Nº 1 son went caming at Yadboro Flats boxing day to NY day with his mate and his family - including 3 littlies, her mother and new bloke. So we showed up last friday to spend the w/end.
Late friday, 4 car loads of young blokes and girls showed up. Dof dof pumping, lots of loud talking/yelling/yahooing and drinking immediately started. A few hours later, they decided to run the car playing the dof dof, obviously to charge the battery, but that was good enough to just sitting there redlining, so they figured it'd probably charge quicker by driving fast up and down the road, of course another bloke obviously figured he'd help his mates battery charge even quicker if he raced up and down with them
Then the girls (found out later they were all 'round 15/16 yr olds) piled into a car, and they figured it'd be fun to drive around the camp sites with high-beam on, and shining torches into the assorted tents and trailers, not racing, but not at a safe speed either.
Hunted by one large group, they made their way over to us. Promptly told by new bloke to get because we had small kids with us, and they were being dangerous.
Couple of hours later, sitting 'round the fire having a couple of quiet one's and talking while the littlies were tucked up in bed, one of the other cars was back near us doing the same thing. They stopped near us and were turning their lights off and on. New bloke started walking over to tell 'em to pi55 off, so they drove forward a couple of meters and stopped, new bloke started walking towards them again, and off they'd go again.
By this time, they were next to my camper, so I walked over and stood next to it. Young bloke gets out of his car and comes over to me and starts yelling saying why did we hassle their girls earlier? I try to get through to him that'd we'd just told them to leave and stop shining lights at everyone. This bloke was either deaf, or was just spoiling for a fight
Meanwhile, young girl has also gotten out of the car and is ranting and raving, egging her 'hero' on. Others from our group have now walked over to keep an eye on things.
I've turned just in time to see girl left hook my son in the face, he responded by telling her to pi55 off, and she's lucky she wasn't a bloke because he doesn't hit girls, her response was to punch him again. During that 30sec or whatever, my wife was telling this hero to just go back to their camp and stay there, so hero got right in my wife's face. Just as I was turning back to them, I seen my wife just reach out and grab him 'round the throat yelling at him to back off, I seen him arm come up, so I throw myself between them and shoved him back, he came back swinging, so I smashed him. One of his mates grabbed him and tried to pull him away, but he broke lose and grabbed me lifting me in the air. Things get a bit blurry here, but I managed to twist him to the ground and get on top and just started pounding till my son's mate dragged me off, hero's mate dragged him back to the car.
While others were holding him there, hero's mate tried to apologise and said hero had been causing trouble all day. We told him to just get him back to their camp site and stay there, which he eventually did. Lots of yelling, and thumping and banging coming from their camp after that, and about an hour later, all 4 cars left - found out next day that another group camped next to them had walked over and told them to pack up and leave, or they'd pack 'em up
Also found out the next day, that just about all the other camper's/group's had had trouble with them
Saturday was a top day, with lots more campers arriving, and everyone spending the day down in the water, even an unusual amount of dogs there this time, and not one dog fight. Everyone just got on having fun drinking, swimming, canoeing and talking
Come sunday morning,
crusier pulls up, and asks if it was me involved in the fight? Seems the girl who'd hit my son had gone home saturday night and told mum they'd been looking for the toilet and got attacked, and how a bloke had punched her in the face
Mum got her and hero to go to
and have me charged with assault
Cops asked us our version and left, satisfied these clowns had bought it upon themselves
Apparently hero's head wasn't in the best of shapes...score one for justice
