    It is a great spot to camp.
    Part of our major issue was that because the sand was so damn coarse and soft none of our tents were pegged down firmly, no design of peg could have got a good purchase in that.
    MB took his boat out a couple of times but he had no luck. The water was the perfect refreshing temperate without being too cold.

    Hi folks we are all fine just in town now getting supplies.

    Shame about that bloody tornado for you folks that had to go home, never seen anything like that in my life.

    The skip bins in town are full of folded metal gazebo and tent frames!

    Sooo bloody hot!

    Great to hear nobody was injured from the sounds of how bad things got.
    I've just spoken to a work mate who were in Tocumwul , and they copped it good and proper, theyre roof top got absolutely shredded.

    yeah the sand bar went out a good 20m and was waste deep. spent Friday sitting on the bottom with the water around my neck. was awesome. Perfect temperature for that. The current was pretty nuts out that far though but a great spot for the kids.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    It all stopped as soon as it started and once we had packed all our gear up we drove into town to get a motel room but nothing available so slept in the car. There was a branch that fell on a car up the road, a branch fell on top of Darren's toilet tent, roofys toilet tent ended up 400m from where it was tied down.
    Truly an awful experience, but will make a great story.

    Just got home now. Great relaxing weekend bloody shame about the crazy tornado tho. Thought it was you I passed on the highway @Winnie Saturday morning ,spewn i missed you guys and everyone else but lucky I missed it by the sounds of it. Went for a drive Sunday and ended picking up a Ute load of blow up things, tent and other rubbish. Markie did a couple of runs in the tinnie doing similar and saw a couple this morning in a f350 doing the same. Also passed PV with a big rubbish trailer heading in to start the clean up too.
    Great spot was sooo nice I the water was so warm. . .
