Cruise & Camp (victor Harbor Or Other Alternatives)

[kralster]

Yeah that is probably true when it comes to Victor, there are other caravan parks down that way we could go to. Could make it Normanville or Goolwa or even Rapid Bay. Will call the victor caravan parks though before rulling this out, but need a better idea of numbers first.

Thinking he may be referring to more than just crashes mate. Break downs & stuff would also be on the cards for that long a trip.

I'd also suggest if we were going to go as far as Stansbury the car's being used are running reliably, & that people should try & bring tools & spare parts just in case.

Somewhere like Victor it's not so hard too go & get something if you really need it.

LOL we are driving skylines so i can see reliability being an issue

Yes well I'm a southerner too which explains why I keep seeing you . Figured it would be a bit further for us, probably about 2 & a half hours for us roughly.

I think one of the main points of this though it that it should be an enjoybale drive to get to the destination & then coming back too rather than just a boring highway trip. Personally I've never been over to the Yorke peninsula so I wouldn't know what the roads are like.

Another suggestion might be Wallaroo nice beaches, fishing, close to Moonta Bay and Kadina. Also a hour away from clare if your into wine. Trip up there is easy about a hour and half bit dry at the mo so mostly brown in colour. Some farmers weird structures on the way up to lol at.

Deep creek conservation park...

How many night stay are people looking at?

One, two?

[Madaz]

i think a two night stay would be good sumtime caravan parks have dormatory type cabins your can hire

our church group went to wilminton the other year and we got like a 12 berth cabin not modin but cheap and fun we had like 12meter bon fires each night

[pokie]

i love Yorke Peninsula, it's heaps nice up there

but it's such a long drive.

[Bl4cK32]

bah! *packs car for lone quiet fishing weekend...*

[Cubes]

Well thats sort of what I was thinking Darren.

If we were to go near deep creek a few of us could shoot off to rapid bay etc?

It's amazing what different people call a long drive.

My wife's family live 6 hours away near Port Lincoln, and we'll drive there and back in a weekend.

I'm not a huge fan of 6 hours after a full day of work though.

Her father has driven to Adelaide and back in the same day a couple times!

a few on here have mentioned fishing.

i just got back from salt creek where i caught this monster.

124cm and 18 kilos.

[Cubes]

Bloody Nora..

Awesome catch Darren.

[chops]

Very nice.

I just sent the pic to a mate (named Darren too cooincidentally) who will be very envious.

aww...yer supposed to kiss it and let it go....

*sif Yer eating well for a few days

[dangerman4]

it swallowed a 42cm mullet that i was using for bait, whole.

All three 6/0 hooks were down its throat, so it wasnt getting away in a hurry.

[Race__24]

He he, I'm into a bit of fishing too, won't post pics cos i don't want to hijack the thread. I'm up for anywhere as i said before, my car is reliable (touches wood)

I have a annual trip down yorks, good fun, great people, nice drive, good fishing and too much beer But that's real camping, not this caravan park stuff

I'm up for 1 or 2 nights, but if it's for 2 nights i'll need a bit more notice due to work. I'm guessing it would be the same for others tho.

If people are worried about reliability there'd be nothing stopping people from driving non Skylines. While the drive is part of the adventure, I think it's more the social side of things that comes first on this one Just my thoughts, feel free to disagree.

If we do go a bit of a ways i might be a good idea to organise someone with a trailer to ferry some gear across, big esky, bbq etc. we could chip in a couple of bucks each to cover the extra fuel.

Yeah I don't think 2 to 3 hours would be so bad myself. I'm used to spending well over an hour traveling each day.
