What sort of help are thinking that would be required
I will put my hand up for sure but will give definite answer closer to the date 
Hi Team,
I’ve had a little look on google maps at the area. Can’t find the Heazlewood Bridge?
Thanks in advance
It’s the bridge over the Heazlewood River on the Waratah to Corinna Road, between Luina and Savage River mine.

Hi all, camping sites at the Heazlewood bridge are fairly limited and access tight for caravans, but just 10 minutes back up the road towards Waratah is the old townsite of Luina which has ample space for caravans etc. Just bring your own supplies of drinking water and firewood.
Luina has phone reception too.
Cheers, Fox.

Keen to come, not sure what help I will be, but love to be a part of it anyway.
Craig,
I assume it’s 3.6 km west of Hazelwood. There is a bridge over the Hazelwood river

G’day all, if camping at the Luina town site, please be aware that there are TWO lots of bee hives sitting there, most likely a fair bit apart. From own bee keeping experience the leatherwood tends to make them a bit agro if coming close to the hives.
See you there
Ray

Hope to be in Luina mid afternoon. Towing the van from Dodges Ferry. Many others planning on camping there? I haven’t been to the old town before but assuming there is lots of spots to park up for a few days.

How is everyone going at Heazlewood river
Today ?
What are you finding?
Hi, had an amazing time, found Gold, Osmeridium, jasper, pyrite, galena, maybe metallic zinc, still to test it, peacock ore. Unfortunately not enough gold for Ron to make a decision on mining yet. But they ran a fantastic event.
