PORT CAMPBELL TRIP AWAY – FRIDAY 14TH MARCH TO SUNDAY 16TH MARCH 2025

Robert
Essendon Camera Club
Port Campbell Great Ocean Road

I would like to thank Robert Schirato for putting his hand up to volunteer for organising this trip. Every member’s help for the club contributes to all of us enjoying the outcomes and the benefits this brings to us all.

ACCOMMODATION

Please book your own accommodation and base it right in the town of Port Campbell so that the members are all together.

Bookings.com is a very good online accommodation website that offers great deals and many offer last minute free cancellations and also no payment till the last week or within.

Read the terms and conditions for each accommodation venue as they can vary.

DINING

Due to everyone having different tastes and different health reasons regarding dining, you will need to choose and book your own dinners with the Venues based in Port Campbell.

Robert has added a list of venues below.

Once we are on location we will name a Venue for all to meet at for drinks and chats after dinner

PUBLIC TOILETS
Public toilet locations list has been added below.

SUNRISE AND SUNSET SHOOTS

Locations can be discussed, revisited and organised at your own discretion.
For Sunrise shooters however please try to be back in time for Breakfast 9.00am as stated on the Itinerary so that as a group we can follow the locations together.

CAR POOLING

A Car pooling list will be available for those offering to drive. This will be at the Sign In book at meetings from next year. Please keep in mind to share the cost of fuel and road tolls if any to the owner of the vehicle.

EMERGENCIES

A list has been made of hospital and clinic locations within the area should the need arise. We will also be carrying a basic First Aid Kit.

Following is a list of Emergencies, Public Toilets dining venues and The Itinerary is at the very end for those who want to copy it.

We hope to see a few of you attend this trip. Thank you
