The Chairman's Run - Darling River
 |
The Chairman's Run - Darling River gave us some challenges as the rain kept the roads closed to several places we wanted to visit. With 10 vans we travelled to Bourke and ended up staying another 2 nights, before travelling to Cobar as the roads were closed heading to Louth. We eventually made it to Wilcannia for a great couple of day at Warrawong on the Darling, an ACC RV STAY park. We were lucky that by the time we needed to head to Menindee the western road down the Darling was open. On reaching Copi Holow Caravan Park, we headed out to Kinchega Woolshed, Bourke & Wills Camp Site, while some ventured into Broken Hill others visited Sunset Strip. Next Stop Pooncarie. A visit to Mungo National Park, and a meal at the Pooncarie Hotel were made for an enjoyable stay. With Wentworth our stop, we all enjoyed seeing the junction of the Darling and the Murray and our farewell Dinner. Little did we know that by the end of the trip we had contributed $27,128 to the local economy |
Queensland State Muster
The Queensland State Muster bought together members for all over Queensland for a week of friendship and fun. With happy hours, games afternoons, farm visit, macadamia deserts and just a good time.
ACC Sugar City Pioneers Hillsborough Muster
Members gathered at Cape Hillsborough for a four-day muster in May. The location being close to their base in Mackay, has often been overlooked by members. It offered a very scenic and relaxing environment for muster attendees. With the addition of numerous games we were all well entertained.
The early morning wallaby feeding on the beach attracted strong interest from both park attendees, and the public. Put it on your list, it is a great location.
ACC Sugar City Pioneers Christmas in July Muster at Finch Hatton
Members had a great few days celebrating Christmas in July at Finch Hatton Showgrounds. Although a wet start to the muster, the weather turned around on day 2 to end up perfect for the rest of the muster. The branch also took advantage of the muster and held their AGM during the event with several members coming out for the AGM.
Industry News
Over the past months we have heard of many caravan businesses and manufacturers either going into administration or just simply closing. The current list consists of:
Note: The JB Group have purchased the intellectual properties of Network RV.
While the above news is certainly not good news, the industry report for 2025 still shows some encouraging signs.

The line was extended to Gugong and Dunedoo between 1909 – 1910. The passenger service ceased in 1985, being replaced by coaches.

Spencer Cocoa
 |
First lets tell the story of Spencer Cocoa. It started in 2006 when Luke took a break from the corporate world and ended up in the Solomon Islands teaching English and agriculture at a college on the Island of Malaita. A few years later an opportunity to live & work in the Pacific Island culture came as part of a contract managing a large commercial cocoa plantation in Vanuatu. After 2 years working and living on the island of Malekula, Luke retuned to Australia with a dream of making his own chocolate from this extraordinary tree crop. After much work and clever engineering, Spencer Cocoa officially produced it’s first Vanuatu origin bars in 2013. Come and try the Spencer Cocoa. |
