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*

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)

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 ...

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.

      You're making my point for me. 95 is not "premium". It is a "slightly higher octane" version of the basic 91 product. The premium product that they want people to buy (for all the venal corporate reasons of making more profit, and all the possibly specious reasons of it being a "better" fuel with nicer additive packages) is the 98 octane stuff. 95 is the classic middle child. No-one wants it. No-one cares about it. It is just there, occupying a space in the product hierarchy.

      98 and 95 have to meet the same national fuel standards beside the actual RON.  91 has lower standards (which are quite poor really), so 95 is certainly not 91 with some octane booster. It would be an easier argument to claim 98 is just 95 with some octane boosters. Also RON doesn't specify 'quality' in any sense, only the octane number.  Anything different retailers decide or not decide to add to their 95 or 98 is arbitrary and not defined by the RON figure.

      95 is just a scam outright. 98 is the real "premium" with all the best detergents and other additive packages, and at least historically, used to be more dense also. 95 is just 91 bargain basement shit with a little extra octane rating. Of course, there's 91 and there's 91 also. I always (back in the 90s early 2000s) refused to put fuel in from supermarket related fuel chains on the basis that it was nasty half arsed shit imported from Indonesia. Nowadays, I suspect that there is little difference between the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the "bargain" chains and the nasty half-arsed shit brought in by the big brands, given that most of it is coming from the same SEAsian refineries. Anyway - if there's still anything to that logic, then it would apply to 95 also. 98 is only made in decent refineries and, as I said, is usually the "premium" fuel, both in terms of octane rating and "use this because it's good for your engine because it's got the unicorn jizz in it!".

      Yeah since those first 2 replies I actually went and put some 98 in it and tbf it's already doing much better than the 95 (which is weird and makes my inner tinfoil hat wearer think the 95 was a crap batch), getting 8ish around town. Again, wonder if it takes a while to stabilize if the fuel is changed a couple of times. I swear cars used to just either run "well" or "s**t* in my 20s, none of this fuel optimisation business haha
