But I guess you get groups of people like this in any locality so I'm not sure it should put you off completely, unless of course you have seen stuff like this happening before

I guess that last part was why I posted this as it was brilliant to witness. What you see when you don't have a video camera!! I wrote to relatives and friends about it. They weren't bikies as such but bikers (sports bike riders) but they looked tough enough and they behaved well and were enjoying their meals with some innocent fun that bothered no-one.

Yes, you are right as it can happen anywhere. I guess anyone reading this should not take it personally as the area is beautiful. Don't let a small bunch ruin it as surely not all locals are like this. It was terrible behaviour of a few and other people in the restaurant commented later on how bad these people behaved. I guess I did post this a little early to vent as the experienced played on my mind a bit. I was that angry I even posted this on a couple of forums. A couple that we met there from were house hunting also and he travels extensively so we exchanged email addresses and such and compared accounts of what happened.

There was one gentleman there that said he has seen it many times before and said there is an element in Avalon that are feral etc. He was a local. He said not all are like that as most are well educated professionals and retirees. that live in the area.
