Me too as there might be a lot of interstaters to transport north or south and not enough South Australians to carry them all. The Barossa is only about an hour's drive from Adelaide.  Pick a month - OK July, how does that sound?

Thanks Katie, must take these things into consideration.

I'm having trouble catching up :D
We should avoid the school holidays for sure. Maybe August then?

June would work better for me as my youngest will be doing year 12 next year & I don't want to leave things until later in the year.

Depending upon how much we want to spend, I have loads of contacts in foodie type places & hotels.  I'm not sure how much you all paid for the WA retreat, but a hotel would certainly put us all in the one place - with a bar!!  :D

I suspect a caravan park might be a little spartan in the middle of winter and would also leave us with transport issues, whereas we could be in the middle of town in a hotel.

Just going on Gert's suggestion I'm quite sure I could ask a nice hotel  to put on a special rate and throw in a dinner showing off some of our special local food products. 
I could also quite possibly get some tour ideas happening, using my contacts.

If it is in town at a hotel  then each one of us is responsible for booking and paying. Load off.
