I'm pretty much certain to be at this.

We used to go to Marion Bay for holidays back in the 50's/60's, the only thing there was a jetty with train lines to cart wool to the clipper ships, we had to walk to the highway and wait for the milkman.
It is hard to believe it is now a town.

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #3 on:** October 19, 2017, 06:16:39 AM »

I didn't think there were train lines south of Moonta on Yorke Peninsula, although I did see a couple of metres of track on display in Balgowan.

More than likely a private rail set up for the old Gypsum mine which closed down about 1930

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #5 on:** November 28, 2017, 01:49:18 PM »

Has anyone looked at accommodation for this? Most places seem to have a minimum of two nights which is no good for me.

alans1100 · « **Reply #6 on:** November 29, 2017, 09:16:17 AM »

The linked Caravan Park in the first post is ok for one night.

« **Reply #7 on:** November 29, 2017, 09:23:43 AM »

Not for a cabin.

edit: it does say one night may be possible further down the page so I sent a message to confirm.

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #8 on:** December 03, 2017, 04:58:39 PM »

I have got a reply from said caravan park. They did say one night is possible and we can get a discount if their are sufficient bookings.

alans1100 · « **Reply #9 on:** January 07, 2018, 01:12:44 PM »

Only a few weeks away for this one.

Anyone else interested

richo · « **Reply #10 on:** January 07, 2018, 01:57:42 PM »

++n. I should be ok for this one. I will have to look at a tent site

StinkyPete · « **Reply #11 on:** January 07, 2018, 03:37:29 PM »

I'll need to wait and see how I'm travelling before committing to this RTE.

alans1100 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 07, 2018, 03:37:57 PM »

If we don't get enough takers due to accommodation issues (minimum night stays etc.,) it's still feasible as day ride.

Bodø Glimt · « **Reply #13 on:** January 09, 2018, 05:36:08 PM »

I would settle for lunch.

richo · « **Reply #14 on:** January 09, 2018, 07:21:57 PM »

It would be OK with a lunch if this is better for others

StinkyPete · « **Reply #15 on:** January 09, 2018, 08:16:01 PM »

I'd prefer lunch to an overnight, but since I am doubtful will fit in with others if I can make it.

Marion Bay is about 600km return from Adelaide.

alans1100 · « **Reply #16 on:** January 09, 2018, 08:31:17 PM »

About 560 return from Adelaide and 700 km return for us.

600km return days are normal for us. Dad in Loxton is 580 return

alans1100 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2018, 12:55:01 AM »

I've just sent a message to the Marion Bay tavern re lunch time hours on Saturdays. Will update as soon as I know.

More than likely a car trip for us as I was planning to take the bike off the road for a week or two at the end of January to fix up some wiring issues behind the headlight as the left globe keeps going off - loose contact/bare wire somewhere. The top fairing needs to come off so I can see in there to fix.

Response from the Tavern.

Cheers Alan. Our dining room is open from 12-2 on Saturdays for lunch and we also offer wood oven pizza all day from 11am onwards. Please call 08 88544141 for any bookings

Judging by the recent posts it seems a day ride has more preference; maybe 11:30 to 12 midday meet at the Tavern. I can update the ride to suit if need be.

richo · « **Reply #21 on:** January 10, 2018, 08:45:16 PM »

I am happy for a day ride,
