Dig your angel wings. Welcome to the forums.

Ring the real estate agents they will find you one.

well, do ya know anyone who has a shack down victor way? thats probably useful.
im sussing that out i know someone with a shack goolwa... close enough to victor....kinda!

i think both the caravan parks are booked out by now.. cuz we called up like 2 months ago and booked something and they only had camping sites left,... so we booked one of them. . but it's hell expensive.. but it'll be worth it i sposeee.

goodluck with finding somewhere n stuff..

well i rang EVERYWHERE and i managed to find a few tent spots and middleton caravian park arn't taking bookings till september so i think im sorted. thanks!

Hey ppl, I updated and upgraded the forums for Schoolies Victor Harbor, hope you like it and lots more info about booking accommodation is added.

Toni, are you from Mount Barker primary school are you going to victor dunno if you remember me i am tenille, i went to mt barker primary. hopefully i see you there!!!!!!! :beer:

Me and my friends are coming down and staying in the caravan park for 4 nights, we're from Mt Barker High!!! where u from?

hey i went to Aberfoyle Park HS last year, n stayin where ever i can :D

Stay @ a hotel man. It'll beat sleeping in ya car and u can get pissed up there and walk down into the party. (Thats the life, the party coming to you and you not having to go to the party)

oh lol no i didnt mean it like that. I got a mate that lives in victor (like just down the road from the attractions), so i'll be staying at her place, and also a beach house one night, caravan park another night... lol
Bring on schoolies wooooo

yeah that will be great 4 sure!!!!!

im not sure how it will go down with non schoolies at the caravan park??

come on, im only 18!! there will be schoolies older than me there! :p

i dont really have a problem but some other people might? i think that genuine schoolies should have preference over non schoolies regarding bookings but oh well.

i can see you point there. I dont have a booking at the caravan park - im plan to crash it. lol

u beta not come on my camp site. i heard that by the end of the four days that everyone takes other peoples room and u get left with hardly any room at all. is this true?

..................

that is fair good ^^

and kymbo, last year the caravan parks were fair packed but i think people still had their site to themselves.

I haven't really taken much notice of schoolies week here - for us locals the schoolies are an economically essential nuisance. But we're doing schoolies week for tourism at school, so I'll see if I can get you some more information. We get a lot of schoolies here, so accommodation will probably be a pain if you haven't booked early. As someone said earlier, the real estate agents are probably the best place to ask, as there are many holiday rentals available down here.

i wonder if the orange wristbands are the same from last year.... i've still got mine LOL

I doubt it lumpy goat. lol if it was

says genuine school leavers will be the only ones wearing the orange bands... i'll show them! keke

im not sure how it will go down with non schoolies at the caravan park??
How anything at schoolies week will go down depends upon the individual. There have been major controversies down here every year after schoolies, and it can go on all year. Opinions tend to be polarised, and to some extent, it depends on people's previous experience of schoolies. There are some people who will never be happy about schoolies being held in Victor, regardless of what changes are made, or what is said. This poll is from this week's local paper:


Should a public meeting be held to discuss Schoolies Week celebrations on the South Coast?

Yes. It is important that the public has a say on improvements. 62.1%
No. It won't matter what we say, it will be the same. 12.1%

Public meetings have been held in the past, so the issue ought to be a dead horse. Unfortunately, every year at least one plate glass window gets broken by idiots, which supplies the anti-schoolies lobby with fuel. Most people, however, were young at some time in their lives, and so you're welcome with the vast majority. You'll just have to try to avoid the crabby ones.

As for accomodation, it's all booked out long before schoolies begins, if you don't have a place booked you'd have to be super-lucky to get one late. If the only place you can get is in Port Elliot, Middleton or Goolwa, last year there were free buses running between Goolwa and Victor Harbor for schoolies, picking up people from the other two places on the way. I think you would need an orange band to get on them, there are heaps of people many years past schoolies age who hang around and try to get in on the action. There are a number of caravan parks, but they're all expensive.

A lot of people sleep in their cars in the Woolworths and BiLo car parks, but I don't know whether that will be cool this year. In past years, the police have left them alone because they figured they were safe where they were, but some of the anti-schoolies people have raised objections on the grounds that it's unsanitary. OK...Bilo doesn't have toilets the public can use, but there are nice clean toilets in the arcade where Woolworths is, and Woolies opens at 7.00 AM, so you can go then. If the antis see you peeing in the bushes at the edge of the car park it might spoil things for next year's schoolies. Sleeping in the car is a reasonable option for some people. Of course, there are lots of other places where you can park a car, but out-of-the-way places might not be safe

Details for this year: Victor Harbour Schoolies (http://accommodation.schoolies.org.au/victor-harbor-schoolies.htm).

Is it me or don't the Adelaide School Leavers even consider the Gold Coast,Phuket,Penang,Bali or even Australian Contiki Tours for the people who will be 18 by the time Schoolies rolls around?I for one would like Someone to start a New Trend and do something different for Schoolies.
