As much as I would love to say we are going, we can't. :(

Doing flinders ranges in September.   Leave already approved.  I think I would be pushing it for more.

If anyone has plans for next year though, count us in.

Haven't been on the forum for a while, got crook last year after our return from the cape, our trip last year was so good that we said we wouldn't mind going back again, so we have now packed up and are leaving Tuesday 26 th going north to Innisafail then up through Atherton, we expect to base camp at Punsand Bay, last year we camped at Seisia which was a great place to stay, will be home by the end of June.
We drive a white Terracan with two tubes and a solar panel on top, would be good to catch up with any swaggers along the track.
Regards Woody.

Yes. Roadworks ( a lot of time they don't have stop & go they just let you know you can proceed) and all trucks are on it and that way you know what is going on. But if by chance you want to gossip to a mate then at least use another channel for such time.

Hope everyone has fun at the cape.  We are in Cairns at present and were leaving this Saturday but after a visit to the Doctor today looks like our trip is off.  :'(  My wife has injured her hip joint and she is in a bad way, so another year it will have to be.  Just need her to get better now. She has been in so much pain. So back home we will go.  Kevin

Heading south from Mackay and kept seeing well set up fourbys heading north.  Roof top tents seems to be the current favourite.  :D

Have fun up there, folk.

Hi all,

We're in port Douglas ATM contemplating whether to tow up through the Bloomfield track as planned or to out the back due to some rain around. Any advice please. Cheers
