Well, ..... do you really mean, money and other commitments aside??? ... I'd love Bellingen (kinda half way between Bris/Gold Coast and Syd/Newcastle), or there is a great old hotel in Urunga with accommodation. My motorcycling friends and family have stayed there.

There is no camp ground in Bellingen, but you can camp at the showground.

Bamedam sounds pretty good in the Numinbah Valley (in the hinterland behind the Gold/Tweed Coast).

What about at a health retreat where we can do yoga and eat yummy stuff, have classes, then eat more yummy food, have a nap, then a easy bush walk, then a big dance/drum jam, some more food (and alcohol), more dancing and bazaar shopping - then to bed - and do that 3 days in a row. - Pick up camp then ... hey wait a bit ...

Announcing The Travelling Tribal Jam Busters!!!! - a traveling group of musicians, dancers and teachers, roam around Australia to teach, jam and socialise with other tribal nuts. Of course the fans and participants would have to give alms to the Travelling Tribal Jam Busters to help fund this folly. One of the things the TTJB does is to enable smaller groups who feel isolated to link with other smaller groups who feel isolated and then they become part of the Travelling Tribal Jam Busters, and then we could have a lineage thing going.

Then one day someone will write a book about the development of this curious cultural change in Australia, and teachers will dedicate their productions (books, DVD's etc) to the early tribes and teachers in Australia.

Who knows, one day we may become extinct and they will produce documentaries about the curious sub-culture of tribal dancers ....
