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!

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

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

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?

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! ;)

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 :-)

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.

would be interested in the weekend camp 4wd at frazer depending on the date. its a bit too far for us to make it to bribie for the day though
