I have not thought at all about what to do with the weekend yet and then I realised next weekend is a long weekend and I also have no ideas for that.
BUT I am finally getting my dashcam installed on Tuesday so maybe I should hit the road for the long weekend and see if I can get some Dashcam Owners Australia footage of some dickhead doing dickheadery.
In my experience you won't have to drive far for dickheadery or arseholitude. They're everywhere.
The Macedon Ranges are lovely this time of year.
Considering blowing out the Easter long weekend into the next week and doing a significant drive. Back to looking at the map and thinking about where's new and interesting. I have never been west of Adelaide city in SA, or really anywhere in SA besides Adelaide city and a suburb around it or two. Adelaide is barely worth slowing down for but maybe Port Lincoln or Flinders Ranges could be alright.
I've done the east coast up and down a bunch of times so it's not super appealing to me unless I decide to go FNQ which I've only visited twice but I do like me some tropical holiday.
Will have to do some pondering.
Confest is 5 hours.
I did some googling into what that is and although slightly intriguing.. I'm not sure that's something I would be comfortable attending solo. Also I feel like I'm already judging imaginary attendees in my mind as poseurs and phoneys and I can't handle people like that very well. I'm pre-gatekeeping a community I'm not even a part of and that's a me problem.
Ah, Confest. Rock out with your cock out. In mud.
The one time I went, decades ago, there was indeed a man with the aforementioned out, greeting people at the front gate. Luckily he had a hat and top on, so was being SunSmart
There were many more than one dressed much less when I attended. Canβt imagine it would be a fun sunburn location. An entertaining weekend, but too crunchy woo-woo to make a habit of for me.
Yeah, once was definitely enough for me
Have you been to Victor Harbour? Or anywhere on the Limestone coast? Nice drive at this time of year. Whale watching etc.
Nope I haven't spent any time in SA besides Adelaide and traversing to/from it by car without detouring. Could definitely be an option though. FNQ is nice and all but it is a lot of driving to pack into a week.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look into that area.
Don't miss Coffin Bay and the oysters. Particularly as a lot of Tassie oysters are dying right now so won't be cheap or easy to get for some time.
Go up to bright? thats doable in a day. Its a big day, but its doable.
