Thread: gold coast bribie trip

Yep went up at hightide and was slow soft going but still driveable... none of the lagoons seem'd to have broken through at all... inland track was still closed for an undetermined amount of time, we asked the rangers and they couldn't let us know when it will reopen.

The mozzies weren't too bad... had much worse up at fraser... a few march flys around but the bushman kept the bities at bay

All in all a very enjoyable night away, wish i could have stayed longer myself but for my first time there was a good time... oh and the sand in the lagoon held the wait of my spotters... just not my fender But luckily we have a good bunch of members who have learnt well and followed all the recovery and safety procedures perfectly

Do you think you need heavier spotters then? I go to bribie a fair bit on day trips and it is an awesome spot for the kids to play in the Lagoons in relative safety. Would of come out to see you guys but I work on saturdays so couldn't. The inland track is good drive as you can have a look at the old lighthouse and there is a good grassed campsite at poverty creek(mozzi reppellant a must have) it was also a good route if it is high tide as on some high tides the beach is untrafficable. As i mentioned in the previous post if the lagoons break thru even at low tide the crossing can be too deep for some. Last time i went there i had about five people watch me go thru b4 they were game enough too. Water was level with side steps and flowing quite fast but was pretty easy too cross though not sure what every one else was worried about .
