Members Going To Fraser Island - May 2010

[Ketsi]

Hi Ketsi,

I was going to head up early on Saturday morning for the 6:00 6:30 barge and head up the beach via Hook Point ....... what way / time were you thinking

Thanks
yogi

Yogi, does this mean you are a definite starter  or in the event you do get the time off to come? I was planning to be grabbing a similar 'early' barge like you have suggested and be guided by the beach conditions etc as to which way after landing on Fraser. We prefer to make a start on the journey the arvo/evening before and do a quick overnight camp and on the move again the next morning. I think the cape trip etched this excitement for the 1 night stop type travelling so we love the idea when doing our trips now... But if you're coming up for the early barge you can pick us up on the way on saturday morning...

We are thinking of going up Friday and staying o/nite at Rainbow then hitting the barge first up on saturday, but that will be tide dependant

Glen, are you planning to camp at rainbow or a softer  option...  Might be a few of us gathering for the early barge saturday then.

Cheers,
Ketsi

Ketsi,

Definately camping, there will be no soft options prob at Carlo so I can aclimatise to the sandflies and midgies

Hi Ketsi,

The only reason I have not been able to commit 100% is we have several roll out scheduled for completion well prior to this week but unfortunately the dates keep slipping and the boss won't officially approve anything till it's all completed It's is of course unofficially approved .......... lol

I always stop for a quick top up at the BP before I hit the beach so we could meet in town or at the car park before the beach where we can all air down

Thanks

I will be bringing a mate of mine along if that's OK ....... Craig aka Fish Bitch ...... He has his daughter's birthday on the weekend we get there so he will drive up an meet us on the Tuesday morning

Thanks

This is my 4th trip to the Island and cannot wait.

Excellent news Ray and Glenda,

Part of our enjoyment for heading along to myswag gatherings is to meet and greet new faces and share all their camping experiences and setups etc. It seems we scared off all the southerners for this trip which is a shame for us personally but happy that not only are we experiencing all the beauty fraser has to offer and revisiting previous friendships with swaggers we've already met but we now get some new swaggers to put a face to the name.

Cheers, 
Ketsi

[Berg]

Well said Mr Ketsi  

[MnMs]

You are so welcoming and sweet Ketsi.

Welcome aboard the trip Ray and Glenda, look forward to meeting you both.

We will be at Fraser from the sat 24 April with friends and
we were planing on leaving on sat the 3rd. I'll let the boss know at
work that I might be a few days late and drop in on this gathering to
say hi for a few days if the wife and I are allowed, I'll try and pack some
extra beer and rum some where in the camper cause I don't fancy the
$40 per six pack of rum in eurong.  This will be the first camp in the new
old camper so go easy on me if takes more then a couple of beers to set up 

[yogi]

Another trackabout user ..... so I am sure JT will want to have a few rum's with you .....  

PS (welcome aboard)

[MnMs]

This will be the first camp in the new
old camper so go easy on me if takes more then a couple of beers to set up 

You will be welcome mate for sure. Just don't expect too many coherant helpers to you set up.......I think we will all be......well......enjoying ourselves with a tinny in hand. 

I think the Trackabouts will be the majority AGAIN at a SE Qld gathering!!!
