No worries :|

yeh got the tuesday off. can't get friday off so we will be traveling to meningie to sleep the night at a familys place then starting out at 6am for pt fairy what will you guys be doing ?

Looks like we'll be travelling alone then and not together, as I was going to leave Saturday morning to hit Pt. Fairy around 12pm or so if the g/f can't get Friday off.

ahh sorry was under the impression you guys were leaving thursday we can change to suit sat what do you have in mind

Would've been Friday morning if she can get the time off, but will probably do the caving on the way back :y:

Ok car is ready and have half packed car with tools and spare parts. Currently making a list of what still is left to sort.

 

So if wanting to travel in a group what are the details? Day leaving? time leaving? location leaving? as we have a back up plan if nothing is made up before friday.

 

Question will we be bypassing portland from the town of heywood to tyredarra back onto the princess hwy ?

 

Cheers guys

We'll probably be leaving early Saturday morning, around 3am, if thats cool with you?

 

Usual meet spot is the Mobil Service Station on the corner of Glen Osmond and Portrush Roads, at say 2.30am, for the 3am departure.

 

Its a 7 and a bit hour trip on the way through, which goes through Naracoorte, onto Mt Gambier, then through Heywood and on the way to Pt. Fairy.

ok discussed it with the missus (vess) and she will agree to a 3am start haha but i didnt say happy, she isnt a morning person.

 

hows the car going fuel and brakes sorted ?

Fuel is sorted via a new fuel pump and the brakes are getting sorted out on Wednesday :yak:

 

Still have to install the stereo, which I'll be doing on Tuesday/Wednesday, though I have Friday off, so I may finish it off then if it hasnt been done during the week.

Yeah dude, thats the plan. Being MOnday is a public holiday, I don't know if the caves will be open, so am thinking if we can't do the caves on Monday, we'll do it on Tuesday.

 

Anyway, see ya in 4 and a half hours :)

have fun, stay safe and take lots of photos!

 

hope to join you guys next year

I know you lot are on the road but this still counts!

 

Will be seeing you lot at about 3:30pm, looking forward to it!

 

Drive safely and give us a yell when you get into town.
