How much alcohol to bring !!
« on: January 11, 2012, 08:35:53 PM »
The million dollar question!!

As mentioned in the thread on Alcohol Restrictions all members are aware of the laws and fines involved if caught carrying excessive amounts. The only place we will be in a restriction zone is approx 10klms past the Jardine river ferry heading to Seisa.

Take into consideration that there are only cans at the bottle shop at Bamage. So no spirits by them self only mixed in cans.

Allow drinks each day and evening when camp is set up. I allow at least up to 12 plus cans a day. When your sitting in a creek cooling off it's very hard not to have a few extra cans. I will be taking 5 cases for the trip up and then restock at Bamaga. I should be down to at least one case by the time I cross the ferry that's if I don't run out.

There will be certain members that will be more than happy to assist in reducing any ones alcohol excess before the crossing :cheers:

Regarding spirits in bottles allow good storage areas that will protect them from the rough roads.

Aboriginal land and communities usually have alcohol restrictions.

North of the Jardine is all Aboriginal land.

Should I put spirits into plastic bottles so they not as breakable????
Would this also be easier to transport them in larger amounts????

Yes a good idea just make sure they are labelled for you to understand. Hate to see you think it's water  ;D

Guess what yogi got for Christmas from the Outlaws ........... an ice crushing blender that will run off the 80 series inverter ..... ;D

That combined with the music machine and the portable dance floor (synchronised RGB LED lights) it a party waiting to happen .......... lol

Sure wish I was coming :'(

PS(I am sure JK is going to miss the cash machine and ice maker already installed in the back of the 80)

As Mark said, stock up at Cairns, as the cost of XXXX Gold, north of Cairns is at least $60 for a carton of stubbies.
