We went to Robe in south east SA in the second week of January with the family for a week of rest relaxation fishing and 4wding. Had a ball the whole time. We hired a cabin in the Seavu caravan park which was about a 2 min walk into town and had a good enough cabin with a brilliant view.

We spent a day on Long Beach just swimming and messing around with the kids and had a nice BBQ tea. The sand on Long beach is hard and flat and there were heaps of cars but we managed to fine a little patch to ourselves. PS: Awning is on an angle to maximise shade.
Nice sunsets were the norm.
We did the track from Beachport to Robe and had a ball. (This is the second time I have done the trip but a first with the family.) We used the Wattle Rangers 4WD club notes which were awsome and a must have. We also got one of the packs from the visitor centre to get the Park Rangers notes but they said the ranger had been crook and the notes were about 3 weeks old. Not helpful. The sand was pretty soft on some beaches and often there was no way we were able to stop to admire the stunning scenery as i dont think we would have got going again. We were travelling alone and were reasonably comfortable as being peak time there were a fair few people around. However being the chicken I am we did have the maxtrax and an exhaust jack plus all the usual recovery gear. We did have a flag too, but plenty didnt.
We run BFGs with 75% tread left and i was lazy and tried 28psi for the first few km before finding a sand hill that i could not get over after 4 tries so had to go to 20psi and got over easy. Pressure is so important and along with keeping momentumyou really cant go wrong. For info we were 4Hlc all the way but coming off some of the beaches was a bit freaky with sand turning into rocks and dropoffs with out warning. All added to the fun!
However there were some great spots where we stopped.
Good to see the Crayfish boats keep coming in.
Overall an awsome place to relax and use the Paj in its home environment.
Any questions and i would be happy to help.
