Title: Labour Day - March 2014 Vic/Tas&WA
Post by: scarps on February 24, 2014, 02:31:31 PM
So for many of us here in the deep dark south, we have a long weekend coming up in early March.  What are your plans?

I'm just waiting on swmbo's cousin to decide, but think we may end up down Phillip Island, Wilsons Prom or West Gippsland way.

 Heading to the Gippsland Lakes for the Marlay Point overnight yacht race with the old man.
 We've been doing it for 15 years now, it's a great race with over 100 boats taking part.
Just need a nice sou-westerley to kick in right on start time. ;D
SWMBO and the girls love it cos they get to stay in a unit right on the canal in Paynesville ;D

I'm riding in the Karri Cup in Northcliffe. Its a MTB race. I'm not fit enough to do the 100km, so I'm only doing the 50km event. That'll probably kill me too!! Camping on the rec ground for the weekend.

Some dickhead (best mate) decided it was a good idea to get married on the long weekend (Farkwit) and I'm the best man (even bigger Farkwit) so looks like I'm not going anywhere. A least the piss is for free ;D

you obviously have not been to a mainlanders surprise 20th wedding anniversary before or you wouldn't be asking but there is always either a Donkey, Llama or a Mongolian snapping turtle involved they stopped the columbian yak turned out they were used to smuggle drugs in the country  glad you got the Llama Marcus as the Mongolian snapping turtle may get lost in the pond seeing we are now invited to Dannys home :)

I'm just waiting on swmbo's cousin to decide, but think we may end up down Phillip Island, Wilsons Prom or West Gippsland way.
so we decided the coast was going to be all too busy and didn't want the hassle of the long weekend traffic. Going to head out tomorrow and see if we can find a spot somewhere nearby. Location tbc
