is to drive down to Tuross Heads on the south coast (2.5hr drive) on Friday
night and car camp at a caravan park which is just metres from a surf beach and
10 minutes walk to the shops. With a surf beach and sheltered lakes it is an
ideal location for sailing, kayaking, surfing or just relaxing on the beach. On
the Saturday night there will be the traditional BBQ and beach party.

racing, coaching powerboats will be on hand to give advice and assist you.
This is an excellent opportunity to learn to race however there is no compulsion
to race and you could just go sailing with the added safety of rescue boats.
There is no cost since it is paid by the ANUSC.</FONT></SPAN></P>
