Robe, SA

See more trips

Heading to Robe for a weekend (Sat, Sun and Monday). If you are keen on beach driving, this is a good opportunity for you. 

 

Sat (9 Dec)

Initial plan is to meet at Sea Vu Caravanpark in Robe http://www.seavucaravanpark.com.au/ in on Fri  (9 Dec)

The plan is to drive from Robe and head south on Sat. We will break camp early and take our time to explore the area. There are many unmarked tracks around sand dune. It will take time to find our way. There will be plenty of photo opportunity. Winston and Antony will be helping us on leading this trip. Winston will also film the trip using his drone. It will be an amazing opportunity to film your vehicle too. 

Depends on our convoy speed and if there are any recovery. We will turn around and return back to Robe.

 

Sun (10 Dec)

On Sunday, we will head straight to Beac to hport, which is about 20-30 mins south of Robe. From there, we will head north. There are many sand (and BIG) dunes to play around. We will continue to head north, we may keep going north until we get back to Robe. Or we find the shortest/quickest way through hwy and drive back to Robe. 

 

Mon (11 Dec)

On Monday, everyone can decide what they want to do or go. It's your free time and head back to Melbourne. 

 

 

Accommodation

We will be staying at Sea Vu Caravanpark http://www.seavucaravanpark.com.au/ (08 8768 2273)

They have allocated a special camping area for our group. It's close to the beach and other facilities. 

The cost of camping is $13 per person per night if you are going to camp for 3 nights. If you can only stay for 2 nights, it will be $15. 

Please make a booking by COB 28th Oct to reserve your spot on this trip. Make sure you quote "4WD TRIP" when booking your stay. Pleaee also send me your confirmation details. Due to high demand for this trip, you will be removed from the trip if booking is not made by the due date. Thank you. 

 

This trip will be suitable for a standard 4wd (sorry, not SUV such as Xtrail or RAV4). You will need low range gear (i.e. 4H and 4L). 

 

Sand Flag

You will need a sand flag to drive in Robe. 
Some of our members DIY their own sand flags. 
You can also get them on eBay or other 4x4 stores.
