Hi All,
As this information is spread across several topics I thought I might correlate it all into the one topic with members definitely coming to the MySwag Fraser Fiasco 2012. Once you have booked your beach permit for your 4x4 and your camping please post this info into this thread and I will update this first post with members who have booked and there travel times so that people can buddy up on the beach run’s.
If you have all your recovery equipment and are a competent beach driver feel free to put your hand up to buddy up with less experienced members or members who have never been to Fraser Island before. If you would like to buddy up with a more experienced member also put that in your post :cheers:
There are a few of us already looking to head off from Inskip Point around 06:00-06:30 on Thursday morning 26/07 to make the most of the low tide. This should be a very easy drive up the beach with minimal traffic. All though we will also have the joy of looking for a good camp site once we hit Cathedral beach.
The Camp site entrance will be marked with a MySwag flag so once you get to the Cathedral beach sign slow down and keep an eye out. If you get to the Dundaburra Camp Ground sign turn back you missed us ;D

I will buddy up with you mate, not sure who is the more competent driver tho! ????

I would say you ....... to get where you do with a Patrol you must be a better driver than me ;D
Has Bec booked the permits yet ? Also let the boy's know that I have a gun fisherman coming and hope to get him to run some master classes on bait catching and beach fishing :cheers:

Will get the permits sorted, Yogi. At this stage, we are looking at heding up the beach you and Dazza, on the Thursday. Does your gun fisherman know how to catch beach worms?? Need a lesson or two in that master class, as I always end up with the head ripped off the worm.

Forstd ...... he sure does ;D
yogi

As much as it saddens me to say this....I'll have to pull out of this trip. Have a drink or two for me and takes lots of pic's

Hi Yogi and fellow Fraser Swaggers.
Our 4WD/Camp permit date is from Sat 28th July to Sat 4th August.
We plan on catching the ferry from Inskip Point around 8am or earlier Sat 28th ( low tide is just after 9am)
We are ok with recovery gear, have a winch, competent in the sand although havn't towed a camper in the sand yet or driven on Fraser.
Driving an IFS TD Cruiser with Lifestyle Camper. Also have 40ch UHF radio.
Quite happy to buddy up with anyone.
cheers

Amanda

Hi Yogi,
I have been holding off booking my permits etc as we have been shopping for a new 4B. Works Navara has sufficed for the last 6 months but can't really do anything to it to improve our camping experience. So we will pick up the Prado on Tuesday and will book permits etc this weekend.
I'm off to Darwin for work till early july so hopefully when i get back we can juice this baby up!

Permit information updated as of 9 June 2012, let yogi or myself if we have anything wrong.
Amanda

We did a reccie to inskip yesterday the frying pan was nice and hard and easy with a ct this was about an hour before high tide. If your planning on driving up through DI then use the freshwater track as rainbow rocks look pretty hairy from mid tide. With all the rain there has been a land slip on Teewah about 1.5 k south of the camping area that has caught heaps of cars.......it's wet aerated sand that will sink you to your doors in seconds. I tried to pull a Navarra out of it and it was tough going we ended up doubling up with two cars to get it
(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb2-c64e-8114.jpg)
(http://img.tapatalk.com/3aa3afb2-c6a3-ae28.jpg)
This was heading back from rain ow rocks to the cutting to DI at mid tide
Yogi feel free to move this to a more appropriate thread if you want
Cheers

Yogi,
All paid up for the fiasco. We have booked 28/07 to 04/08 and will be teaming up with Blueroo, Cancan and Ute701 in the morning. The new Prado will be ready, just booked her in at the camping show for a good deal on bar lift and snorkel. Crazy thing though we don't pick it up till tuesday and we are already spending $ on it.
Can you check to see if the money we paid for the coolers has been received.
Getting close now and can't wait!
Neil
-
Nomad ... thanks for the update. Looks interesting ;D
Neil ..... sounds like your going to have a nice rig ready to do Fraser with. Are you guy's planning on leaving Inskip at 08:00 still ? Just in case others want to meet up with you for the trip up the beach.
yogi

We are pretty easy with the time on sat. If anyone wants to leave Inskip any earlier we'll fit in. We'll go with the general consensus.

Hi Dave,
There's a bunch of us leaving Inskip on sat morning. You are very welcome to join us. At this stage its looking like 8 am but if anyone wants to leave a bit earlier I'm easy. Just let Yogi know so he can put you on the list.

Hey Ute701, Blueroo & Cancan,Are you interested in meeting up at ettamogah pub at 5.30am and travelling convoy to fraser?Neil
Neil ,
Sounds good to me . ( Not sure about the state of the rest of the family at that time , they might be still in their pyjamas !! )
Anyway , what time does the Pie Shop open at the Ettamogah Pub ? It's the best brekky in town !
Will decide in the last week for certain . I was going to suggest the big Matilda before Gympie , but I'm not fussy .....
And by the way , I can't wait to sample the new car smell when I see you .....
-
Gee that was fast only sent them on Friday at 3pm.
-
Ok Boo Boo and Yogi. Just paid the camping and vehicle permit. We will be staying at Rainbow Beach on the Wednesday night (Deb's Place-little B&B). We'll see you at the barge on the Thursday Morning, 6am. Cant wait. :D :D
-
There is room at my parents property at Goomborian for anyone that wants to come up Friday night for a leisurely drive to rainbow Saturday morning.
I will be leaving as soon as the girls are finished school so we dint have a very very early start Saturday.
-
23 sleeps to go
-
Neil,
5.30 at the Ettamoga sounds good to me as well. We can verify the week before for sure but I sure would love one of those pies. We can meet up with Cancan on the way through Goomborian.
I think its time to start getting the fishing gear ready.
cheers

What time are you hitting the beach on Saturday Cancan?
I will probably leave Noosa at about 6.30 so that should put me in Rainbow...via Goombarian Servo...... at about 8.30 = 9.00am. I think dead low is at about 10ish.
-
According to google maps, and who am I to disagree with google...Ettamogah pub to Goomborian takes 1hr 15min and Goomborian to Inskip point ferry takes 1hr 30min.
working on these times, leaving the pie shop (and allowing for a slower speed due to extra accumulated weight) between 5.30and 5.45 will get everyone to matilda servo at Goomboorian between 6.45 and 7.00; a quick chat and fuel up should see us at Inskip between 8.30-9.00
So I will aim to be at the Goomboorian servo at 6.45.....which equates 22 days and 21 hrs and 24 min to go....not that I'm counting

Thanks
yogi
21 sleeps to go

Not that big a pie oven!
Some will be cold and some will be warm and thats when the fight starts! LOL
I will get 20 pies and sell them upon arrival for smoko for cost, plus i will chip in $50 and proceeds for them can be donated to the RFDS! Should be about $130 if everyone loves a pie!
Off to Kakadu in the morning for work so there goes another weekend gone where i cant start prep'n for the trip. Dam it!!!!!
Neil
-
The bloke that owns the beefy's is a good bloke. Ask whoever is there if they have the"seconds".....they usually freeze pies that aren't perfect to give away to friends or donate etc.........you might just end up with good free pies that just need to be heated up when you get to fraser.
cheers nomad. :cheers:
-
Awesome idea Nomad, there should be enough webbers to do the job.
-
Yogi,
Permits are all booked, laminated and stashed in the ute ready. We will be leaving with you guys and coming home on Saturday 4th.

Simon ....... sounds like a plan. Can't wait :cheers:

Niley / Nomad ..... if you guy's want to find out the details and post up a thread to work out who wants what ect ... count me, Boo Boo and Bugone in on that straight up. We will have the Webber at the ready to reheat any / all of the pies :cheers:

I will give Keith a call, I think his name is, and see what he can offer, and post up here if I have any luck.

Sorry all but we have to pull out.
Wife just got a new contract and when they saw all the holidays that we have booked for the next couple of months they told her there is to many in the first 3 months....so all the trips that I want to do have got the boot...(the 2 main trips booked in July/August were fraser and taking the sister in law and her children on the plane for the first time and there first trip to Sydney. She has terminal cancer so the choice is a no brainer).
hope everyone has a great trip and will be looking forward to next years one.

cancan ...... sorry to hear that. We will have a beer or 3 for you and post lots of pics up. See you guy's on the next trip.
yogi

wow , that's very sad news . :'( :'(
On a brighter note how would you like to swap cars for a week ? :laugh:

Sorry to hear you cant make it CanCan, but family must come first. I was also looking forward to seeing how your new vehicle would perform on the sand, but next time.

G'day all. I couldn't pass up such a terrific Myswag do, so I've organised myself to get up there. I'll be picking Laith up on the Gold Coast on Friday arvo and we'll plan to roll out some swags near Rainbow beach later that night. I hope we'll catch those of you planning to get the early Saturday barge over.
I am trying to get another mate to come too, so will book permits once we know how long we can stay.
Anyone need anything brought up from Sydney?

Confirmed attendees updated as of 11 July 2012 :cheers:
There are only a few coolers left for those attending, they are $10.00 each. Happy to get the money on Fraser or if you wish to transfer the amount earlier, please let either myself or Yogi know and we will pm the bank details.
There are also plenty of stickers left as $4.00 each.
Thanks, Amanda

Another cooler payment received thank you.
yogi

Are we still doing the pies ?
14 sleeps to go ...... but who's counting :cheers:
yogi
-
I am booked as at 5 minutes ago. Saturday to Tuesday.
I have spoken to Ron at Beefy's. He doesn't keep his seconds, they are discarded of immediately.....so probably no go on the cheap pies......but I am waiting for a call from his son about what price we could get 20 or 30 of them for....so I will post that asap.
I only thought about the seconds pies as when I was last coming back from the Goldie and did the Yatala Stop one of the blokes asked and we ended up with two coles bags of cooked frozen pies..........
Also if we go for their pies they will probably be hot so we will need something to carry them in.....
I hope Niley or someone can still do the pick up as I am at the other end of the coast so wont be able to grab them.
Cheers Nomad.
-
That's great news Nomad, now that you're all booked bring on Fraser. So is the whole Nomad clan coming along?
-
The whole clan at the moment Booboo...................At least then I have to bring the CT so can have a bit of comfort.
Cheers Nomad. :cheers:
-
What time are you hitting the beach on Saturday Cancan?
I will probably leave Noosa at about 6.30 so that should put me in Rainbow...via Goombarian Servo...... at about 8.30 = 9.00am. I think dead low is at about 10ish.
Hey Nomad,
The Matilda at Goomboorian (opens at 5am) is an outlet for beefies pies too, if thats any help.
Book ahead to make sure you can get what you want.
-
HEy Jeepers.....I don't want to cut in on Nileys donation, but happy to help if I can.
I was planning on driving the Cooloola Trail to Rainbow....not that its any faster....just that drive into Rainbow can be a bit brain numbing.
Cheers

13 sleeps to go ...... but who's counting :cheers:
yogi

Thanks yogi for the reminder not that we have enough to do before we leave :-* But it does point out that I'm on leave from work earlier than that - 5 working days to go :cheers:
On another note we have 15 cars in total and around 51 people at this stage, this is going to be an awesome trip .......... watch out Fraser hear comes MySwag 8) No one will miss us with all the gear we have for only 2 people, the roof rack needs to go on now to carry some of the donated gear and other special prizes. Thanks to those members who are assisting with the transport of some of the donated items. No doubt yogi has the packing all sorted :cup:
At this point in time all the coolers are assigned and only a few will be paying us on on Fraser. There are still plenty of stickers left at $4.00 each.

Guess what ... I only have one thing packed !
And guess what that is .... ;)
I even went out and bought some more flags for it , so now it's even more impressive !
( and Yogi , those countdowns are putting pressure on us that are behind with our preparations = PANIC Yet ? :o )
-
12 sleeps to go ...... but who's counting :cheers:
-
I was just chatting with Yogi ...
And we both agreed we have trouble remembering everyone's names when we get on a trip .
( at least I think it was Yogi ? ? ? )
Anyway , I'm going to do up a sheet that has everybody on it , so that everyone doesn't end up being called "mate" all week long .
Or worse the wrong name ....
And do enough copies for one per car .
So , if everyone that is going can pm me some details ... such as :
User name / 4x4 type / colour / driver first name / passenger first name / extra passengers or children's names / and in brackets any preferred name or nickname .
Maybe add a mobile in case of urgent contact when arranging meeting points etc .
Then add your bank account and pin numbers ..... ;D
Thanks .
Can't wait ... this is going to be great !

10 sleeps to go ...... but who's counting :cheers:

So far I have details from:

8 sleeps to go ...... but who's counting :cheers:
OK so it's getting close and final arrangements are being made. If your name does not appear in the who's coming section of the very fist post of this thread then please advise ASAP .... cause if no one knows you plan on traveling with them then they won't know to keep an eye out for you or wait around for you if your late.
Can't wait .... :cheers:

OK so it's getting close and final arrangements are being made. If your name does not appear in the who's coming section of the very fist post of this thread then please advise ASAP .... cause if no one knows you plan on traveling with them then they won't know to keep an eye out for you or wait around for you if your late.
Can't wait .... :cheers:

Ahh hah... yes It's sitting there awaiting the INS company to approve the claim for repairs, They want more paper work than it took for me to get married... ;D
Apparently having it registered in your name is not proof of ownership, I did mention that i know exactly where the spare pair of used jocks are stored in the boat for emergencies .. ;D but that don't count either.LOL.
I'll get it all sorted after Fraser Fiasco.
