Heya folks

Around this time of year I head to Moonta bay caravan park for a nice drive, some fishing, bbq and general relaxation...

Was wondering if any of u guys would like to join me? I haven't got a specific date or time in mind, nothing concrete, but I reckon if we have a few folks go down for the weekend we can have a bit of fun. Boozing, Poker, fun with the ocean and the ubiquitous bbq roasting of meats....

I'd aim for a long weekend... but would probably call it on the sunday, so we can drive home before the blitz, as well as getting monday to recover at home...

Anything goes really

So what say ye?

-D

*EDIT

Can get yourselves Tents with or without power and cabins, or you can take your own campervan/trailer tent/caravan.... the rates are pretty good, seen here at http://www.adelaidecaravanpark.com.au/mta-tariffs.asp

Its not for everyone I'll have to admit, but the 2 hr drive there and back is quite cruisy, and given the right time, u can bag a load of crabs or fish or squid... or just go swimming :)

Yep yep, and then there is that nice nice carpark near the jetty, with that cafe that makes the most pimp pizzas in the region...

I usually take an esky full of beverages, an esky full of foods/bbq meat and one to put the fishing catch into :)

Car fridges come in very handy at that place.. I just wish they had a bonfire. Theres nothing better than having a communal bonfire with marshmallows, sausages, baked taters and all the rest that goes with it *wink*

hey i live in kadina, 7 min drive from moonta, i shld see yas down there n introduce myself if yas end up goin, let ya know some of the locals, chicks included.

thanks :rofl: that'd be cool... im hoping to do it in 2-3 weekends time depending on my work schedule, but i'll definately let u know when i down... pm me yr details mate :/

-D

well id be interested thats if its not a boys only thing being organised cause there is a few chicks on here that would want to come

Yeah everyones welcome. Pretty much just rock up and do your own thing :D As long as people take care of their own accomodation/groups then it should be an easy thing to do. I got a mate coming with me in the GTR and we'll get a cabin to share, tho the tent spots are quite nice too (on the beachfront) so really all depends on how much you want to rough it... and if we wanna take some photos, the carpark near the jetty is a good place for us to show our wares

-D

Edit ; And while I say 'do yer own thing' I'd definately have a couple communal things planned like a sunday bbq (good facilities there) and possibly pizza at the bayside cafe, in addition to hanging out on the jetty and having a few drinks while happily depleting the blue crab/squid/whiting population

sounds like fun!

so long as its not the april anzac day long weekend id be up for it. also got a surfing trip on some time soon down the midcoast so hopefully it wont collide with that either.

Yeah I'm not thinking that far ahead, I had Adelaide Cup weekend in mind, or Easter weekend.... try to hold it while the seasons are still nice...

Adelaide Cup is a fortnight from now, so its short notice but its my preferred time to do this. Would u guys need more notice? I personally wont stay the sunday night, but friday and sat.... I use monday to recover hehe (and theres also a meet on cup day iirc about the new track iirc)

-D

Adelaide cup weekend is SAU dyno day weekend 8th of march with the Adelaide motor Complex march on monday 10th

Ok I'll scratch that then, what about the easter weekend? 3 public holidays during that time, so provided nobody has any religious obligations, should be able to do? (its in 4 weeks time)

-D

EDIT Was also planning a BBQ on the Sunday arvo, so would be great to have people who only wanted to make it a day trip to come along aswell...

EDIT2: If you're coming up during the night time, the only other thing worth mentioning is there arent any after hours places to get food, so you'll have to bring some along with you until you either catch some fish or go shopping at the local supermarket ;P Last time I went up there, we hit the jetty, got rather drunk and couldnt find any place to get food after 10pm... so we were in a poor state the next morning when we had bacon and eggs at the local deli ...

Edited by Dohmar

the only thing open after 10 is in kadina and thats bp, i also think on a saturday nite subway in kadina's open until 11, but then again, its still a 10 min drive to kadina. When your round the place, and wana say go for a drive to kadina, dont use the kadina-moonta road as it has roadworks, go to kadina via wallaroo.

    • Yeah kids certainly add a whole another dimension to your life.  Life ceases to be about you and more about them for a while!  And I wouldn't have it any other way.  I love watching them play sport and make new friends along the way. Wow, sounds like your mate is a good guy to know!!!  He's got some serious toys in the toy box!  Yes it would be lovely to be able to do stuff to your car without getting all tied up in boring shit like how to pay for it!!  I would describe my spending style as "aggressively spontaneous and logical but regrettable purchasing"....  That will hopefully make no sense at all which would be appropriate given that is how I buy stuff.  I'll decide at the drop of a hat that I'm buying something expensive, research the living shit out of it for 2 days straight then go out and buy it.  Then I'll have instant buyers remorse for 2 days which generally passes by the time it turns up on the front step!  If I'm feeling ballsy sometimes I'll tell my wife.  Other times it just makes its way silently passed the house and out the back to the shed, never to be spoken of again...
    • My extinguisher mounted like this unscrewed a little (Maybe from the chair sliding forward) and dumped a bit of white on my mats. I'll need to get a more narrow one for future.
    • I totally couldn't do the whole kids taking up my life thing! 😮 I find it bad enough doing 45 hours in 4 days, and then fitting normal adulting life into the other 3 with no kids! As for my mates race cars, they're AMG C63 setup for production racing. The original is what has just been stripped and a brand new shell built. The original is then going away to have some panels straightened, then it will be put back together again. Then there's a third that will shortly head off to have a roll cage put in, then build it up too. And potentially a fourth to be built too... Oh, and he has two Renault Clio D class production cars, ha ha. And when he's not racing them in the Australians and QLD production championships, he's been racing one of Chaz Mostert's Lamborghini's in GT4. They just won GT4 at the 12 hour in the Lambo. We're pushing to finish the new AMG as it has its first round (and potentially its first shakedown/outing) in under w weeks for Round one of QPC, and that round is really the shakedown to make sure it's all good for the Bathurst 6 hour, which I'll be at too. Ha ha ha Working on my project is different to his, I slowly tinker and work ways to make things happen on a shoe string budget. Hes in a good position that he has a massive workshop full of parts and tools, ha ha. He also looks after me. When his air compressor died, he just needed it working, so bought himself a new one and gave the old to me. Sand blaster unit too, and a 20t pressing. And pretty much all the shelving in my shed too as he upgraded all of his (the stuff he gave me is the expensive black Bunnings heavy duty stuff)!   I enjoy working on his stuff. No decision paralysis, and anything that's needed parts wise is just there. Plus, then I get to be hands on at the track in real racing, not just club day stuff.
    • I know which one I'd prefer to have in my garage, and which one I'd actually drive as intended
    • Yeah mate, no probs. Just swap the email addresses?
