  • Fraser Island 2013

    Not that I am excited or anything, Fraser Island tomorrow we go! No camping this time round, villa at Kingfisher. Looking forward to a few nights on the island and some much needed beach driving, swimming, exploring etc.

    Anyone else over there between the 27th and 31st?

        There's no such thing as a wrong turn... it's just the scenic route!

          Thanks Snaga, Richo did say that. Will try to catch them on the island, from what he said they are beach camping.

                    Hey Minh, great to meet you as well, shame you guys are heading home. You beat me to the spot, trying to edit your number plate out on the iPhone is not an easy task. Hope you and your family had a great trip away.

                    Robert saw that in the news today, poor bugger.

                    Also caught up with Richo and Stewy today up at Waddy Point. Got some great GoPro video of Indian head crossing, the tracks are every very soft over here, no rain for quite a bit of time.

                    Cheers Dan

                        More bad news I am afraid. Just heard that three people have been badly burnt after a gas fridge exploded at orchid beach on Fraser Island. Rescue Chopper has been flown out there.

                          Robert the storm of all storms hit last night, one big light show with plenty of noise, it rained solid for over an hour!

                          Just read about the poor guys at orchid beach, not good.

                          Tracks should be great out today with the rain we had overnight, different looking day however.

                            Bet the family is glad you had a villa at Kingfisher then Dan!.
                            I have a feeling Richo and Stewy may have got a bit wet beach camping.
                            Bucketed down here as well.

                              Hi All

                              Made a quick video up of the Indian head crossing and a few other hot spots / points when I remembered to turn on the GoPro. I did forgot to tighten part of the mount but so it does go on a slight angle on a couple of points and has a little wobble, sorry but you will get the idea. The video will only work on desktop computers, no go on iDevices sorry.

                              http://vimeo.com/m/83105611

                              Cheers Dan
