Who goes to Echuca for the Southern 80 in Feb??
Just wondering, Is anyone obsessed with the Southern 80 like me?
For those that don't know, it is an annual Ski Race held on the Murray River on the second sunday of Feb every year.........
Absolutely Awesome weekend, well week for me, I get u huge bunch of people together and each year our group increases, we camp on the Vic side of the River, about 10k's out of Echuca......
Heres some pics from last year....

A few of my mates went up last year, and quite a few of them are going up again this year, they are all trying to get me to go. There is a slight chance

Yeh, the Boats you see are some of the ones in the Southern 80, but the 80 is the Biggest Ski Race ever held in the Southern Hemisphere, it like triples the mildura 100........ In Boats and people.......
Wagon Wheel, if you go, let me know where you will be, I will pop in........
As for anyone else, I will be in an old White Savage Clinker with the name "Woodys 1" on the side..... Yell out and I will pop in for a beer or 10...lol...
And yes I can bring some girls with me.....lol..

Ha ha, yeh we get that every year, a few beers and before you know it, someone is punching on....... It all gets sorted pretty quickly and the Tools end up pulling their heads in and enjoying the weekend...... Every year we will have some group trying to impress all our girls, and yeh we pretty much don't hear from them again...lol... It's all part of a great and wild weekend..... That's what makes it so good!
