Sounds really interesting. Please put Mrs. ac777 and me as Gold for the time being and I'll try and confirm it within the next few weeks. Will probably stay at the 4Pts as it seems quite new and I can use the points ( still)

It's new inasmuch as it is new to SPG. The hotel itself opened in 1995 (as The Orchard, then the Grand Chancellor, then the Citigate, and now the 4Pts)

A pity that the impending Doubletree in KTA won't be finished in time for ozfest X, othewise we might have been able to do a FIFO visit to the property....or even some of us could have stayed there and flown in for the daily activities

Thanks for finding this rate Bob. I'm now holding a reservation. I'm still only Gold but a decent hotel rate certainly isn't hurting my chances of attending.

My rate does include a Continental breakfast, although other rates do not. Watch this close if it's important to you.

Add Mrs WF and I as attendees. At least for the moment I don't have to worry about hotel bookings OTOH if the flat gets sold I could afford a few hotel nights.
If there is interest in a pre- or post- event/tour into one of the more interesting wine areas (The Great Southern region - not the other one) I would be willing to co-ordinate. Skywest has multiple flights to Albany from Perth every day (beware they are not inexpensive) or it is about a four and a half hour drive. As well as grapes and the resulting products, there are a few olive groves, numerous sheep and cows as well as places of interesting geological importance. And Whale World is a museum based on the last operating whaling station in Australia.
And the hotels/motels are a whole lot less expensive than Perth.
Happy wandering

Virgin will be including meals for BNE/MEL/SYD-PER flights for economy passengers from Sept. They will also match Qantas on the alcoholic beverages after midday.
