THE Mount Buffalo Caravan Park in Porepunkah hosted more than 140 Titanium Caravans for four days of adventure, camaraderie and community at the highly anticipated National Owners Rally last week. Kicking off with a Tag Along Tour from Noojee, the rally took participants on a scenic journey through Victoria, before settling in Bright for a series of events. The program included guided 4WD tours, golf days, local food experiences, live music, trivia, and AFL on the big screen at a big marquee. "The rally was designed to celebrate the Titanium community while showcasing the region’s natural beauty and attractions," a rally spokesperson said. "The event also provided a platform for Titanium Caravans' leadership team to engage with owners, discuss innovations and strengthen relationships with loyal customers." One of the rally's attendees, Jane Bartley from Melbourne, said this is the first year touring with Titanium Caravans and they'd loved being in the area. Veteran caravanners, Maureen and Richard Hay, have been adventuring Australia's roads for over 40 years and this was this sixth visit to the Alpine region. "We love it," Maureen said. “We used to ride on horseback over the mountains from Rutherglen to here; it used to take a week, so it’s much easier in a caravan. “We’ve had a Titanium Caravan for about four years." For the Brown family, from Melbourne - Nathan, Gina, Isaac and Zoe - the visit was the christening of their caravan, purchased a week ago. "We had a camper-trailer before this and we've also gone on six-month trips using a rooftop tent," Nathan said. “We’re planning to do a big trip this year to Western Australia: that’s why we took the plunge and bought this caravan. “There isn't a dump point for caravans in the area. “It doesn’t affect us today, but in the future it would add another star for Bright if there was one, from a tourism perspective."
