Australia National Convention

WNBR Australia National Convention New Year 2101-2011
Following the success of WNBR promotional activities at ConFest over the 2007-2008 New Year period and again over Easter 2008, the first WNBR Australia National Convention was held at ConFest over the 2008-2009 New Year period. WNBR Australia National Conventions will be an ongoing feature of ConFest. Everyone is welcome to participate.

Details

  • Dates: Wednesday 29th of December 2010 to Wednesday the 5th of December 2011. Gates usually open a day early, ( check ConFest website for details ).
  • Place: Woorooma ConFest Site East of Moulamein
  • Cost: ConFest entry is $80 for adults and $1 for children under 16 years old. All the activities and workshops (including the WNBR Australia National Convention) within the site are free.

Please bring your pushbike

The terrain is fairly flat though there are no paved roads within the ConFest site so it suits bikes with wide tyres like BMXs, Mountain Bikes, Ladies Shopper Bikes and Cruisers. Road bikes and racers are not recommended. The area is known for having thorns which can pierce tyres and tubes so make your tyres thorn-proof if you can and you MUST bring a puncture repair kit. At New Year Confest 2008-2009 we found that keeping on the beaten track, staying off all the ground vegitation and staying down on the river terraces where it is shady and greener rather than going up on the paddocks towards the main gate on the plains kept us away from the thorns. If you can bring a spare bike (or three) to share with others that would be fantastic because the number of people keen to participate has exausted WNBR stocks of bikes at previous ConFests.

Features of the programme include:

  • World Naked Bike Ride practice rides. Twice daily clothing optional bike rides through the vast (nearly 1000 acres) natural Confest private site. Spread the message of peace, love, and protection of mother earth through sustainable cycling.
