| Details: | After a great 2011 Xmas at Peaceful Bay, we have booked 10 sites together (so we do not have to be spread out like this year). Deposits are not required till about March. No real fixed plans, just plenty of time at the beach, perhaps a winery or two and probably some day trips to Broke Inlet, Windy Harbour or perhaps even Calcup Hill via Summertime Track. Great place to bring the kayaks, snorkeling and fishing gear. | |
