Please see Serfty’s post 205 just above and click on the information link just above.
Also Pleae see post 206 immediately above.
There are 4 Ozfest attendees in the lobby bar who are probably near you.

Just ask around.
There is a huge dirt bike event over 4 or 5 days in tow.
If they start talking to you about mud and gear differentials, not them.
If they start talking about the terrible United miles devaluation - that’s the right crowd.
