Get on it guys, heard the town is almost booked up for the weekend so looks to be another cracker. If looking for accom ring the tourist info centre 08 876 82 365- or better yet Bushland Holiday Park 0488 727 269- and tell them your coming for the comp- its going to be massive!

Can't wait!!! We have a fair few crew making the 9 hour drive across from Whyalla. So worth it for a sick weekend with awesome crew. Its awesome to hear some crew from Vic are making the trip across, the more the merrier!!! See everyone in a few weeks.

Any results or pics from the weekend? Also, what sort of wind/wave did you get, because where I was staying with my family (middleton), I only got one decent day with wind, but plenty of waves.
