Have a good trip guy
Going up to Fraser tomorrow for a couple of nights.
Staying at Kingfisher.
Will be out in one of the Resort buses on Thursday with my staff, so maybe see you at one of the usual haunts.
Cheers Dave, I tend not to travel too far when I'm up here for extended times as the fuel bill adds up very quickly:o. Hope the weather wasn't too bad for your stay at Kingfisher, it's been considerably windy but the rain hasn't been that bad.
Fish? Pics?
How's the Alfa handling in the sand?
Yeah I've caught a few fish, quite tasty thanks:)
So you do want pics - I'll load some sometime.
The red beast is handling the sand nicely, the water puddle may have killed the heater though:o - it was working well beforehand. Really should have checked the depth of the third puddle... Its easy to see how some drown their cars up here.
I have finally got round to loading some photos of the trip so far. I am staying in some accommodation called Waddy lodge which is located next to the Rangers station at Waddy Point. It is the closest accommodation to the beach at this end of the Island. It is quite isolated from all the other residences. The place operates on Gas for cooking, hot water and the BBQ's, and solar for all things electrical with backup batteries for those long periods of rain. When the batteries get below a certain voltage the inverter automatically kicks in the Diesel generator and charges them back up.

The pictures:
1. This was after one of the bypasses, there is still several hundred metres of rock to negotiate - this was at low tide
2. White Coffee Rock just north of Dundaburra (where the club has camped recently) - it blends very well with the sand and could easily be missed if you weren't paying attention.
3-5. Are the accommodation and grounds where I'm staying. The table in the left of the last photo is the filleting/scaling table for all those fish that are caught
Few more photos:)
