In response to our survey poll indicating strong interest in poly camping trip we have decided hold a weekend event on 14-16 October.
We hope to develop this into a twice yearly event. All Poly Groups / members Invited to attend. Entry is by Donation of $10 per person per night paid on the day to offset costs of camp facilities.
Day visitors are very welcome but we ask a $5 donation per person also pay on the day( bring fold out chairs).
Camping location is a beautiful spot on private property in the Gold Coast Hinterland.
The area chosen if flat , bounded by a flowing mountain creek and quite secluded.We will have a basic camp kitchen, bush showers and loo facilities. You will need to bring all camping gear, food and water, although the river water is drinkable (straight of a national park).
If you have cooking gear please bring it. Small camper trailers may be OK too provided they are behind a 4wd , the 4wd part is about 200 metres long. We will sign the track clearly from the entry off the main road. Access onto the property is fine however access to the camp spot may be restricted to 4wd depending on weather, in any case we will tractor ferry stuff/people down if need be.A few simple rules.people need to clean up afterwords , no rubbish left on site, no fires without checking with organizer first, no excessive drinking. Illicit/illegal drugs are banned, don't bring them please.
We'd like to make this adults only camping for now as its clothing optional / nudism friendly and being the first we'd like to see how the weekend goes.We will look into activities but primarily this is a social event so ALL members can have a nice relaxing weekend away in the company of poly friendly people.We'd like to encourage all members new and old to come along. We'd like to point out this is a POLY social weekend , anyone behaving sleazy or pushy will be asked to leave, Address supplied upon booking in.

The first ever Australian poly float in the Sydney Mardi Gras is happening in 2011 and we want you to participate!
Our theme will be POLYGLAMOROUS!
There is an organising committee and there will be regular meetings to discuss things, build the float, create costumes, fundraising etc.
If you want to get involved and want to march please go to the 'Poly Mardi Gras 2011' Facebook page and subscribe
We welcome all interstate visitors. We'll have a billeting system so homes and visitors needing beds/homes will be matched. If you are coming for a few days you can march with us and attend parties, if you are coming for longer you can help us build the float too.

We'll have a truck, dancing, costumes, awesome music, a big banner in front, lots of glitter and fun.
Come and help us show a national audience that polyamory is a viable option, that we exist and we are awesome.

Keeping up with social change is exciting, and important. There is a growing awareness of polyamory as a way to form relationships and families, and it is on the frontier of social change in acceptance of relationships. The more aware and accepting of diversity in relationships the more healthy our society is. It is not to be confused with polygamy, which is associated with religious laws that permit multiple wives, and does not have the same emphasis on an individual’s autonomy and agency.
There was a time, not too many decades ago, when homosexuality was classified as a mental illness, to be out was more dangerous than not, and discrimination was both expected and condoned. To acknowledge a same sex relationship was unthinkable. We have come a long way since then, and still have a long way to go.
