
Cheers
The hotel was permanently closed in April 2019.
