Lanolin underneath and the mattress change over to do on the camper and we are set.

Put the awning on the Cruiser, play with the scan gauge, seat covers on and we are set.

Fun then begins to jam everything in........ ::)

Off to a training seminar now to twiddle my thumbs and have some down time (sleep), and back home to pack then.  :cheers:

Roll on tomorrow morning! ;D ;D ;D

Well, a late nighter last night for Jules and I has us back in the game...  ;D We have camper packed and ready including food and fridges. The gear for stuffing the car to the windows is sitting ready in the garage for tonight's entertainment after a late finish at work.

Dunno if you've got enough booze JT as I've seen you on the drink and heard stories that made what I saw an afternoon tea party... :-[ I've gone for 2 & 1/2 cartons of beer, 2 bottles of spirits and some hefty litrage of vino.....  :cheers: I reckon Adrian might have our combined totals licked tho...  8)

Only 24 hours to go till I kiss this desk goodbye for a while...  ;D

Cheers,
Ketsi

Like I told Adrian, "You can always bring it home if it doesn't get drunk".  With all the other stuff we need to take our problem is where to stash it all!  Don't laugh if the kids open a car door and a tinny rolls out.  8)

You people ALL have issues.  >:(

Meagan and I are only taking Powerade, Apple Juice, Water, and some cordial......... :angel:

Only LOSERS have to drink to have a good time.........don't you read the signs on the highways?

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!  :police:

But because we are sharing and caring people, we are bringing along the back up supplies for you all.

3 bottles of rum, carton and a half of rum and cola, and 2 cases of beer.  :cheers:

Lunatics......ALL OF YOU!  :cup:

I have just heard as of the 1st May they have implemented alcohol restrictions due to the amount of car accidents on the island. I will find the link that mentioned it somewhere.

Ah, the preparation is going beautifully.......so good in fact, that I have decided to kick back, watch a DVD of Fraser Island and enjoy a Bundy and Coke.  :cheers:

Hang on, there is a knock at the door.........the BCF TV Crew are here........ 8)

Sorry, I forgot to mention it earlier. JT and I will be starring in the new BCF commercial that they are doing. It is being filmed tomorrow afternoon on Fraser Island........anyone else wanna star in it too?

Johnny, have you been practising your script? I'll just run my script and the scene setting past you...... ;)

It is 4pm on Friday 30 April, set is on Fraser Island. The 2 new Silver 200 Series Land Cruisers are parked high on the beach. The Fox Wing is out, the tail gates are down with the fridges full of beer and teasing viewers of the "good life", and under the Fox Wing is 2 fine looking blokes consuming some of Qld's finest brews. They are enjoying the afternoon breeze, the gentle sunshine, the serenity of Fraser Island, and the voluptuous bare chested Swedish Back Packer exiting the ocean and she runs up the beach towards them :o :o :o........ The men raise their tinnies, salute the gods, and say.........Ha-Hum-Huuum...cough cough...Hum! (Just clearing the throat)

:cheers: THIS IS LIVING!!!  :cheers:

Pity the rest of you won't be there with us for the shoot.  >:D >:D >:D

NO MORE SLEEPS ;D ;D we are meeting up with Marc around 10am and hopefully be on the island around lunchtime. I'll be on Channel 40 Sat morning. Hope I can find a great spot. My mate is up there for the Fraser clean up weekend and he tells me there will be around 300 vehicles participating with the clean up so camp areas might get a little tight, but I will do my best to find a great spot ;D ;D

Cya's all up there

Hi SeqFisho,

I am not happy to be still here at home, we should have been up at Rainbow Beach about now. With Glenda's busted ankle we are stuck at home.
