Post by: KieranR on April 05, 2012, 10:05:36 AM: We're taking the camprite out to Karijini for a few days, heading off at sparrows tomorrow morning, hoping to beat some of the crowds, should be a cracker weekend. Where's everyone else off to?

Cheers,
Kieran

Post by: Blinky Bill on April 05, 2012, 11:43:03 AM: Since we're semi retired I thought 'why get frustrated with the Easter crowd'? Instead we will stay home & do a few days trips to Armidale, Grafton, Woolgoolga, Coffs Harbour and Nambucca. ;D

Then when all is quiet on the Western Front, we will venture out into the wild blue yonder. :cheers:

Hopefully the weather Gods will smile on us.

To all those who can't have our option we wish you all a great camping experience.

Cheers - Wayne D

Post by: cetacean on April 05, 2012, 12:18:05 PM: We like staying home over Easter as well and avoiding the crowds. Besides April is a lovely time of the year in Perth,and possibly the best month of the year for fishing and boating around these parts. ;D

Congrats Tjupurula!

We are staying at home as most of Brisvegas (took their dog) and left sometime through the week for a camping weekend. We camped last week and are due to camp next week, so 4 days relaxing at home in a very quiet suburbia (I hope).

I'm especially hoping that our worst neighbour, who argue at all hours, at the drop of a hat, who love the F-word yelled at the top of their lungs with gusto, with zero regard for the rest of the neighbourhood, and drive off like they own this road and often leave "tracks" and the smell of burning rubber ... are at least going somewhere else this weekend (that's my dream at least).

Post by: WannaBe on April 05, 2012, 06:42:31 PM: We're home for the weekend as well, and heading to Amamoor Creek campground on Monday after the Easter crowd has left. Hope they leave in a reasonably clean state!!

Post by: Sawed-Off on April 05, 2012, 06:55:42 PM: We're doing our first trip with the Tambo, which is incidentally our first ever trip with a CT. Heading to Chillagoe. It'll be a bit of a shakedown trip so we can figure it all out before we start to go on some longer trips.

Campfire, our condolences to you both.

Post by: whitey1 on April 05, 2012, 08:07:09 PM: We are heading over to El Questro for the weekend. Hoping that all the gorges are now open as they weren't last week. Going with the Kununurra 4WD club http://www.kununurra4wdclub.org.au/ (http://www.kununurra4wdclub.org.au/) . Should be a good weekend ;D

Post by: cruisindub on April 06, 2012, 12:09:23 AM: DIY, Gardening, home maintenance, home stuff,....
A day at the races, the good wife has already made a fascinator for the cup day,

oh yeah, and dealing with stupid bloody family crap.

The family (aunts and uncles/parents included) are all trying to put my 95 year old grandfather in a 'old peoples' home as none of them want to deal with him.
Bloody familys. Sometimes you wish you could tell them what you really think.
My grandad still drives to our house 4 days a week, and is sharp as knife, as fit as a 95 year old is who makes plans every day,...and lives them out. Passes his driving test every year, tells the best jokes and is the best Grandad ever.
Maybe this should be in the 'What peaves me off thread', (the daily rant thread).
So yeah, my fun easter weekend will be scarred by silly family issues and no doubt some falling out between the family.

If Grandad had a couple bob, the feeling would be different no doubt.

Hope you all enjoy the easter break. Safe travels.

Post by: singo-26 on April 06, 2012, 12:15:00 AM: I was hooking up the camper and going away, but I've just put mum into respite again and have to look for a place for permanent care. So now according to the wife I'm visiting the Mother in law, the tip, the shops and visiting Mum.

Edit:Cruisindub I just read your post, I'm in the opposite position. Mum needs to go into care but doesn't want to, well didn't want to till last weekend, now she knows she has to for her own safety. The family cr@p is not fun though,and I feel for you through that. I hope despite all that you can have a good easter. :cheers:

I hope the two are not directly related, and that they are chocolate easter eggs.
Sorry, I could not resist throwing that one in.
