My Mates Place

🏮 What an amazing night at the Lantern Festival at Elder Park! Great music from Regurgitator, plenty to explore and an absolute ripper crew to share it with! 🎶🙌

Everyone had the chance to explore in smaller groups and come together as one big crew. A busy festival with this many mates could’ve been a challenge, but everyone was respectful, considerate and looked out for each other. Made my job easy—although a headcount nearly required a calculator! 😂

Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a fantastic night. I enjoyed it so much I’m taking the family back tonight… strictly for the family experience, obviously. Nothing to do with going back for more food! 🥟🤣

🎳 Massive crew at Friday Night Socials tonight! At this rate, we might need our own tour bus! 😂

Welcome back, Riely! Joining us are Sharna, Jordan, Troy, Alex, Hannah and Yaz, plus about another eight of our awesome crew. Plenty of laughs and some very questionable bowling techniques guaranteed! 🤣

A quick bowl, then we’re off to Elder Park for the Chinese Lantern Festival! 🏮✨

Look out, Adelaide—My Mates Place is on the move! 🙌

🎳🏮 Friday Night Socials is going to be MASSIVE tonight—16 of us heading out together! Look out, Adelaide! 😂

A big welcome to Sharna and her husband, Hannah and Yazmin! Great to have Riely, Finn and Jacob Stocker back with us too—it’s been a while, mates! Add Josh Couch and our regular crew, and we’ve got a cracking group. 🙌

First up, bowling—where enthusiasm is guaranteed, but accuracy is anyone’s guess! 🎳🤣 Then we’re jumping on the train into the city for the Chinese Lantern Festival, ready for delicious food, colourful sights and plenty of laughs.

New faces, familiar mates and a great night together—that’s what My Mates Place is all about. ❤️

Can’t wait to see you all! Bring your appetite and your best bowling excuses! 😂

🎳🥟🌟 FRIDAY NIGHT SOCIALS — WHAT’S THE PLAN, CREW?

We’re meeting around 5 pm, with bowling at 6 pm as our usual plan. But with daylight saving and some decent weather, we’ve got options! 😎

🥟 Lucky Dumpling Market at Elder Park — lanterns, entertainment and something tasty. A little culture with our dumplings!

🌊 Beachside wander and a bite to eat — fresh air, good company and the all-important debate about what’s for dinner.

🔭 Stargazing at Hawthorndene — something a little different! It runs 8–11 pm, so it’s a late one. Tickets are required, telescopes are provided, and volunteers explain what we’re looking at… handy, because my commentary would mostly be, “Yep, there’s another shiny one!” 😂
Bookings and weather permitting.

What takes your fancy, crew? Let us know below! 👇

Looking forward to seeing everyone tonight. Whatever we choose, the company’s already sorted! 🙌

Bad luck, lads. Gotta be close to getting one of these crowns.👍

After a hard fought effort our APM SA Inclusive Mens Team was defeated by Victoria in the Grand Final.

Well done to the team for giving it their all and for doing SA proud 👏

🏉 GRAND FINAL DAY AT THE HANG PAD! 🏉

Come around today from 2:30 pm to cheer on SA! I’ll fire up the BBQ for some snags and have soft drinks ready. You bring the cheering—I’ll handle the questionable cooking! 😂🌭

Matt, Ben and Courtney are already coming. If you can make your own way here, that would be great. If you need a hand with transport, give me a shout. 👍

Congratulations to the SA Inclusive and Wheelchair Football teams on making the Grandy! Let’s get behind them and bring it home! ❤️💛💙

Absolutely amazing—check out how close you can get to these magnificent elephants at the new enclosure!

Mia and I have brought a great crew to Monarto Safari Park today, and we’re having the best time! 🐘🦍

We’ve had brilliant views of the animals so far. The elephants are spectacular, and a bison came right up to our window—clearly checking out the strange creatures inside! 😂🦬

We also had the pleasure of seeing Happy, the new addition to the chimpanzee family. ❤️

A big thank you to Laura, Hayden, Alex and Tyler for the laughs and great company. You’re a pleasure to take out—what a crew! 🙌
