Hi everyone, Owen here and after spending the last couple of years trying Blokarts, aero shutes, hang gliding, parachuting, etc etc etc, I now seem to have come full circle and am back to blokarts ... I have a holiday house down at Sandy point Vic and besides fishing, there really aint that much to do down there when the wind gets up. so I, (wife doesnt know yet.) have decided to purchase acouple of blokarts later on this year.. my concept is to purchase something that is user friendly, avoid dying from a mistake, and can be enjoyed by family and friends from the get go..... Can someone tell me if the beach from Sandy point up thru Warratah Bay is blokart freindly or am I to expect the odd sniper shot at me.? The reason I ask is that i heard in the past the some beaches in Vic are NO GO zones for blokarts.? can someone enlighten me if this is fact or fiction and also whether there are clubs of sort down that way I could mosy on into........
Cheers all....Might see ya's out there one day, I'll be the one arse up in the water trying something new..............again........... I live in Geelong, so any blokart clubs, beaches etc etc that anyone knows would be appreciated.........
Recommend you get in touch with the guys from the Melbourne Blokart Club via their website www.melbourneblokartclub.org.au
West of Ned Neales to rocks at Waratah and east of the Manuka Marker you have free reign, but common curtisy to all other beach users is much appreciated as we like to go there often.
Thankyou for all the info port,cisco, natosa, Daisygirl & Hills....
cheers all.......
I have plenty to follow up on now....
Way out west, Esperance,W.A. theres a great beach running east/west,22 kms long. Sailed it last weekend with a SE gale warning. Wife drove around to the far end on the road,beach conditions similar to 90 mile beach in NZ.
You start at Cape Le Grand National Park and head east towards Bandy creek boat harbour.A nice change from endless flat monotonous boring salt lakes!
Hi Brian
Another good beach is Dunns rock's east of esperence.(if there is no seaweed)
Try and get to safety bay you will not get bored there (scared the hell out of me the first time I sailed there love it now)
Cheers
Vic
well the last time I was on 90 mile beach was about 1976 or 7, way back before
landyachts were invented,I was in a bus going to Cape Reinga. I remember it being long, flat,and wide enough to turn a bus on!
Kiwi 307, would you do the same for me. I would love a copy, dont really want
to read/buy a rare book, just a photo copy would do, willing to pay your costs
and postage , please let me know, sounds really interesting. PM or forum, easy
There are still afew copies kicking around home, not a rare book, but better in the hands of interested people that the tip!
Drop me an address and we will get them to those who are interested. Think of a charity to give $5 to, I will be happy.
Wow, what a demand, more than when it was first published last century!
Sorry to anyone else, all copies now gone, although perhaps we could scan the 63 pages!
