Hey Steve, leaving Brisbane in the morning, thinking of doing a marathon run, I just can't wait to get back to some cold Melbourne weather.Comment

Looks like you all had a good time. Maybe I should take up the suggestion of leaving a swag in Melbourne for these sorts of trips.
It sure is cooler in the southern states at the moment.

Yep that's also a nice time BUT always very very crowded as it's the peak time for fishing, which is why I reckon April-May is better (from an all round sense)...great spot regardless, I have been there at Xmas, middle of the year, end of the year, start of the year, Easter.....can't beat it especially with families (although mine are well and truly grown up these days).Originally posted by ScoticusMaximus View Post150 Silver Diesel GXL Auto with ECB Bullbar, Toyota Factory towbar, Black Widow Drawer system with Fridge slide and cargo barrier, GME UHF 3340 Radio, Waeco 50 Litre Fridge, Rhino Racks and Rhino Basket, ARB Awning, IPF XS Spotties, ABR Sidewinder Dual Battery system,Airtec Snorkel, Bilstien Shockies, King Springs, Poly Airbags and BFG A/T''s.

Heres some stats for those that wish they could have come, but missed out
as i said the budget was $2000.00 hoping for some change.
I didnt measure the exact klms but can tell you for me it was over 5000klms.
Melbourne to Brisbane about 1700klms.
Brisbane to Tewantin, up to double island point & back to noosa sunday & then Monday up to fraser via the beach, on at inskip, heaps of tracks covered including up to Prado Point aka sandy cape, back via hervey bay, brissy, then a day run from brissy to melb Monday.
in total 13 days away.
Costs:
$800 worth of diesel.
$183 ferrys & barges.
$94 vehicle & capming permits
not much over $1000 for the trip 2 weeks away........
add food & drinks, you have to eat even if you are home........
So for those thinking and/or saying how do you do all these trips,
the answer is its cheap! get out and do it! before life has gone by and its too late!
hope to see you on the next one......time to start thinking about the simpson trip starting in 4 months late August....
