So, what ya doin Straya Day 2014 weekend - camping?
« on: January 18, 2014, 05:18:52 AM »
Me, my sons and their cuz's all head to far east Vic for a week long camping and fishing. I'll post up a trip report when I get back, but we've booked 5 camp sites in one of the NP reserves.
This is the 10th year we've done this trip and 3 of us have ditched the tents this year and taking CT's instead. There's very limited phone service so all is good.

Annual family fishing comp at Manns Beach. Been going over 10 years, now named in honour of FIL who sadly passed away 8 years ago and started it. First prize is generally around $400!
Wont be true camping for us though as the CT will be set up in the back yard of the house.
Hopefully weather will allow some fishing this time instead of the crappy weather dealt up around New Years and the week following.

a few Myswaggers down in South Gippy  :cheers:

Drink imported beer,

Buy meat from Woolies, imported from China,

Head don to the local park, and watch all the "imported terrorist", play soccer when their wives are dressed as black ninjas, then ask you to move (we were there first) because their playing field isn't big enough,

Cable tie the Australian flag, brought from the local $2 shop, made in China, to the antenna,

Get hassled by the local traffic branch because they have the long weekend quota to fill, to make the commissioner look good,

Get charged exorbitant entry fees to use the local national park,

Sit in traffic, because all the imports haven't learnt to drive in Australia yet,

Yea,........., fk that.

We are staying home and have a BBQ (home made), cooking Meringandan Pub steaks drinking XXXX.

We have a property that backs on to the dam out there.... 
I've always said we should open our place up to camping etc.
Being 12 acres, i reckon there could be an earn in it too.  :cheers:
