Yeah unsuccessful aussie here.......
thus means ive no 'boundaries' for the roar though

We missed out as well..

No dice on my application. Seems to be a common trend unfortunately

i was number 27X application.... so theres a fair few entering. i was fairly latish to the party.. i forget how many total allocations each ballot.

its always been a common theme, though i think you locals can capitolize on the last chance draw on empty blocks on the 7th if yer lucky....

ive only been hangin out for it since 2020...wsa hoping everyone forgot about it with Covid jabs etc ah haa

i did ask the doc person for if there ws somewhere to find info on the ballot, numebrs, stats etc... an i asked why i didnt get picked lol.... refering to , is it becoz blocks i chose were popular, or is it a total random, or if the info would show XX % put in for Block A would be kind of cool....... we are in 2022


being from out of town, with 3 banwell books , i picked spots that may of been extremely useful back in 1930..... not so today but it was more about being in that spot, with the chance of hearing that noise... that creates the magic of the place.

I ended up getting block 38 (not one I applied for or the period but I'm stoked).

Anyone been in there?

Haven’t been into that particular catchment but most around there. It’ll be worth the trip!

Cheers mate, she looks like some massive country all right

Have you been up those ways before?

Looks like flying in and walking out could be the go.

I dont think you can fly in there as is national park no landing. Happy to be corrected/confirmed if others know. Is about a 3-4 hour hike into first camp site as such.
