Just a thought... do we as a group try our best to cram into the main paddock (unlikely we will be all togeather) OR, do we head for the back paddock and congerate there?
I visited that paddock last year and there is pleanty of room and its tidy, however it is some what segergated from the main crowd.

I did a lap over the last couple of days and can report that Arthurs Pass, Buller Gorge, Lewis Pass and SHWY 6 between Springs Junction and Nelson are all good with no road works anywhere.
I thought the other paddock was crap last year compared to the main paddock - lumpy, longish grass, and cow shit. I'll be in the main paddock.
And you'll turn up?
The views expressed above may not match yours - But that's the reason my Dad went to war - wasn't it?
Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!
Assuming I was looking in the right place when I went for a nosey while killing some time on a work trip a while back, is the main paddock the one with the building in it below the road, and the other paddock up above the road? If so then the upper paddock was looking pretty tidy and campable when I was there.
Probably a good question to ask anyway so I know where the hell I'm going (assuming the duc is back in one piece and had it's buggered bits replaced by then)

And rocks too
Right underneath the fireworks launch spot too
main paddock has the building along the roadside & the un fenced area above the road (sth side) is where the entertainment is.
next paddock along from the main one the 2nd tent site
You are right that the main paddock has the building in it (toilets & showers) but the area above the road is the whole entertainment area, bar, band,games etc, so no camping there.
The second paddock is right next to the main one (up river) and you access it by the road between that carrys on through the site![]()

Never knew about no caves either, and the only glow worms I ever seen was in the wet T, or was that wet jock? was that this rally or another... oh dam the mind is blending time into one...
This was some pics I got in 09, dont think I went in 10. or did I? Below is from the top of said alternate area. I would say arriving on the Friday, should be plety o space in std spot. It was pretty lumpy in that alt spot, not that is was terrible, but if one was a little inhibited, you might not make it back to ya tent.
There were some shit tents in the area
Lookin forward to this one.
