  Bearfoot Bowls is Back!

  Come down to the Erko Bowlo for a fun afternoon with your bear mates!

  We will be enjoying some games of lawn bowls, BBQ & bevies in the sun. White bowls uniforms not required... we promise!  But bring some sunscreen.

  Don't worry, a lot of us don't know how to play bowls and will be learning on the day. We will split up the groups into those who are playing just for fun and those who take competition a bit more seriously. 

  The afternoon will kick off with a BBQ lunch at noon, followed by bowls!

  Woof in the Woods: Winter

  Harbour City Bears' Woof in the Woods is back for winter!

  We're adding a second camping event to our year, and it's upgraded in every way!

  Some of the camp sites are powered! And there's a cottage with 4 bedrooms available those who want a little more luxury. And we're keeping all the things you loved about the summer event and adding even more- it's now a 4-day weekend!

  We've booked out Crooked Corner Cottage & Campsites, for an extra-long weekend, Thursday 1 August to Sunday 4 August.

  The retreat has lots of space for us to spread out - over 100 acres! It also has a lake suitable for swimming, a tennis court, bushland for walking, and on-site accommodation.

  What's On

  The days are free for you to relax and explore the local area.

  Thursday night we've got a BBQ and camp movie night, with BBQ dinner supplied, and a camp movie classic, follow by drinks and chats around the fire.

  Friday night make your own dinner in the shared kitchen or BBQ, or head into town to one of the local pubs. After dinner, relax with a drink around the campfire, play some games, take advantage of the new moon to do some stargazing, or find out exactly what it is that bears do in the woods at night.

  Saturday night after you've made your own dinner, we will have bear beats for us to enjoy, as well as other Saturday night activities that our previous attendees know and love- there's a dancefloor, a play area, and bears ready to go!

  Accommodation Options

  Unpowered Camping

  You can camp anywhere on the site, as near or far from other campers as you want. There's lots of areas available to camp, including some that are only accessible with a 4WD or by bushwalking.

  
  

  Around the camp kitchen are plenty of spaces, but there are also some sloped areas, so if you want to be super close to the action, make sure you are ok camping on a slope. The campgrounds further afield have excellent flat areas, and lots of privacy and quiet.

  Powered Camping

  The camp kitchen & meeting house has a few external powerpoints available to the campsites near the building. Perfect for bears with CPAPs! Note that these are quite limited, so if you already have a battery for your CPAP, please bring it to free up a powerpoint for another bear.

  King Rooms

  If you're not the camping type, but still want to come along for a great weekend away, the cottage also has separate bedrooms with king beds, each with their own external access.

  

  Bunk Beds

  The cottage has a bedroom with 4 bunk beds, for those who want a little more comfort, at a lower price.

  

  Important Information

  Getting there

  Crooked Corner is about 3 hours drive from the city, and is about halfway between Goulburn and Bathurst. If you're a solo traveller or a newbie, join our Facebook Messenger chat room to organise a lift!

  What you'll need

  Everyone will need to bring:

  • Food
    • Breakfasts for Friday, Saturday & Sunday
    • Lunches for Friday and Saturday
    • Dinner for Friday and Saturday nights
    • Snacks for the whole weekend
    • Drinks - Soft and Hard
  • Insect repellent & sunscreen
  • A hat, sunglasses & thongs (or other slip-on shoes)
  • Warm clothing (as it will get cold overnight)
  • Toiletry items (deodorant, toothbrushes etc.)
  • An extra towel for swimming
  • A camp chair and table if you have one (there are on-site chairs and tables, but not enough for everyone)
  • An extension cord for power, and a plug-board

  In addition to that, If you're staying in a campsite, you'll also need:

  • A tent, RV, caravan, swag or other shelter
  • A sleeping bag or other bedding
  • A pillow and something soft to sleep on (e.g. an inflatable mattress, a pad, or a camp bed)
  • A long extension cord for power, and a plug-board
  • Towels and soap

  CPAP users

  If you're staying in a room, there are powerpoints available, however they aren't right next to the beds. You'll need a plugboard and extension cable for your CPAP machine.

  If you're camping, there are powerpoints on the outside of the central camp building, as well as behind the rooms, and t so make sure you set your tent up nearby, and ensure you bring an extension cable long enough to run from there to your campsite.

  Accessibility

  The main site is reasonably accessible, it's mostly flat and has few steps. There are some slopes and hills. Further out on the property the ground can be quite uneven, with the trails connecting the sites being mini-bushwalks.

  The movie night will be subtitled in English, however the subtitles may be dialog-only, not full SDH.

  Where?: Crooked Corner Cottage, 342 Bigga Rd, Crooked Corner NSW 2583

  When?: 2pm Thursday 1 August to 10am Sunday 4 August (3 nights, 4 days)
