Cooloola to Tin Can Bay June 2011

[alphabet]

There is camping grounds in rainbow township as well if people wanted to camp there. It has a great pub and is only a few k's from the end of the freshwater track.

 

[raywise]

^^where are you heading from ray? I'm coming from south east bris, so thi drive for me would be a waste if I didn't spend the night

Hey Josh, yeah we're at Munruben, about 10ks south of Browns Plains. Its nice and close to the Gateway so its easy to jump on and head north.

 

[180%JOE]

Hey guys, I'm keen and free for the 25-26th overnight. I finish work at 8:00am Saturday morning so will head up after that If on that date? I'll definitely be camping overnight somewhere if others are keen? Also I like option two track as Im coming from brissy as well.

 

[Mick_STX]

Hey guys, would these tracks be ok for a newbie in a stock nav, pick up my new STX on wensday, never done any 4wding before, looks like this could be a fun weekend to try it out.

 

[Matt76]

Yeah I would think they would be fine Mick.

 

[Matt76]

I'm imagining for a day trip for those who don't want to stay overnight you coud meet at Kin Kin, do the run and then for the return trip come straight back down the beach and use the ferry to cross to Noosa and straight back down the highway home. That will depend on the tides of course, you won't want to travel that far on the soft sand if it is high tide.

sorry guys heading to canada / L.A cant make this one have fun like glasshouse !

 

[Scubamurph]

Weekends of 18th or 25th would suit me. On call the long weekend anyway so that one is out for me.

25-26: raywise, -JOSH-, 180%JOE, Scrubmurph, ljacko78

alphabet - no preferred date?


Anyone else? Add your name pls. We should try to get a date this week so we can then look at booking camp site somewhere if there's limited spaces. Also my calander is getting full so the sooner we pic one the better. The rest of the trip - where to go etc is easy to sus out on the day. cheers all

[fzrr]

I'll change my vote to the 25-26.

Finally landed a job after 5 months out of work. Starting next week and i'm not sure if i'll be spending the first 3 weeks in Melbourne training yet.

 

[Matt76]

I can do the 25-26th now too.

 

[ljacko78]

good work on the job Fzrr - hope you can still make it and no training issues.

Matt - nice


Looks like the 25th is the weekend then. Sweet!

 

[Matt76]

Tides on the 25th are approximately:

low tide 9am, high tide 4pm, so you would want to be off the beach by about lunchtime (early start).

Tides on the 18th are approximately:
high tide 9.20am
low tide 3.20pm

 

[ljacko78]

Good stuff Matt. Perhaps do the beach run Sunday morning? Seems most people coming will stay the night so could work out OK

 

[alphabet]

Hey guys...sorry for not responding, just got back from working out at emerald. I'm keen but I don't think I will stay the night unless I can find someone to care for the mutts. Which way has everyone decided to travel?

 

[raywise]

Yeah, I have the same problem. I either have to leave the family at home to look after our sweet G/Shep, or put her in the kennels overnight, (which I don't want to do).

 

[Matt76]

I'm sure we can certainly do it as a one dayer, even if we have a second group head up along the same path on the Sunday. I will probably end up doing that anyway so I can bring the whole family. You would have to set your alarm clock though Ray, no 9 o'clock sleep ins for you haha.

 

[raywise]

Yeah I've got to stop doing that on weekends!

 

[Biscuits]

to far for me to travel if its a day trip. 3.5 hours from Toowoomba. Maybe next beach run or a straddie trip

 

[Matt76]

There might still be some doing a 2 day trip biscuits so don't just be led by what I say.
