Nyah Develops Great Rally Stopover  

Looking for a great stopover on the way to the Whyalla CMCA Anniversary Rally? Come to Nyah on the weekend of 13th and 15th March 2009.Nyah is 42 km west of Swan Hill on the Murray Valley Highway. The Nyah community has been working hard to develop an area where motorhomes and caravans can visit their area with the knowledge that they will be offered an attractive area to "bush camp" with no overnight fee. The area they can offer us access to is beside the Harness Racing facility. There is a toilet block and dump point[ provided by the CMCA/ Kea Program}. Good water is also available. The area is within easy walking distance to the Murray River and the small shopping centre of Nyah. On the weekend 14th and 15th March the Lion's Club are organising a weekend for the morhomers travelling to Whyalla or who are just looking for a few days away in a great spot. At this stage the program would be: Dinner at the Tooleybuc Club on Friday night. A special meal is being negotiated.  Saturday morning there will be a Bush market on the grounds. Any members wishing to have a stall at the market would be most welcome. A BBQ meal and entertainment will be available on Saturday night using the large centre on the grounds. Sunday morning there is another Bush Market in nearby Swan Hill. Depending on numbers a Disc Bowls Comp could be arranged.  Nyah is a small community that can see the benefits of making the travelling public welcome at their town. The site at the Harness Racing facility is available throughout the year and would be a great venue for Chapter weekends of for a group of motorhomers  travelling the Murray Valley Highway. Travellers to the Whyalla Rally are welcome to stay for as long as they wish, both before and after the weekend  13th to 15th March. Thinking of calling in on your way to Whyalla? Give David or Lyn a call on 0408554580 or email thechalkies@bigpond.com or thechalkies@bordernet.com.au  so that we can give the organisers an idea of the numbers. It is not necessary to book in. Nyah would love to see you there.
