Bargara Beach & Turtle Watch Aust. Day 2013

Just thought I'd add some stuff from the flooded 2012 run for other folk!


www.bargarabeach.com.au/welcome.asp

I've told BB C/P that other Vintage van people may come too, so when you book, mention Vin Vans & pet friendly sites. The whole of the 16 pet friendly, powered grass sites are available at moment. We checked out this caravan park earlier in the year & it's really great. Lovely flat grassy areas, nice trees, just opposite the beach, snorkeling out the front, & it's only a 2.5 km walk along the beach to Mon Repos to see the turtle rookery. Last week in january is the best time to see turtles, as you get the last of the adults laying eggs & the first of the hatchlings racing off to the water.

There's also a great day trip out to Lady Musgrave Island to see the reef, but of course that ain't cheap.

Hi all

I got an email from Bargara C/P today about confirming our booking, so keep an eye out for it, those people who have already paid deposit.

Hi all

Just a reminder for those of us who already had our deposit transferred from 2012 to January 2013, you need to pay the full amount you've booked in for on the Australia day long weekend, by the end of October which is really soon!

Anyone else thinking of booking with the Caravan Park, just mention you're with the Vintage Vanners, see the info above!

sounds like a great plan, I will book in tomorrow, once ive decided which days suit (catching up with an old friend who lives in bargara at the same time !) kids are really keen to see the turtles too.
see you all then, nicole.

Hi
Tried to book for 3 days told them Jody said it was OK and they said No must be four nights , can't make four nights so we are unable to go.
Just thought I would save someone else from phoning.
Take care
Sharon & Steve

Hi all

thanks Sharon for letting us know about this communication problem. I'm forwarding on the email to the caravan park that stated we only have to book for 3 nights. So if you only want 3 nights, don't book until I get it sorted with the C/Park. OK?

smiles

Hi Sharon,

What a shame.

If only you had tried to book before the end of October. I changed my original 3 night booking (my choice) to a 4 night on the 31st October. If I had know you could have had that booking and I would have made a new 4 night booking for me.

Luv Di

Hi all, Dennis and Sue booked in 24th-28th Jan,with
Vintage caravans.

Hi Annie & Johnny
glad to hear you're coming to Bargara!
Nice to meet you at Canungra after hearing your names mentioned many times, mostly whenever we go to Mr Victorian Living in Bris.

Hi to the rest of you Bargaran travellers!
Can everyone who's going to Bargara PM me your site nos so I can work out the next area for us after the pet friendly area is full, so we try & stay together in the Park at least in clusters? There's heaps of space adjacent to the PFA (pet friendly area) that is lovely & grassy, no slabs, but no power. Being the friendly bunch we are, that would not be a problem with engel/Waco type fridges as we can run them in other powered annexes nearby but it would mean no lights. I don't get the feeling Jodie would be frilled at us piggybacking somehow!!!!

So I hear on the grapevine Some People on the Other Forum are coming too. I haven't got around to joining the other forum as yet ( 2 jobs, study & farm) but will do so soon just to keep these people in the loop.

We are all part of the same vintage van family after all, just some of us are on different forums & of course some people enjoy staring into a fire with a v/van & velvety black sky behind them & some people like to have a dance party once in a while or maybe both!

As JBJ likes to say "Its all good!"

Hi all

quick phone call to the C/park yesterday confirmed that 10 vans (all VV members) are booked & paid for.

So that leaves 3 powered sites available in the PFA (pet area), sites 14, 15 & 16 before anyone else has to think about unpowered or other areas.

I am not going to put up a list of attendees, why encourage the burglars?

Friday seems like a good night to book the Turtle Tour so I will get details up soon of this tour. Hey Phil, you still got that info?
