    What about Morton Island?
    Would make it easier for people not suited to outback touring

    Does everyone have to go to the same place or can people, for example, group together with other people that want to go to similar areas?

    it would be better if we had a meetup like the simpson as you get to meet other members that possibly you wouldnt normally, im just thinking somewhere central to make it easy and less travel for us poor sandgropers

    By definition it then wouldn't be a "national meetup".

    I also believe it should be a total experience in itself

    The main problem, as always, is the geography of Oz.
    Bugger all people live in the middle so eventually the middle doesn't become a viable destination if different experiences are one of the aims.

    Eventually you end up somewhere near the major population centres

    Personally speaking I love visiting Tassie or Qld or NT or (insert other states etc here).
    Been a visitor to Tas heaps, seen lots and still have a list of bits I want to see.
    I've lived in NSW, Qld, NT and WA and still have a heap of spots to visit in them as well

    I think the "National Meetup" should continue and the destination should be
    a) remote
    b) a destination in itself and then if it lends itself to a seperate trip or activity once get you there, great
    c) a couple of thousand K's or so from the destination of the prev 2 or maybe 3

    EG purely hypothetically to illustrate
    2014 Dalhousie
    2015 Tassie (say Strahan)
    2016 Cape York
    2017 Googs Track or Connie Sue or whatever
    2018 Gibb River Road (say Kununnurra) or CSR or Bungles
    2019 West Macs/Uluru/Kings Canyon or Great Central
    etc
    etc

    Yes, Coffs is good, (Ballina is better but I'm biased)
    Yes, so is the Flinders and the WA SE Coast and the Alps and Cape Trib etc etc etc

    By all means continue with "regional meetups" that the "locals" or forumites find appealing/easier/cheaper/convenient, I am all in favour of that but I just think the National Meetup should be a real out there type trip.

    Not everyone will make the most of the nationals, indeed some will only make maybe 1 and many won't get to any of them but I'd like them to be lifetime memories.

    Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
