Black Point, Bugatti Style
Black Point, Bugatti Style
July School Holidays and our annual trip to Black Point on Yorke Peninsula, South Australia, is on, with all systems go, for much needed respite for all. Well respite meaning mischievous rambunctious fun for the teenagers , , , , need I say more. Bad Parenting may be more of an accurate description. But respite from their Mothers as Dads can only give. Three blokes (mates Don & Marco and I), two boats, our kids and their boyfriends and their friends (my Son is smart enough not to have a girlfriend , , , , but has many ).
Oh and the trip to Black Point with us Dads, a catch phrase has become synonymous with the trip , , , , "Just don't tell your Mothers "
Five days, four nights of fun with a token lettuce for the token salad, come on, we are blokes , , , , and the BBQ is our kitchen. Truth is the kids and us eat like kings.
A bit of fishing, a bit of beach walks, a bit of driving to the next town (not sure why), a lot of eating, drinking (sensibly in a supervised environment) basically a bit of everything.
Great location, great company, a great time , , , , simply great.
Beautiful Black Point
At night, nothing beats it.
Yep, nothing like the first trip out
This is the life, but somethings missing ????
Aaaaah feet up, yeeeeah much better
The slaves , , , , oups, the BBQ masters, Don & Marco
I did the wife duties and Oven Duties, and yes, we did have salads , , , , amazingly the kids were very picky on how the salads were. Nice to see healthy eating is part of their lives , , , , ok, ok ,,,,, the Mothers get credit for that
The Human Catapillars , , , , frick they can eat
And at the end of the day, Aaaah yes , , , , but something is still missing
Aaaaaah, Jacks, Single Barrel on ice and yep , , , , dem feet up again , , , , Aaaaah
, , , , with the only thing that is said from that point on wards for the rest of the night, in regards to Parenting is , , , , "Put a Bandaide on it, you'll be fine"
And
"DON"T TELL YOUR MOTHERS"
Cheers, Bugatti
ps. We caught some squid & whiting, if anyone wants to know
ps. to squash any concerns , , , , all kids were returned unscathed, in one piece , , , , and mates and I only sit on two drinks per night.
Oh, and all eyebrows are growing back beautifully , , , , to be explained, in a further post

Re: Black Point, Bugatti Style
Every year, we bring up what we call "Harry Potter Flue Powder"
The kids have a lot of fun with it on the campfire. It is very short lived but very visual. It is a kind of fire ball "poof" type thing.
I don't know how to upload videos, so I have taken screen shots of it. It all happens quick, like a second, as it dissipates quick too. The video is of more than what we let the kids use at one time. They know, use too much, you get banned from using it again for that night. This one is more than usual but just for this video.
My Daughter is doing this one. Please note at the end, on how it dissipates quickly and there are no embers to float away anywhere.
It is like wood sawdust, but a lot finer. It is sanding dust, you can get a floor sanding dude to collect it for you.
VERY IMPORTANT:
The sanding dust needs to be strained through a fine strainer (tapping the strainer helps pass it through) and only keep the fine stuff. Any coarse stuff needs to be discarded so as not to have embers that float away once it goes off.
And no , , , , no one lost any body hair

Re: Black Point, Bugatti Style
Thanks Adrian, and yes it sure was a great time.
We do our mandatory junk food stop up and back at Port Wakefield , , , , the Roadhouse up and the Bakery on the way back. I think the kids love that just as much , , , , they feel they have the town to themselves.
Great way to break up the trip too, with two "one hour" stints
You might have a few years there Smiley before you can say that to your two , , , , saying it too early , , , , you run the distinct suicidal risk of the kids saying, innocently of course "Dad told us not to tell you" , , , , which would soon be followed by a pillow and that crazy itchy woollen blanket and to sleep on the couch
Cheers, Bug, who knows the couch too well

That’s what it’s all about having a fun, relaxing time with some fishing too of course
Kind of reminds me of the trip I had recently with the missus!
We had such an amazing time! Didn’t want to come back :rofl:
Great pics by the way! Thanks for sharing it with us mate
Cheers :thumbsup:
