Mez Posted January 6, 2017 Report Share Posted January 6, 2017 Rosebud falls on this weekend also - Sandy Point it is then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igeighty Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Waratah Bay, Sandy point and to a lesser extend, Shallow Inlet are some of Victoria's best buggy spots. At low tide you get roughly 50-100 meters of hard packed tidal sand. The distance from Waratah Bay to the point is approximately 15 kilometres. and the point wasn't there 10,000 years ago. I read it on wiki so it must be true. I hope anyone who has a buggy can come down for a few days and get some wind. It is a really long drive for some, but it is worth it at least one session through the long weekend. Sometimes the wind doesn't turn it on and that's a bummer. But when its on, its on. hope to see old and new faces there ? The lady with the pink shirt says its going to be good conditions..

Darren Tibbey Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Me and the fam are planning on coming down if we can find somewhere that wont charge us $70 a night for a unpowered site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the reason why we just get a house and bunk in with the others. By the time you factor in any extra fuel (towing the camper) to get there and back, it's not much more to stay in the house.

Crackers Posted February 1, 2017 Report Share Posted February 1, 2017 Hi Darren we pay less than $70 a night for a powered site for the main week over Christmas at the Waratah bay caravan park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand her concern but she really doesn't have anything to worry about. She will most likely find that she doesn't see a lot of her housemates especially if you do some sight seeing or go to the Foster market on the Sunday ect. It's not like she would be staying with a bunch of 20 year olds who have just been let off the leash and are there to party hard all weekend (which might be what she is imagining).

Maybe next trip once we know everyone. Got into the sandy point caravan park. It will do for this time.? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OBEwan Posted February 8, 2017 Report Share Posted February 8, 2017 @.Joel looks like I can finally make it to an even! I sent you an email re lodgings. If there are no rooms left. Let me know and I'll camp at one of the caravan parks. bakersdozen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Joel Posted February 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2017 Just a heads up as I received another email, there will be no camping available. If you want to camp book in at the Sandy Point/Waratah Bay/Shallow Inlet caravan parks XKHQ and XK2 are both now full There will be a number of new faces there, both on the beach and in the air bakersdozen, Mez and nigel 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mez Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 They had one site left the day we went up to Venus Bay - sadly not suitable for our trailer. We got in at Shallow Inlet though. Waratah fills up pretty quickly over the holidays and I always used to have to book a good 8 months in advance (if you want to pick your site) Non-holiday weekends are good, sometimes you can book up with a days advance but their costs are still silly even then. I do like the park though. Darren Tibbey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chook Posted March 6, 2017 Report Share Posted March 6, 2017 Gee I hope you do better than us at the moment, we are in the doldrums. Just getting a sail in on the weak arvo seabreeze just before dark. Labour Day here so not game enough to venture down onto our beaches as I would just get run-over by blowins cranking their 4by's.
