Hey Joshd,
If you like you can also meet us at Colonnades Carpark if that works for you. So far we have 3 cars meeting there so your welcome to join us if you like. Will meet at about 6am so as we cant get to Lower Light by 7.30.

 

[shane 45]

EKKI thanks for your help down south. We will wait for you at Lower Light the 8 am start can be extended till you get there and have a 5 min break the day is not going to be timed to the second its just going to be a fun day with a lot of laughs.

Joshd we should be on our way home by about 5pm if not a little earlier jst depends on how many stops we make to take photos or look around. As I will have an early start on the monday morning too.

meeting point

Hey Wilkat,
Lower Light is north of Adelaide near Dublin. A bit of a hike from our end of town but if you like we can meet you down south first , say Colonnades Carpark near the Commonwealth Bank probably about 6 then meet up with the others at Lower Light by 7.30.
Karen

hey any chance i can meet you at Colonnades as well?? lived in SA all my life still confusing. lol

 

[Ekki Adventurers]

Hey Pat,
More than welcome to join up on the southerners for the convoy to Lower Light. Us Paj's may just outnumber everyone else on this trip me thinks.
Bad luck Josh - next time. Looking forward to meeting you next time.

 

[shane 45]

It looks like the 9th will be the day of the paj I think. It will be a great day and it will be good meeting everyone from the south too.

 

[Ekki Adventurers]

Ah when your on a good thing - stick to it.......

Some of us are just smarter than the others.
First Mothers Day I've looked forward to in a long time. Can't wait.

 

[shane 45]

I konw mate us paj owners have the brains the others we wont talk about. I am taking my mother out for dinner on the saturday night. So I am still doing my duty as a son. I have done some more exploring in the hills near my place and found a old gold mining area as well as checking out the camping areas at Mt Crawford they have long drop toilets. Chalkys has a openended shack/rain shelter with fire place. Might plan a over night stay up there for a monthly meet then travel from there to the Barrossa Valley to have a look around. Will see what everyone thinks of the Idea.

 

[Poolman84]

I am going to have to cancel. Busted something major at Loveday, I Think? Oil leaking pretty bad.....Probably should go see mum anyways! Bit devastated! Have fun

 

[millsy]

Bad luck Poolman! Hopefully not too expensive, since I am assuming it brought you home OK. Maybe just a seal needs replacing. But hopefully not the rear seal on the motor! Let us know what it was when you find out. Now I will be the smallest truck, and I won't have anyone I can recover! I was counting on you!

 

[shane 45]

Bad luck Poolman there will be other trips mate. Millsy mate that will give us paj owners plenty of recovery pratice mate pulling you out of the s**t.

You can practice on me Shane! I'm looking forward to trying out my 'new' wheels. Had them balanced after work tonight. Might not have time to paint them all before Sunday. Simillar tread pattern to the other ATs, but three times the tread depth. A lot safer! Should be good on the sand though, just like the old tyres, so you might not get much practice!

 

[WILKAT]

What are we doing for lunch? stopping for a bbq or just getting something at some shop somewhere??
Kathy wants to know if to pack lunch or not,we have already sorted out our tea on way home,KFC,we dont have junk food often,but we thought ,what the hell!!

& Kaths NOT happy at getting up at 4.30am on a non working & mothers day ,(because she gets up at 5am ON a work day!!) Also she is not getting breakfast in bed this year!!
We are all looking forward to this trip,since it might be a little while when we can do it again,both car regos,our furniture storage in NSW,& other BILLS BILLS BILLS........ it never ends. SUX!

 

[shane 45]

I am buying my lunch on Sunday if you want to stop for a bbq or pack your lunch you can. I will leave that in your hands why get up at 4.30 you can leave Colonads a 6.00 and still get to Lower Light by 7.30 mate it will be a Sunday Morning and there wont be to much trafic on the road. I should be at lower Light by 7.15. Tell Kath I will buy her a chocolate bar for mothers day.

I think we will just make our lunch,so not to hold up our treck,bbq might take too long.

Kath likes to be up 1 hour before (I end up awake as well!!)
Before we depart,(to get everything organised & getting Kelli organised,1 hr doesn't seem to take that long to wiz past!!!)
So 4.30am to 5.30am is getting ready.
Leave at 5.30am to meet Ekki & others at Noarlunga at 6am (remember we are 20 - 25 mins south of Noarlunga), then on to Lower Light.
So I can't see a half hr or even a 1 hr sleep in!!

THE THINGS WE DO!!!!!!
