Trial Manager, Peter Serle, advises that the camping / meeting location will be on the Northern side of the property this year (ie NOT the area near the airstrip). This is not the easiest location to find for the uninitiated, so if anyone is wondering where to go, follow these directions...

Entry to Arthursleigh will be via Arthursleigh Road [Do not use the Canyonleigh Road entry]. From Marulan: At the intersection of George Street and Brayton Road, travel west on Brayton Road. After 1km turn right to continue on Brayton Road and travel for approximately 19.3 km (go straight through the "5 ways"). Continue straight onto Arthursleigh Road (Brayton Road will turn left). At the T intersection after approx 1.2km turn left to continue on Arthursleigh Road, there will be a right turn onto the property soon after. Continue approx. 5km (on dirt road) to the Shearer's Quarters. Basically, follow the dirt road into the property keeping to the left and you should get there.

...better still open this google map and search for directions from your starting point.

Good luck!
