The What Did You Do On The Weekend Thread!!
- Thread starter cruza driver
- Start date
Well my wifes a teacher so now she can pratice before she goes back after her 7 years maternity leave i think its 7 its a long time anyway so our kids can get to school age before she goes back but missing that extra wage hurts then again no child care
Only 7 years? Let her know that doesnt seem long enough
Just spend a very chilly 4 day/3 night in Bundanoon at the invite of a mate and his caravan club (wants me to join) we camped at the Pony Club grounds good spot with plenty of room and basic amenities, good communal hall with gas heating that came in very handy for getting out of the wind.
Only drawback was all power was only 10 amp which no one knew about till they arrived so it but a strain on the system and regularly failed, fortunately I had but in my amp fibian which I don't normally carry so it allowed me to plug in easily.
Everyone was asked to limit the 240 use were possible, so fridges, water heaters etc. switched to gas
We even managed a surprised morning tea / Birthday cake for the daughters 20th, all in all a pretty good few days with good company.
But Geeeeeeezzzzzzzzzzz could have done with a diesel / gas heater, oh well may have it install for next winter

Went to Halls Gap with @Tone and stayed at Old Man Emu Stay. This place is a terrific spot and at $15 a night with firewood provided it doesn't get much better. I will do a more detailed report when I get a chance.
You on the Jayco promo shot payroll @17triton? Another ripper right there.
Prospect Caravan Club, might add we were the youngest there, it's the 3rd time we've been away with them, who ever said nomads go to bed when the sun goes down! Not this lot.
Yep sure is, though she doesn't look it, Hard to believe myself where does that time go?
Used to know some people from that club, name has slipped from the memory as we haven't seen them in 6 years. He used to work for Telstra and drove a hilux last time I saw them.
Went for a drive to Peake Hill on Sunday. A semi impressive abandoned open cut gold mine.

On the weekend we ducked out to our friends property perched on the side of Mt Beckworth for some more off grid camping. We are just loving the Starcraft.
A bit of stump eradication and a bit of entertainment for us.

After the last 3 weekends freecamping this weekend we spoilt ourselves with the weekend at the RACV Resort in Cobram. Appart from some very chilly mornings we had lovely weather and met some new members in @MSSSSI it was nice to meet you Stephanie and Micheal. The park is undergoing some major renovations with more powered sites as well as tent/campertrailer areas and new camp kitchen and toilet blocks. More cabins are being installed as well. They have moved the bmx track and put in an oval with cricket pitch and afl goals one end and soccer goal the other. Will be very nice when all completed and well worth a visit.
Is that for real, you did come a gutsa? What operation are you waiting on? I hope you are not too badly hurt and that Carmel is not ripping into you. 
When is the bike going up for sale?
