MotoGP Phillip Island - wot no accomodation?
Anyone else going to the MotoGP in October having problems getting accomodation? I've tried everywhere within 50km of the track and it's all booked. Started looking in June so maybe I left it too late as it seems most places are booked 12 months in advance :-(
We can ride down on the day but I have a mate coming from the UK so it would have been good to make a weekend of it.

Did you see the pengiun parade after the gp last year? No idea what time the pengiuns put on their marching boots ;-)

I know you can't camp at Barbagallo for the V8's but is it possible to camp at the circuit. Now that would be the best way to soak it up and watch qualifying too.

Bloody link doesnt work...but it did come up with a coupole of possibilities worth a try. Best thing to do is contact the tourist information...they will have an up to date list of any vacancies in the area

Sound about right. Maybe we'll be able to get a cancellation nearer the time, else we'll just travel down on the Sunday which will take 2 hours from Sunbury. Most of the accomodation seems a rip-off anyway, some places are asking $1000 a night!

That sounds about right. We paid $140 for a weekend at Philip Island. Same room (nothing special at all) was being charged at $1000 at GP time.

Re: MotoGP Phillip Island - wot no accomodation?
I'd be very surprised if you find anywhere within an hour's drive (on a good day).
We came for this (from England) last year. Admittedly we didn't book up early but we ended up in a hotel in Dandenong, not a particularly nice one at that.
This year we are coming back (and validating at the same time), fortunately we are staying with a mate whose mate's parents have a house on the Island.
Good luck. It should be brilliant with Stoner winning the championship

Re: MotoGP Phillip Island - wot no accomodation?
Just thought I'd say that the Ducati team stay at Glen Isla every year - http://www.glenisla.com/. We stayed there the weekend after MotoGP (hubby was doing California Superbike School at the circuit, which was excellent if a bit wet and windy!) and it was lovely.
