Used to go to Eildon Weir as a kid, on the Delatite Arm, out through Mansfield, Goughs Bay. Mum & Dad used to know someone who would give them a key to let them into the pine plantation owned by the Forestry Commission. It's a bit different the last time I was there, but thats where I would go, somewhere there are no facilities !

Off to Inverloch big4 till Wednesday after cup day, then onto Bright for the hot rod run. Should be a great week away from work and of course family time.
Cheers

We head up to Bright for the long weekend.
Head up on the Friday and leave on the Wednesday but unfortunately this year my wife now has to work on the Wednesday so we'll be heading home with everyone else on the Tuesday.

There's usually about 6-8 families we go away with for a good catch up.

We are booked at Barwon Heads. Planning to leave on the Wed'. We live on the other side of the bay so we will catch the ferry, to save the city drive and a bit of fun for the kids.

We have been to the Grampians before, for the Cup weekend. We are new to the Expanda experience, so we have not been there yet with the new van. We traded out Goldstream RV Star 1 full off road camper for the Expander, and loving it. So not really sure where to go at this point, but would love to camp with other Expanda's.

Welcome Peter. I think there will be a couple of us there at Barwon Heads. It can be hard to get a spot as it is very seasonal where the same families come back each year. We have decided this year to leave Wed' morning this year as we felt we missed the fun of the cup because we were packing to leave. Kids will still make school, just miss a couple hours.

Off to Merimbula NSW for 5 nights via Lakes Entrance on the way for a night and on the way home for a night. We're staying at Big4 Whiters Holiday Village in Lakes on the way to Big4 Tween Waters Resort in Merimbula and the Eastern Beach Holiday Park in Lakes in the way home. Getting out of Victoria for Cup weekend for the first time in a long time, can't wait!
