Fraser Island Trip

thinking about it.... was gunna pm you about it actually... we only get week from boxing day to day after new years away...

Funny we were going to go there for OUR honeymoon as well, but my sister went a bought us a week down at Barrington Tops. :D

I'll have run out of holidays after that and it's impossible to get Christmas off anyway so I won't be able to make it there this year :(

Didn't see beer mentioned in your initial post!!:D , I'd take copious quantities, as a man under pressure, needs a refresher......also if the missus likes wine/champagne, grab a bit of that too, always goes down well just prior to sunset!!.........:D

Oh, and Aeroguard/Rid/Bushmans, maybe a mossie/fly net for the swag:) .....hope the Southeasters abate a bit for you........:)

That is a definite.... you can buy grog on the island.... but only if you have Bill Gates wallet:p

I noticed in the shop at Eurong 6 pack of Bundy and cola cans....... $32:eek::eek::eek:

I guess that stops people whinging about fuel prices!

If that is for the historic Barrington Guest House, it was badly damaged by an electrical fire a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if they are still operating as there are some cabins, which I assume were not damaged.

If you go, there is no 4wdriving since all of the good tracks have been closed when it was made wilderness area. But I can point you to some interesting places to visit.

Mick and Tash,
unfortunately i can't add anything to your trip preparation... lol
but i hope you have a great trip!
i can't wait till i can get up to fraser...

take it easy, and all the best!

cheers,
bryce

fernockulated were heading (handbreak +3 kids from Ade) picking up a mate and family to be up there on the island 16th Dec ended up getting a house back at Orchard, misses idea of roughing it is having a smaller microwave than at home. Till I came along her idea of camping was sun baking in the back yard in Brisy, she had a shock when I took her for the first time, cost me over $1500 in 3 days, but thats another horrible story:dbcry: :dbcry: :dbcry:
