Qld Labour Day long weekend. Who's heading out?
« on: April 30, 2012, 07:05:55 AM »
Wife and I are off to Mackay for the Single Action Shooting Qld State Titles. Most shooting ranges are down a dirt road in the boonies, so that's the closest we get to off road. Will be a fun weekend of camping out and catching up with old friends and making some new ones.

Anyone else making use of the long weekend to hook up and head out?

We're heading out to the Australian Heritage Festival at Jondaryan Woolshed, halfway between Toowoomba and Dalby.
Camping is great as long as the mattress is inner spring!

Hey Benji,

I am from Toowoomba as well and never been to Ocean Beach, let me know what its like, am thinking of trying to fit in a day trip as the rest of the time may help a mate work on his house.

 Cheers

Benji and Wartim, the Ocean Beach camping on Bribie is one of my favourite spots, I'm sure you will love it. Camp sites 10, 11, 54 and 55 are the better sites IMHO. Enjoy

Lucky buggers.

I'm flying down to Bris on Thursday, gearing up to work all weekend on a big relocation project. Should be great fun (not). Whilst you're all sitting on the beach/by a campfire, spare a thought for me.

Enjoy!

G'day Gutters

Can you pre book a site (at ocean beach), I guess if you can, you dont get to choose the site?

Thanks in advance for the advice

Cheers

Hi Wartim
You can pre-book at ocean beach and you do choose which site.  There's a map of the sites on the derm website.  The recommended sites were already taken when we booked a few weeks ago so we had to choose a different one.

Yep booking via the Derm site, I,ve got links to the appropriate pages in my trip thread

http://myswag.org/forum/index.php?topic=20488.msg328545#msg328545

We found it best to do a day trip when its quieter to have a good look at all the sites and then record the numbers for future reference and booking.
