Camp EPIC (AKA Camp Cooker, EPIC) was established in early February 2022. Outside of its current occupation, Exhibition Park in Canberra’s camping facilities are set on 70 hectares of unique country surroundings only 8 minutes north of the city centre and offer:
- Full amenities including showers, toilets and laundry - Powered and un-powered sites with access to water - Quiet location - Pet friendly - Public transport services - Farmers market every Saturday morning - Large drive through grass sites for caravans and motor-homes - Grey water and black water dump points - Exhibition Park in Canberra is home to many local and national events all year round including exhibitions, fairs and festivals.
Early Occupation
EPIC was picked as the Cooker Chosen Land due to it's close proximity to Parliament House, Canberra's SBS Studio and the Lifeline Book Fair. In the early days of occupation, plans for the cookers to move into EPIC were almost foiled by a traffic controller with suspected links to the Illuminati and NWO blocking off the turning lane. It was later discovered that this was part of scheduled roadworks (ordered by the Illuminati NWO Agenda 21).
The EPIC greeting party is comprised of six bogans, a girl on roller skates and a pig. All of whom clap and cheer as cars enter the settlement.
System of Government
At time of writing, the current leader/s of EPIC are unclear, as they change on a daily basis. Whoever holds the microphone during their nightly meeting is able to command the residents, or read bad poetry. The nightly meeting has been affectionately referred to as 'Open Mic Night'.
Crime
EPIC is rife with crime with reports of syringes being found in public toilets, stolen trailers and exposed rib cages being frequent.
