Every year, CMCA members from across Australia bring their motorhomes, caravans and campervans to one town for the CMCA National Rally. It's eight days of special interest sessions, information seminars, entertainment, trade exhibits, local tours, disc bowls, craft activities and dance lessons. The rally moves to a new host town each year, so there's always somewhere new to explore.
