FORBES MUSTER SITE RULES 2024

To enjoy this muster in a safe and relaxed environment, the Bushtracker Owners Group (BOG) Inc. Committee seeks your cooperation in complying with the following:-

1. The maximum travel speed for vehicles moving about the site is 5 km/h. While this is a safety requirement, it also extends consideration to fellow Boggers by reducing dust and noise levels.
2. Wherever possible, walk on the side of designated roadways and on walkways as provided.
3. Keep your caravan, vehicle (when parked) and all camping accessories (including generator) within the confines of the site allocated for your stay.

This rule will be strictly supervised by the BOG Committee but if the weather is particularly inclement, hours of operation for generators will be extended. Please be considerate of other members and limit your generator use to that which is absolutely necessary.
5. Minimise the extent to which all hoses, power leads, etc present a trip or fall hazard by reducing their exposure to passing foot traffic and/or by clearly marking their position.
