Thread: Pebbly Beach 2012

Good report there Pete, and some good pics too!
JohnR will no doubt post some pics as well later, and I'll put some up as well later in the week, just too much on at the moment to sort them.....
It was a good trip, well led, good campsite, great weather, salty river frolics and a good campfire. Great people too!
Very enjoyable indeed, except that just about every rivet, bolt and screw has rattled loose on the gravel road in and back out.... I never knew the fender could have more rattles and squeaks than it already had
On the plus side my solar panel worked a treat - no more flat battery and warm beer!!!

Gutted we missed this trip! ....did anyone catch any fish?

Some more pics

While we were waiting down at BP Grafton for the others we saw these

Vanguard Standard


Mayflower, the owner/driver was 90 and had his wheely walker with him




the creek





our camp



and White D3's




As we were 2WD because we had a Uni Joint failure we new we would/might have problems getting off the beach, but it musn't have happened because there are no photos

Thanks Pete et al for another great trip.

I'd never been to Pebbly Beach before and it's such a great spot. Highlights for me were Harry falling off the ladder and surviving with just his pride and a few ribs bruised, Carolin's fruit cake, seeing 3 big (~1m) turtles swim into the creek, snatching the 101 and finding the toilets (after a fruitless search with Dave's Mum as spotter).

I had to take off on Saturday arvo and was blessed with a lot of rain from Byron north which washed out all the salt water ingested in the creek crossing

Here's some pics:

Pete & Sam

Like everybody has said a great weekend And by all accounts we had miles better weather than SE Qld

Great place Pebbly Beach and it is kept fairly secluded by the creek crossing to get in. Nobody likes salt water in their car but worth it all the same.

The kids had a blast, We had a blast. Great Camping, Very relaxing and most importantly Great company

I've gone for the retro look with the photo's I hope you enjoy



































Bring on the next trip!!

Cheers,

A couple more....

Fantastic rainbow on Friday arvo; always hard (for me) to capture on camera. I thought it was much brighter than this.



Before sunrise on Saturday.
