There's a primary school in Beach Haven that I might be able to get access to.

Yay, space galore. One amp per room...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

That would be more bearable--depending on the amp

Request an acoustic room as well please.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Keen as a bean. I can bring some tasty guitars and one very tameable and rad sounding amp.

Onepoto Domain Community Hall looks like another good option. Central location (a few hundred meters from the Harbour Bridge), heaps of parking, cheap and no immediate neighbours. No separate rooms for acoustic guitars +/- whatever a 'black mamba' is, but oh well.

Still looking into the school hall option. It might be too close to neighbours (and have no bathroom facilities).

Well, if you're happy to host 15-odd blokes with 30+ guitars and a thousand watts of tube amplification, be my guest.

That's brilliant. I'll sell it as a family activity, then disappear for three hours with a bunch of strange blokes, sinking beers and going deaf.
