This years October long weekend club trip was once again organised by Peter & Lynda.

Meeting at the Boliver OTR to fuel up, coffee up and rev up for a great weekend. Everyone was on time so off we went with the next stop planned for lunch at the

Ardrossan Hotel. There “may” have been a couple of minor mechanical hiccups on the way but nothing we couldn’t overcome due to having a trusty Toyota Landcruiser amongst us.

Anyway, we all eventually arrived at Ardrossan for a great SA country pub lunch and a drink or two before heading further down the coast.

Peter and Lynda chose the quaint town of Stansbury on the Yorke Peninsula as our base and booked out the entire Stansbury Holiday Motel (Thankfully) which allowed us to - let’s just say “Be ourselves”. The management of the motel were the nicest and easiest going people, you could meet. This made for a really chilled and relaxing place for us to stay.

That night, Lynda and her team of happy helpers performed some magic behind the scenes and before you knew it, we were being fed dinner in the gazebo overlooking the ocean. Plenty of food and plenty of laughs. A great night.

Saturday morning, the energetic ones amongst us walked into town to check out the

local Stansbury street market. Bought nothing and eventually wandered back ready for a drive.

Peter & Lynda planned for us a tour of some of the sites this part of the Peninsula has to offer. From historic plane crash sites to pink lakes. All was going well until

Peter walked crossed the road on a blind corner and almost got taken out by the local cop who was chasing someone at high speed. (Surprisingly – not one of us).

 That evening, we had 3 tables booked at the Dalrymple Hotel, Stansbury. The pub did a amazing job in getting the food out to us considering they were packed with long weekend holiday crowds. It was also great to have local club member Alan & partner Peta with friends join us adding to the good times.

Sunday came around. We fueled up in Minlaton and headed to Marion Bay via

Corny Point. Lunch was organised at the Marion Bay Tavern and once again, we all got fatter.

Some chose to visit Innes National Park and some chose to keep their cars clean. Eventually, we all made it back to our Motel.

Dinner that night was takeaway pizza from the Hotel in town. We crowded into the McBride's Penthouse to eat, drink and again, get fatter. Lyn organised a name draw with Tim and Chris winning a couple of great prizes without any effort. We were

too cold to go outside and have a competition game to find our winners. Later that night, I was once again forced to tell some far-fetched story about a dead camel just for everyone’s cheap entertainment.

 Monday morning came, and we had to join the queue of Yorke Peninsula holiday traffic back to Adelaide. All I can say is “Curse those caravan drivers”.

Good ol’ Pt Wakefield was chaos as usual but we detoured to the Rising Sun Hotel in the back streets for one last meal together.

The weekend had come to an end. The weather was kind. The company was great and there were laughs a plenty. I know everyone thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.

We all enjoyed every minute of it due to one big reason. That’s because of the amazing job that Peter & Lynda had put into it.

A HUGE THANKYOU FROM ALL OF US, PETER & LYNDA.

Also, a BIG THANKYOU to all the helpers over the weekend. It’s also what makes these weekends work so well.
