A quick 4 night getaway to Moana over Australia Day, took the next Friday and Monday off to make it a super long weekend.
Booked in at the beautiful Moana Shores Caravan Park.
Arrived about 12:30 and set up.
Had some lunch in the van and then went for a walk down to the Moana beach. It was absolutely packed. Cars were allowed to drive on in one area and we think it stretched for about 850 metres long and the cars were 4-5 deep. Counted 38 jet skis and many more kayaks and paddle boards.
Later in the afternoon we drove to Port Noarlunga and walked the jetty and beach there, not quite as busy but still hard to get a park.
Back to the caravan park for dinner.Read more

Moana to port Noarlunga walk
January 29, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 17 °C
Very overcast and drizzly morning, played around at the caravan for the morning.
This afternoon walked 14km round trip from Moana beach to Port Noarlunga. Had a coffee at Port Noarlunga before returning.
Was a lovely walk. Overcast all afternoon but about 22 degrees and no wind really.
Saw a pod of about 3-4 dolphins on our way back.Read more

Day 5
Maintenance Monday
January 30, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
Started packing up to head home this morning and as Rob was checking around the caravan he noticed a large gash/tear in one of our caravan tyres. Very good pick up by him as it looked close to blowing. So he did a quick change to the spare before we headed off.
We had also been having problems with our water pump for the last few trips as it had developed a very slow dripping leak, but this trip it became a real problem and became a major water leak, filling the cavity under the fridge where the pump is housed with water. We called Dario's and asked if they had one in stock that we could purchase for Rob to replace as we couldn't wait for when the van was booked in for work in March.
They had one there, so we picked it up on the way home and Rob swapped them over this evening when we got home.
Also got the spare tyre replaced late this afternoon.
Caravan all fixed up and ready for our next trip away to Point Turton on Saturday for a week.Read more
