Hey All,

Not sure if it applies to everyone, but apparently there is voting on Saturday. Does anyone know about this?? Just thought would let know so you can prevote at the Post office. I think it is some by election 8O , only just heard of it. Perhaps someone else can shed some light. Anyway a heads up for anyone it applies too. That is the end of my community anouncement :wink: ,

We are not required as it is Gavin by election and we fall under Mudgeeraba so you cant vote even if you wanted to. :cry: So no issues for the weekend they aren't going lock you up when you get back. https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Aren't you luckly you dont live in africa were they shoot you when you vote. 8O

Cheers

Thanks Mate for that, wasnt sure what the go was. And your right, by the sounds of it I am glad I dont have to vote over there, you'd have to be bloody keen 8O . Packing havent started, shopping will do Thursday, and if I get home in time this arvo after picking up my brats in Brissie, getting back to Bruce Lyntons to get my car from service and then finally home, will be putting up the tent. Had a heart attack when I looked at all the poles and instructions. Though Im sure will figure out with perhaps some help from my fellow 4by peeps :wink: ,

Its half the fun with the kids (putting up the tent). If I have one suggestion it would be take your time over a beer or 2 putting it up. :wink:

Taaaa daaaaa, I got the tent up with a little help from True ( my 9 yr old), thanks for the call Bolts. And even though I just read your message Noz, I must have read your mind as it took quite a few brews and some hushed colourful language under my breath :wink: . Cuppla mistakes, couldnt get the tarp up, but will know what to do on Friday. Have now hosed it over for waterproofing and now even more eager,

If anyone counting only 2 days to go or 1 & 1/2 sleeps as for us leaving from the coast will be a 3:00am call, 8) not that I'm counting or anything just thought I would pass on that happy info. :wink:

Its not the putting the rod together but more catching the fish. So when I go home I have a reason why there is no fish for the freezer. :oops: Mind you that wholesales fish market could be looking good if empty handed on way home. :wink:

Dont worry I will pack your gear at the back of trailer then "forget" to lock it between coomera and brissie. 8O :wink:

Catch you later

Apparently the fishing is really good and should be moreso because of the weather conditions. Heres hoping as I wouldnt mind catching a feed of fish.

Fishing? what fishing?????
ok, what are we talking about - beach or rock???
what kind of tackle are you taking? i have packed my rod but was wondering about my 12ft surf rod? (it is a bit heavy) (to hold that is!) what bait were you planning to use - are there pipi's there???
lotsa questions, but i would'nt mind catching a few myself....

a 12ft rod is fine.

rock fishing at indian heads, rest is fishing in gutters in the surf.

as for bait, depends what you want to fish for.
i have found that-
whiting and dart take worms or pippies from the beach
tailor and flathead take pillies or mullet fillets
tailor dart and bream take whitebait

[/b][/quote] Mate not that i have ever been to Fraser, but I would assume it would be beach fishing therefore would be dependant on the rod you are taking. I am packing 3 standard rods for the children and myself. I have a fair bit of tackle, including the star sinkers which is good dependant on the surf conditions. Bait once again I will assume there will be a place to get it before we head onto the island and they are usually a good source for the best type. 1 MORE SLEEP TO GO,
