Tours
2013 Overview -
In September, several members took over for a short weekend break to Jervis Bay – some 3 hours south of Sydney. Being collected from Sydney airport we ventured to Huskisson Beach (one of the beaches of Jervis Bay) and stayed in the little holiday park. We caught up with the Vincentia Van Gones rugby club […]
2011 Old Crocs Tour to Brisbane -
Some 20 intrepid travellers set off early one Friday morning in late March to Brisbane for a world wind weekend of rugby and other stuff. A game with the Toothless Tigers (East Brisbane) set the pace for the weekend. A wee bit of an issue though with the plane arriving early in the morning and […]
Old Crocs Tours 2010 – Saigon Geckos -
The club headed off to Vietnam in November for a game with the Saigon Geckos. After an initial few days together, everyone headed off in all directions (up north, into Cambodia or south) meeting back up to head back to Darwin. After a day layover in Darwin, and a game with the Darwin Stray Cats, […]
Old Crocs Tours 2009 -
The old crocs decided that we should tour to Camden to visit the Weathered Rams. They had been to our tournament in Cairns 2 years in a row and we thought it was only fitting that we returned the favour. What a good decision that turned out to be!! We were met at Sydney airport […]
Old Crocs Tours 2008 -
The Old Crocs ventured off on our second overseas tour – this year to Phuket, Thailand. We specifically went to participate in the Phuket Vagabonds International 10’s tournament. We played in the Coffin Dodgers section for the Over 35’s and beyond. The carnival was played over 2 days and fortunately we did not make it […]
2006 – Darwin -
Club members set off to Darwin for a week of R & R. We had a game with the Darwin Stray Cats and took in the sights and activities that the town had to offer. The Cats also hosted a beach BBQ for us. Their “camp” trailer is a veritable travelling restaurant – purpose built […]
Old Crocs Tours 2006 – Lions Den -
A few of the club members organised their own thing and went on a bit of a camping trip to the Lion’s Den (pub) at Ayton near Cooktown. See the gallery for some photos of that trip. After much saving and agonising over the trip this year, we finally agreed to go to Darwin and […]
2005 Old Crocs Tours -
This year we went to Bowen and played the Bowen Mudcrabs. This was a really good day – we played a curtain raiser game to the Mackay Competition round and a Referee from the Defence Force (Townsville) refereed both games. This was followed by a very entertaining night at the Mudcrabs home pub.
2004 Old Crocs Guam Tour -
Two tours were arranged for this year – the first to Guam for the True Grit Tournament, and the second was the traditional family trip, this time to the Sunshine Coast. Guam was heaps of fun, where we unexpectedly won the Bowl final. Such a great tournament that we would like to return next year. […]
2003 Charters Towers Old Crocs Tour -
A somewhat local tour was arranged down to Charters Towers where we played the Knackered Bulls. We elected to stay on Magnetic Island – highly recommended. Once again, the time spent between arriving and the game was very enjoyable. The trip out to Charters Towers was an all day affair, but the Bulls were friendly […]
