Ballina beach camping over new year

[harry]

I want to thank all our members and their guests for coming down to Ballina and especially Dave/ busman for organising this trip.
One of the most enjoyable things happening was the special events for the children on this camping trip, that was fantastic to see all the kids being active and happy.
The cook up was great and I thank you all for your efforts, desert dumplings were fantastic and I think I have a new mum, even if she is younger than me.
Beach driving was great for most, but those that own lowered d3's didn't fare so well, so I am thankful for a tug out.
I also advise that we all should enter the beach in the correct gear and with 4wd engaged.
I now know that a d3 has more sand traps than a 36 hole golf course and perhaps the ferry man should have charged me ten ton truck rates!
Now all this report needs is pictures, some of our people took heaps, sadly, I took none,
Thanks for an enjoyable trip.

Cheers Harry
We had a great week down here, 41 around the dinner table on nye with another 18 kids running as well, thx Jodie for being the kids co ordinator and keeping them entertained, Dave for putting in such a huge effort organsing it and for everyone else for making it such an enjoyable trip. Our guests sent me a message this morning to express the thx for the hospitality shown by our members and to wish everyone a happy new year. I have lots of pics but need to do it on the main computer next week.
Thx Steph & Ian

Did anyone catch any fish?

[philco]

Sounds like they were all to busy to take photos

[ezyrama]

Keep ya shirt on Phil :p. Tonic caught a huge under sized flat head but as there was so much fresh/dirty water from the rain the fishing was a bit ordinary. Lots of fun on the beach though. Cant seen to upload photo's for some reason, keeps coming up invalid file. Any idea's you tech heads?. I will try again later.

Actually I have been pretty slack with photos recently, I didn't take a single one at Ballina. I did get a couple of short videos on the phone but I am having trouble getting them up on the computer at the moment.

I found a couple of photos on the phone for you -

This was what we were driving through on the way down there, stuck in bad traffic around Byron we were wondering if we should turn around and go home for a day or two but we are glad we didn't as the weather did get better.

The beach the first time we went down there, very close to high tide.

And this is what our dogs do when they have had enough of running around in the sun on the beach :).
