We're there all the time because her sister and nieces and nephews are up there. But what's different about this time is we're actually doing the hotel thing, instead of staying in their guest room.

After 8 years of going to Clare and seeing jack shit, we've started doing the touristy things there. A couple of weeks we headed up and spent an arvo sitting on the verandah of the Clare Brewing Co. (Mrs HH3 loves a beer paddle).

Should be a relaxing couple of days (with an 18th birthday pool party in the middle).


Go to Mr Mick's for dinner mate, it's a tapas restaurant and the food is amazing.

Should be in the things I dont understand thread, but I dont understand people that live in Adelaide going to a caravan park int he same city for a holiday :lol:

Heaps of people do it, my parents are classic offenders, live at Glenelg and go to Kingston Park caravan park for a week! :roll:

A work colleague lives at Goodwood and went to Tennyson for a holiday, I asked him upon his return how long did it take him to adjust to the time zones.

He actually drove home each morning to walk his dogs.

Amazing, especially when there are sooo many great spots within 2-3 hours drive of Adelaide

To be fair, Tennyson beach is probably the best in Adelaide.

If you think about it, if you've never experienced it before, how is it any different from going anywhere else in Australia?

I live at Plympton and often stay at West Beach caravan park.
Takes me longer to pack the car than it does to get there.

I'm with you. It does seem a bit redundant. But some people might rather driving half an hour and end up in a caravan park, opposed to driving 3 or 4 hours and ending up in a caravan park.

Not long after I split up a few years ago the place where I was living was always as hot AF so one weekend the kids and I stayed at the Bolivar caravan park, their air-con units were freezing and we pretty much lived in the pool otherwise, would do it again.
