SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Fellow 4wders

There have been a few posts in the 4wd for under $20K thread indicating an interest in a 4wd trip.

So, post your interest here... was thinking of maybe a camping trip to fraser or something similar.

Cheers,
Mark.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

We'll do it, they'll be at least 4 of us in our car.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

We're in, work schedule allowing and depending on date. Me, the mrs and 11 year old daughter. I'll ask t'others.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

would love to-we're moving over (from Perth) in three weeks. It may be too soon for us as we can't and won't put the dogs in kennels so soon ! But maybe the next time ??

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

we have spare kennels

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Now that's a thought ! Is it Jack Russell proof though ??!

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

For those not done the beach 4wd ing... then Rainbow has to be the place to go.

Id be up for it.. but prefer a weekend camp.. for those that wanna camp..

We have a spare 4by if anyone hasnt got one, and can lend it out... i stole battery out of her for my ute lol.. but can soon fix that

All you need is:

a cheap 2 man tent
some aeroguard
an esky fulla ice, 24 beers and a pack of bacon
2 sleeping bags or a doona or a sheet..
a torch
some sunblock for yourself or the kids

and thats about it.

rainbow costs about 7 bucks a night to camp on the beach
ferry over is about 5 bucks each way

drive 40k up beach to the town, go pub for lunch, get some grog from bottlo, have a walk around.. drive back before hi tide... light a camp fire on the beach...
do some moonlight fishing ( never caught fkall, but then im shite at fishing )

have a few grogs, whack some music on, play some charades or whatever... and a good ole natter..

Beats the shit out of WESTON SUPER MARE ! or MAIRD as wife called it

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

sure is.. we have purpose built kennel blocks, and one spare run..

Debs is home all day, we are not a boarding kennel but happily help anyone out :)

some more...

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

sounds good to me,Although might be a bit soon thou, as i havent got there yet. All our stuff wont be there until January sometime and i have to find a Toyota Prado in about 5 weeks time.
just itching to go out 4 wheeling, Frazer island is a great place ive been twice there staying at Kingfisher bay resort, and in a day i only got up to the maheeno wreck all to do with the tides.

Good idea mate.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

You gotta come, we'll make it a weekend camp

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Deffo stick us down for this!!

Haven't got any camping gear yet....whens this planned for?

Anybody be interested in another practice run for the day, to Bribie Island first? Just a thought! :)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

I dont think you can DRIVE on the beach on bribie... but the eastern beaches are nice to have a walk on, and always dolphins to be seen from the beach

but sure.. We are IN !

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Yeah you can Steve.......head up to Woorim, follow road to end and .....keep on going! Only any good when tides out, some nice lagoons along the way to stop and refuel ;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Need a permit though, we'd be up for this as well

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Yeah, apparently ;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

OK, so dare I take the bull by the horns and suggest a date and start to compile a list of interested parties?

Thought perhaps the day trip to Bribie may be a good idea to start. Give those that have never 'done' sand before a chance to iron out the creases so to speak and to see if they like it?

Datewise, a Sunday would prolly be the best option methinks. Time wise would depend on the tides so would have to confirm that nearer the date.

Hows about 25th November? Gives us plenty of notice.

What thinks you all?

OK, a list of interested parties so far:

Fluffythecampfireslayer (Rob & Caroline)
TimberFloorAU (Steve & Debs)
KevinBloomfield

Permits available HERE

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

we have bought a 4 wheel drive with the intention of goin..but hey surprise..never got round to it..so we would absolutely def be in for it? when would it be and for how long? and we are complete novices but with bucket loads of enthusiasm..is this ok? oh yeah, i forgot to mention my hubby is the best driver ever!!!! (self assessed of course!!)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

We go to Bribie all the time so should be OK for that.

As for the camping trip, what about sometime late December during the xmas hols?

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

25th is a bit soon for us as we only arrive a few days beforehand-but keep us updated to future events as we love 4WD !

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Does that mean Debs is not going on the 4WD trip ?? maybe you should have a boys only weekend ;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Sounds good but we're out this weekend and next but if you've got nothing on next weekend you could have a ride out to our secret rock band location.

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Depending on date we'd be up for it.

OH!!! AND ANYONE INTERESTED IN BUYING A VERY NEW SECONDHAND PATHFINDER NUDGE BAR BEFORE WE PUT IT ON EBAY???

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Oh? Huh? Secret? I do like a secret! Tell more! :p

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

For those that have never driven on a beach before - this is the kind of thing you can expect!

This was our first time and we loved it - been back a couple of times since!

Click the link for photos:

Bribie Island Photos

I have also attached a document published by QLD Gov't containing loads of info for driving on sand!

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

I'll bring a tow rope now I've seen what car you have :-)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

So what's the go then, are we meeting somewhere in the morning and then going to Bribie together? Also, has anyone got a mobile barbie (we don't). It'd be good to drive up the beach, stop for a paddle/swim and then have some drinks and food and then head back.

Is anyone into fishing? if so I'll bring my rods

What's the consensus?

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Yeah, thats what they all said the first time we did Bribie! You'll be surprised mate at how nimble that lil Ford is in the soft stuff! Went to all the places the big boys went to :thumbup:

Yeah....thought we could all meet up either in Bribie at Woorim or somewhere on the mainland beforehand and drive over in 'convoy'!

We could set up at one of the lagoons and get the barbies out, we dont have one either at the mo, but should do by then hopefully. People can then do what they like, fishing, swimming, hooning up and down the beach, drinking, footy - whatever!

There's then a nice pub back in Woorim that has live music on a Sun arvo just to unwind at the end of the day! Its a tried and tested formula! ;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

Bloody hell, sounds like a great day out and good training for a long weekend at Fraser island in the near future.
I'll get our son to come along as well, the more the merrier :-)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

So far:

Fluffythecampfireslayer (Rob & Caroline)
TimberFloorAU (Steve & Debs)
KevinBloomfield (Kevin & Sam +1) + Mick & Tracey
Longreach (Mark & Tracy)
Jaycat (Dean & Karen + 2)
Annqldau (Ann & Graeme +1) - possibly
Andicee (Andy & Wendy +1) - possibly

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

this sounds great!

i would be up for the next one if the timing is right, its just come at a bad time for us. but i will make sure i bump this thread to death;)

Re: SE QLD 4WD trip
 

I have a barby can throw in back of the ute. :) Its a flat plate jobby so... easy as.. :)

Plus I have visions of this whacky races kinda trail of sand storm behind a bunch of skid pan sand wannabes



Hope this is ok??
