Note:

• Those attending the reunion will need to find their own accomodation or are welcome to stay in the Ironbark dorms which are far more modern than you would remember with flushing toilets and regular shower cubicles. Please bring your own linen and pillow if you choose this option.
• Other accommodation options are available nearby in Crows Nest from pubs, caravan parks with cabins, B&Bs and hotels.
• Caravan and mobile homes are welcome too at Ironbark.
• Ravensbourne Escape https://ravensbourneescape.com.au/ are holding in reserve their holiday cabins for us. If anyone wishing to organise a group to stay together then Ravensbourne could be an option. It will be a case of first in first serve. You will need to contact them directly and mention you are attending the SPLC Ironbark reunion.
• Please feel free to bring photos and memorabilia for a display
