It’s a great place and the fishing isn’t bad either,particularly when the Tailor are running.

When we last went they were building composting toilets, think that's what they were.

Oh bugger you, Steve. I'v just googled Tailor & Now I have to look for Snodger Flatties. They must be either a woman's shoe from the '60s or an artificial Bra.Quote:

If you haven't been on Fraser it is heavily wooded and a good wind or self generated one would very easily start a maelstrom there and you can't get off some the tracks even if you want to.
If the **** hits the fan they will cry like ****.
I was in Caloundra last week and a couple of days there the smoke was quite thick.

BRISBANE: Australian firefighters are struggling to control a massive bushfire that already destroyed 40% of the UNESCO world heritage-listed Fraser Island before a heatwave hit Monday.
The fire on the world's largest sand island, off Australia's east coast, has been raging for more than six weeks and is consuming large swathes of the island's unique forests.
