Thread: Fraser Is. September trip details

For all those having a go about travel time (Even though they aren't coming to frazer .......................... outlaw)

Yes if we are going to catch the ferry by midday and everyone else by 10:00am we need to leave the cost at 5:30am to miss all the traffic on gateway, which is why I requested names and travel times for all coming to Frazer.

So we will miss the traffic over gateway we are looking now to head off at 5:30am from BP coomera.

Will run through trip at meeting tonight if you wont be at meeting please pm me with your travel arrangments.

Cheers

We put the waterproof seat covers on the D2 today just in case you wet yourself when you take it for a drive No fancy LCD screen in this one to tell you whats going on, just some lights and buzzers and stuff. It will be a sad day when the D3 goes, but at least you'll still have a bag of fun in a D2. Look on the bright side, all the different tyre and accessory options will make up for it. Plus I can get genuine parts for you cheap. Hey I will make up a set of rock sliders for you before you pick it up so you can include them in the deal!!!. Plus I will have my diff/steering guards made as well,see its getting better already.

See you at the BP, gizmo boy

Hi folks, I should have posted weeks ago that I was not going.

Sorry about the late notice but I have deliberately NOT read this thread out of jealousy of those going, but wish you all the best.

One point, if you are heading to the lighthouse, CHECK THE TIDES.

When we were there last time, part of the beach north of Indian Head had been washed away by the cyclone earlier that month and we had to wait for the tide to drop before we could get passed so check it out before you go up that way or you may get stuck on the northern end of the island for a few hours.

Anyway, you all have a good weekend.

Cheers

Like the idea of getting sliders made and whacking it on finance. Yeah I will miss my gizmo mobile, but it wont be forever and having driven a D2 when Ive had the car in for servicing, I found them great, plus as you point out I will be able to modify this one more easily. Whoo hoo we will be there this time next week .

Shame you cant come Tim, wont be able to see the night sky light up like the second coming . Will catch you on the next trip, at least you got to go to Coffs .

Hey did I mention it is only 7 MORE SLEEPS to go,

Regards

Hoy Stevo what's all this talk about you and a D2??? I go off air for a few days and all hell breaks loose.... GO THE FENDER... FENDER RULEZ

Yeah im going through my d2 phase atm, plus the pro d2 party is pretty strong . Final decisions will be made once I have taken both for a sin, moreso the Fender as I have driven the D2 before, you still may end up with another one in the fender brotherhood

We plan to go up Thursday night and get a unit over night at Rainbow Beach then catch early ferry across.

Much easier day if not have to do it all in one day - that is what we did last time. If the rest not coming until 10am we will probably catch an earlier ferry as have tent to pitch so want to be set up ASAP and then explore.

So can someone advise where the group is camping on the beach?
What time is the first ferry?
Is anyone else planning to go early?

What is the tour plan on the Island? We would really like to see the lakes - not so much the top of the Island as a long drive for not much. We also plan some fishing time.

We plan to come back Sunday night as have work/school

Josh (Ringin) will probably come up Friday night - does anyone know when the last ferry goes?

I think the barges run from sunrise to sunset. If you need to confirm call them on 0418 872 599 (the barge itself) or landline 07 5486 8600 - this is for the Manta Ray (the green barge)
