I've never been to this camp spot, is there a contingency plan in case the main spot is taken or do we just camp off to the side and suck it up?

---

The camp will take 100 cars mate. It's huge and flat as a tack. It's far enough the other side not to get much traffic so I doubt you will have any problems. We camped there on a long weekend last time and had a group of hunters across the way and no other campers the entire time.

There is a drop toilet and the river is close.

From memory it's like the last camp sites along the road

Is that the one before the golf club?

It's going to be a bit hectic on the lead up to this.
I finish work at 7am on Friday morning. On the way home I'll do my food/drink shopping and get some sleep. Load up in the afternoon and be ready to leave as I'm out Friday night for dinner for the old man's birthday. Hopefully get home about midnight top up on sleep and be on the road by 4.

Looking forward to this trip.....

That maccas is totally the wrong way for us mate. We will be heading on Eastlink mate. Might be best if we meet at the servo where Lucas suggested. We'll hop on ch17 ay!

Just wait until the trip report!

Don't forget mums and dads, Halloween dress up and trick or treat night.

Just found out that Mark has bought 5kg of chicken for some crazy skewer charcoal roast cook up for us too...lol

Bloody ipad isn't working at the moment... Can't find gps coordinate for the camp site.

Finished plumbing up the air compressor with the outlet on the face of the drawers, works a treat

I agree mate but it's just some fun for the kids, unless you don't have a tv the kids all know about it and it's a fun thing to do for them.

Don't give a ship about the meaning.

Kinda like Christmas, I'm sure Santa squeezes his fat ass down all our chimneys on the 25th.

No it's actually an Irish Celtic festival.

Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced “sah-win”).
The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter. The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops.

The festival would frequently involve bonfires. It is believed that the fires attracted insects to the area which attracted bats to the area. These are additional attributes of the history of Halloween.

Masks and costumes were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them.

Trick-or-treating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as confectionery with the question, “Trick or treat?” The “trick” part of “trick or treat” is a threat to play a trick on the homeowner or his property if no treat is given. Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should purchase treats in preparation for trick-or-treaters.

Nah good on you though mate, my dads the same.

I remember rocking up to towns when touring and mum would get dad to take the kids to maccas and the old man would walk 2km down the road until he found a fish and chip shop...lol

Dad was anti anything not Australian!

Yes I know. My sister inlaw is Irish, grew up and lives in Dublin and even she calls it Americanized rubbish.
Anyhow.
What do you call a woman who marries your step brother? A step sister inlaw? Lol.

Soooooooooooo, the boss has changed her mind and we are coming up Saturday morning. Lucas and Jaysee. We plan on leaving home around 4am, if we are passing through the servo earlier we'll keep going. You guys will catch up anyway as we are towing the camper. If we are coming through at 5:30 ish I will call out for ya's. I keep on CH17 too...

Upside for me is Zach is Type1 Diabetic and the whole Halloween Lolly thing would have been a real bummer in my camp guys. Have a great trip.

Ah yes so it's midnight & ive just put my Patrol back together - after asking Mudski how to check if my snorkel ( genuine Nissan ) is sealed properly ( & it wasn't ) I've had the wheel , inner guard , electric aerial etc off to get to the bolts inside to pull it off & (hopefully ) seal it properly , getting excited about this trip 👍🏼
