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.

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....
