CDSA Gathering and AGM in 2009

CLAN DAVIDSON GATHERING AND CDSA AGM

Book Now!

FRIDAY to SUNDAY 13-15th MARCH 2009

Don’t miss this opportunity to visit the beautiful INVERELL DISTRICT in Northern NSW– experience the unique OPERA IN THE PADDOCK, see the recently heritage-listed MYALL CREEK MASSACRE SITE and get together with local and visiting clanspeople – all organised by our Gathering Hosts, IAN and MARGARET DAVIDSON of “The Wilgas”, Delungra. The Annual General Meeting of the Society will be held in the nearby Myall Creek Hall after a barbeque lunch.

We recommend that you secure your accommodation without delay in Inverell (or Bingara, or Warialda, or Delungra), as over 2,000 other people will be flocking to the area to attend Opera in the Paddock, which is staged beneath a specially erected canopy on a property just a few miles from “The Wilgas”. Clan Davidson has secured tables and chairs in the top spot for you to enjoy a picnic supper as you watch and listen to entertainment provided by stars of Opera Australia.

HOW TO GET THERE?

You really need a car, or to team up with someone who is driving to the Gathering. Delungra is west of Inverell, which is accessible by car from the New England Highway at either Glen Innes (if coming from Queensland), Armidale (if coming from the NSW coast) or Tamworth (if coming from the south).

There is an air service direct to Inverell, but if you use this you would still need to hire a car at the airport unless cooperating with someone who could pick you up there. Alternatively, fly to either Armidale or Tamworth with Qantaslink and hire a car there.

There is a bus link provided by NSW Countrylink rail service but no direct rail service to Inverell.
