Weekend Escapes

Post by whufc »

This weekend im taking the wife and the 2 daughters (4yo & 1yo) to Victor Harbour for a weekend get-away.

We are staying at the McCracken Country Club

Im looking to get up at the crack of dawn and squeeze in a round of golf while the girls get abit of a sleep in, the Saturday we are planning on just spending time down at the beach having lunch etc etc, Saturday night we are taken the kids out to do the 'fairy penguin tour.'

Any ideas on what would make a good Sunday down at Victor?

Good luck with the penguin tour, at the last penguin census, there were only 148 penguins left on the island, compared with almost 3000 back in 2000 thanks to the bloody seals moving in on the territory.

Although, if you want to tucker the kids out, don't tell them about there being no birds and make them do a lap of the island and stick their head in every penguin hole you can find :lol:
