BaHAHA. Nice one puppet. Spot on though.

Now for anyone interested we have secured a full caravan park on the beach for anyone attending the nationals at 10% off normal rates. The park managers are opening it up just for us. It is on the beach and opossite a very large playground. It is about a 5 min walk to the centre of town and right next to sat night entertainment and sun entertainment.

Surfside Holiday Park (03)5559 4700
www.surfsidepark.com.au

When booking just mention the nationals to get the discount.
The park is called shipwreck bay or surfside 2 to the locals.
Limited cabins are available at surfside 1.
Both parks are close to each other on pertobe rd Warrnambool.

Anyway talk soon

what the ****? i have probably got something wrong here cause i havent read all the posts but it is the nationals and it works on a "first in best dressed" system?

Am I allowed to wear my straps?

Ok the regristrations are coming in nicely and the planning is going well. We have already allocated a prize to the first person who entered and paid. Big congratulations to ....... (We will anounce that one one the Sat night).

Thanks to everyone who is keeping the buzz going, much appreciated.

Keep a ear on tripple j in the next coming weeks as their is likely to be some hype happening there.

Until next post stay cool and good winds. Hope you guys in qld start to dry out soon.

Been checking the swell and banks at the comp site a lot recently. Looking good. A nice left right peak straight out front.

just wondering if anyone who is coming to the nationals from out of warrnambool can decipher the next statement for a small prize. It refers to different places in warrnambool and boolisms.

"my grandmother's dirty angel told me that the mahogany bunuip used to eat flumin nibble pies on top of the ball with three red chopsticks. It totaly wrecked him unlike his peackock mate who loved to run the flag up the staff on the hill to see jesus at a local watering hole. This all used to point out the thunder to levy whilst he was cutting a beachy. The only one going the right way though was Wilma and she could not decide what gallery to visit to have a whale of a time."

Good luck with this.

I dont know if we could organize a bus. Could be possible but cost would wreck us I think. Jason has organised cheap v-line train travel for all kiters coming to the bool (I think 50% off). There are shuttle buses from Tulla that run every half hour to southern cross station and a train to Warrnambool 3 times a day. Once in Warrnambool most accom and pubs are all within walking distance BUT we will have a shuttle bus on the go to get people to and from comp site.

I hope this helps eleviate stress of travel and I don't think hireing a car is necessary.

Glad my riddle messed with your delirium. Still nobody had a crack at getting some places or boolisms. Here is one for ya The Flume (it is one of the sites for the nationals) that is in the ridddle.

The event will be held at either of these three spots and we generaly get SE at this time of the year.. See Seabreeze Graphs/west coast/ Portland is an hour down the road. (Looking nice from Sunday)

Surf report from

Surf spot around Warrnambool area

Wind Northerly is best but can handle Northwesterly and Northeasterly.

Swell 2-3ft is best start to close out when gets much bigger.

Location At the of Foster street.


------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Spot Granies
Wind Northerly to slight Northeastery
Swell Best around 4 ft+
Tide All tifes are ok but can get think with a high tide.


East of The kelp patch near the Flume. Picks up a Slightly bigger swell than the flume and the swell gets bigger further towards the point (Hopkins river mouth). Depends on Banks, which are fairly fickle, can hold up to 6'+ swell out the back but is prone to closeouts. Ideal wind is north east. Tide is not critical. There can be a heavy shore break with significant back wash associated with the steep beach.

Access: very rough vehicle ( may not be accessible) on flume car park road left immediately after to railway crossing. Alternately , walk from flume car park along beach or walking track or park in Hickford parade near Patricia St and walk down walking track - both about 700 metres
