It appears there are no takers for this trip, so I'll officially cancel it. But there is a beach/ocean camping trip coming up next weekend.

This Saturday we have a Bribie Island day trip planned.


Where: Bribie Island
Cost: Requires a beach permit. Log into http://www.nprsr.qld.gov.au to book you permit online. A one month and one year permit is available.
When: Saturday 15th Feb at 10:15am for a 10:30am start.
Meeting Place: Meet at the BP Servo (BP, Cnr Goodwin Dve & Hornsby Rd Hornsby Road, Bribie Island QLD 4507)
UHF: Channel 13
Trip Standard: Green
Trip Leader: Dave

The Plan :
  • Meet at the BP, and exit at 10:30am sharp
    Travel to White Patch, air down, and enter the Northern Access Track
    Travel north to the Forts Day Use area for lunch around midday.
    Have lunch at the picnic tables.
    Here everyone can have turns getting bogged, snatching someone out, playing with tyre pressures, and use of max trax (all in non-salty sand).
    Then time for swim in the ocean, or play on the sand dunes.
    Later that afternoon, either travel back along the northern access track to avoid any salty environment, or travel south along the beach.
    For those traveling along the beach, we can stop off at Lagoon #2. The water should be around 30+ degrees. But there were some sea-lice 2 weeks ago, so many only water through the lagoon. It's very shallow at the moment, and you can walk virtually anywhere in the lagoon without getting your pants wet.
    Then another 5 minutes travel, and we air-up on the black-top.


Note - peak low tide on the eastern beach is around 4:00pm, so we should be able to travel in only "slightly damp" sand from 1:00pm from the northern beach.

Please let me know if you're planning to come along.

Cheers
Dave.
