We have a member who is joining us on the trip as a late starter. Welcome aboard Glenno.

I think we are up to 27 cars.

Thinking to myself one free beer a day from each car I should be set.  :cheers:

10days till we head up, been reading up on all the awesome info thats on this forum. top work guys, certainly been an awesome help with our trip. hopefully will cross paths while we're up there. if any of you see a white gu patrol towing a lifestyle camper and 4 yellow jerry cans on the roof make sure you come up and say hi.

also if anyone is looking at doing the creb track around the 24-25 let me know, we're travailing up solo and are keen to team up with others

Thanks Mark. Better late than never!!

We are on an 8 month trip around Aust and was doing the Cape. The timing ended up working in too well, and the opportunity to join the group was too tempting

I think we win the prize as having the youngest kids, a 2.5yo and a 3yo, (turning 4 on 9th July). With all the older kids, looks like we'll be set for baby sitters!!! :)

Given my extremely (!!) bad eyesight, my very capable wife (Amy) will drive most of the track. I figure i get to tackle the hairy / fun stuff, fair deal I reckon

Looking forward to catching up with everyone!!  Will probably be in Cairns late this week, explore surrounds, stay at Coconut, then move to Placid the night before

Now, being a Victorian, need to figure out whether I drink xxxx the whole trip!!!??

You should not have mentioned your bad eye sight as I can see some practical jokes coming your way  ;D

Welcome aboard

Welcome to the 2012 Cape Trip Glenno. Just read your last blog and your idea to move the night before from Coconuts to Lake Placid. Just thoght I would mention that they are only 15 minutes apart so the amount ofwork to relocae may not be ustiied. Just get up 15 minutes earlier on Sat am. Just a suggestion to save you a heap of work.

Thanks Barraboy and Blackcat

After actually looking into it, have booked in Placid from Wed 20th.  Figured our young kids didn't need all the bells and whistles of Coconut, and 15 mins might be valuable when trying to get whipper snappers sorted that time of the morn.

Funny, when I booked into Placid, i mentioned the MySwag group. The guy remarked "there's 100's of the buggers".
