we (construction industry) had 5 days off. Our family makes Aus day the family weekend get together as sometimes easter and chrissy can be too hard. this year we were off to Bonnie Doon, we stayed at a caravan park as some of the family dont camp and need a cabin. Didnt have the best weekend away as the first 2 nights other people stayed up talking/partying until 3am, rang the manager at 11pm as they were just starting to really fire up (11pm no noise policy), and 2am. the other 3 nights the noisy ones had beem kicked out so it got better. the ladies toilet were constantly blocked up and in some cases overflowing so no need to say we wont be going back there again. apart from that we had a great time away swimming, drinking and eating.
(sorry to sound like a complainer)

Jimmy Barnes was doing a concert at Merimbula for Aussie day. So headed down there on Tuesday with the CT & booked in to a park.
Aussie day, visited the minister's sister & her hubbie for bbq lunch - no grog  >:(
Headed for the show where it was a NO BYO  :'(  Smuggled me mate Jimmy Beam in & had a blast  :cup:
Travellin' home the next day, minister pointed out we didn't need to be home till Sunday arvo at the latest, so suggested we book into our favourite park at Potato Point for another couple of days - my minister's a gem sometimes  :-*
Had a pearler of a time  :cheers:

We managed to get from Tuesday to Sunday off and headed up to Lake Bonney SA free camping on the Lake.

It was great to see the restrictor removed and the flow of the Murray filling the lake again which is now over full and great to see the town of Barmera buzing again.
