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.

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

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.

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 !
