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.

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

I have also attached a document published by QLD Gov't containing loads of info for driving on sand!
I'm sure you ignored that driving on sand info last time as did Andice...:rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:

Did you post this in the Barbie or in Meet-ups? I'd say this is more of a Barbie thing as it's much more fun than a meet up and putting it in meet ups makes it sound boring.

Was it an anal mod moved it?

Nah, I think it started in the Barbie on the back of another thread......I think Longreach thought it a good idea to re-start it in Meet Ups!

But.......yes, I agree Ann! This meet up (if you can call it that) will be a blast! Sand, sun, petrol, Barbies, dirt...........whatever, we'll have some! :rofl:

A lot of people don't come in Meet-ups so will miss the fun.

You not got yourself a job yet?

Of course you can come and as I haven't been off road there before I don't know if you need 4WD. Even if you do I'm sure there's room in someone elses car for you.

Guys you wont get far with 2WD I'm afraid :( It's strictly 4WD territory!

We have a couple of spare seats....

And it is about the same distance from Lota to Brisbane....the other side of Brisbane, if that makes sense :confused:

You beat me to it. Has a date been set? And for what it's worth I vote for BBQ, Eskying AND a quick(ish)pint.

25th November guys!

The exact time n'all that will depend on the tides, so we'll sort that out a bit nearer the day.

Will update the list of who's going a bit later on - its 4am at the moment and I can barely see the screen! :eek:

Oh, and everybody's welcome! I will also post a map link later so everyone can find it!
