With over 300 Hilltopians in attendance , this was the biggest National Gathering yet !
That sentiment was widely applauded by the crowd – challenges posed by severe flooding in 2022 meant the Hilltopians were a little more spread out this year , but the group ’ s good cheer and understanding were undiminished .
Hilltop Caravans ’ owners , Dham and Dula , gave the official welcome . During his speech , Dham touched on the camaraderie their business works so hard to foster within the community of Hilltopians .
Hilltop Caravans co-owner , Dham , was there to catch-up with customers old and new .
“ I know very well that this is not just a gathering ,” he said , the crowd of Hilltopians sitting in camp chairs , sipping wine and beer , enjoying hearing from two people they clearly deeply respect . “ This is to share your wonderful experiences of caravanning , your memories and the exciting moments in your life . But not only that : sharing the good and the bad stuff as a big family . Today , we see a lot of new faces , and we would like to welcome each and everybody , those who are new to our family : welcome to the family !”
It was the sixth Hilltop National Gathering and they are growing more popular each year . When Hilltop began putting on these gatherings , ably assisted by Ruth , her husband Brendan , and a number of other dedicated Hilltopians , they had just 21 vans in attendance . A handful of years later , that number had grown to over 130 .
