Fraser Island - 2010 Gathering
« on: November 30, 2009, 09:52:03 PM »
Well it has come the time that I finally post this trip up.  It has been discussed with a few of the crew so without further ado.......

Myswag Fraser Island Get-together May 1st - 8th 2010

Yes, we are heading to Fraser for a week starting with the QLD Labour Day long weekend.  As with other trips this is not a guided tour and anyone that comes along is responsible for themselves (and their own beer)!!  It is also entirely up to the individual as to how long you want to stay - no pressure to do the whole week if you don't want to.

There will be further information down the track but initially just want to get the date out there so that anyone interested can start planning.  Please be aware that we will be beach camping along the eastern side of the island, therefore you will need to be mindful of the dingo issues on the island.

Here is a link for further information:
http://www.derm.qld.gov.au/parks/fraser/about.html#things_to_know_before_you_go

Feel free to indicate your interest in this trip.  There will not be a limit to numbers but closer to the date we will be looking for confirmation of attendees to help with organisation and bookings.  And if anyone has any tips or information that will help make this trip TOPS please speak up.

Looking forward to Fraser,
Karen

OMG!!!!!  :cup:

Yeah yeah, put us down of course Karen.......although you already knew that was a given.

Should be great weather in May, though maybe a little busy over that weekend, but then the traffic will ease for the rest of the week. Fraser is a terrible choice of places to go Karen.......the scenary, the beers, the sand, the creeks, the history, the wildlife, the expected company, the 4wding, the troop carriers full of swedish backpackers, the rum, the place is just AWESOME!!!! Fraser Island is on equal billing with Cape York for me.

We are looking forward to it already.  :cheers:

You can buy grog over there but be prepared to pay through your a......., and you will also have to leave one of your kidneys there.  :o

Last time we were over there it was $96 for a ctn of Crownies and $85 for a ctn of VB. Needless to say we didn't buy or need to buy, but we asked out of curiosity.

I'm really keen, was not planning on attending the gulf trip, was hoping to go to the Cape, but my last trip to Fraser was one of the best holidays I've ever had...

Please put my down as tentative  :cheers:

Why thankyou Karen, I am suitably chuffed, but mere words pale in comparison to action and McGirr has those runs on the board.

He will not take being out of favour lying down I'm sure. ;D ;D ;D
