ACCOMMODATION FRIDAY 8th March: NANANGO
If you are planning to stay in Nanango on the Friday night before the tour I highly recommend the Fitzroy Motel (55 Fitzroy Street) which will be our start point on Saturday. Please book your accommodation directly with the motel on 07 4163 1100. Please let them know you are booking with the BBTA and quote Peter's name. We will probably dine at either the the Fitzroy Hotel, right next door to the motel, or the RSL club.
