Hi TPH,
Mate I reckon this is the best fun you can have in South Oz. I would love to go there and show you around but I can only dream about doing that! The above links are maps and guides to campsites and track details, the first is from Robe to Nora Creina including the Little Dip CP and the second is from Beachport to Nora Creina.
You can pick up a tide chart from the visitor centre or Jammo's store in Beachport if you are coming up from Millicent or if coming in from Robe call into the Caltex (Ampol?) and he should be able to help you out. Of course low tide is best and the wind down there can keep the tide up for a while too. Gee you have picked a great weekend to be there, we are expecting temps in the 30's in Adelaide.
Only tricks are use a sand flag and get the tyres down, I set mine at 12 and 15 straight of the bat. I have been down to 8psi and going nowhere at Little Dip on the beach. I've done a double length snatch with a full strap run-up, 12 pulls and finally pulled my mate out. If you have muddies they will dig you down instantly. I am not trying to scare you - it is all fun!!!
Let me tell you if you want to have safe fun away from the beach, the buggy club is the place to go. It is called the nine mile sand hills or the Millicent Buggy Club. Free range to try out some massive dunes but look out for the drifts on the other side, I recommend looking first before you crest it and then realize there is a ten foot drop on the other side. Stay off the grasses and shrubs as these hold the dunes together.
One more thing, SLOW DOWN TO WALKING PACE AT NORA CREINA, the owner is sick and tired of hoons driving and riding through his private property at speed. There are kids playing in this area all the time. Leave the gates as they were.
As for fishing, good luck, heaps of gutters along the beach but never had any luck. Not uncommon to hook up a school shark at dusk.
Looking forward to seeing a few pics, Rick.
