In late 2006, a small group of concerned caravanners got together and formed the Australian Caravan Club. This was done mainly out of sheer frustration that whilst the motor homing community had the CMCA looking after their interests on a national basis, the caravanning community had no such similar body.
Since its inception, the ACC has seen a steady growth, and in late 2008 has around seven hundred members, that’s caravans, not people, and has held two Annual Muster/AGM's.
ACC branches have now been formed in Queensland, NSW, Victoria and South Australia, and these branches cater for the social side of caravanning, as do the CMCA’s chapters. There are more branches in the pipeline, and it just takes a group of enthusiastic ACC members in one geographical location to get a branch up and running.
With some help, and a lot of hard work, I was instrumental in forming the ACC Wide Bay Burnett Nomads branch in December 2007, and was elected to the position of Branch President, at the inaugural meeting, held at Standown Park, between Gympie and Tin Can Bay. In late 2008 our branch membership was forty two, that’s caravans, not people.
We hold Musters, the ACC name for rallies, every two months at different locations in and around our own geographical area, but not everyone attends each muster.
