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.
Dates: Sunday 17 to Sunday 24 October 2027
Venue: Thoroughbred Park, 1 Randwick Rd, Lyneham ACT 2602
Register online or call head office on 02 4978 8788. Early registration closes 13 September 2027. If you register early, you won't be charged straight away, we securely save your card details and take payment on 1 September 2027.

Market Day is held during the rally and is open to the local community. CMCA members attending the rally can apply for a stall at no cost. Market Day Stall Applications will soon be available.
