    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.

        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.

          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. Can’t imagine it would be a fun sunburn location. An entertaining weekend, but too crunchy woo-woo to make a habit of 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.
