Moonlight Beach Chaos!

This beach event is one of a kind that started way back in 2007, when a  genius parallel to no other being had a theory, that a beach party at night would be a brilliant idea after a day of getting sunburn. The idea was put forward to MSO and the rest as they say was history as the mixture of cool sands, hot pizza, keropok, fun games, a beautiful moon and water dunking in pitch black darkness proved to be a recipe that could even rival that of Famous Amos and with no sunburn to boot!!

So come on over to Maroubra Beach with your beach gear and join us in darkness in this unique MSO event!

Event Details:

When: Friday night, 26th March

Where: Maroubra Beach

Time: 6.30 pm to 9 pm

How: Take 395 or 396 to go to Maroubra Beach and 396 to return to UNSW

Food: Domino’s Pizza, Prawn Crackers, Curry Puffs and drinks!

Price: $2 for MSO members and $3 for non MSO members

Additional Details:

Late comers will be dunked into the ocean with little remorse. Bring extra clothes and a beach towel.

Bring light jackets if you are vulnerable to chilling winds.

Bring a flash light if you are afraid of the dark.

Bring a super scary mask that will scare the bejesus out of people.

There will be no bonfires but do bring a guitar to serenade the girls.
