Will I need to bring along a huge HELP sign for when I get bogged ?????

[wags on the water]

I'm sure if you are bogged (or getting close to being bogged) everyone will know about it Greg.....

[FNQCairns]

Maybe you can look at fort Bribie .Dont know how much the new walkway shows of it,but here is a most comprehensive site i used before.It may lost some of its charm that everyone knows where it is though.

Thanks for that site, great to read as a teen in the late80s we did quite a few deliberate trips over a year or two looking for anything that resembled a lost buried hospital based on an old timers recollection + other stuff, if in that link they did find it I suspect we never had a hope.

cheers fnq

Is anyone considering camping up there? I have the Friday through till Sunday free. I need a break. I will probably head to DI Friday, then Bribie Sat depending on how I feel.

[Lucky_Phill]

Just thought I'd throw up some pics of equipment I have for offroad.

Beach travel does not require much.

TOW BLOCK AND BOW SHACKLE... ( bad things can happen if you use towball )




TYRE DEFLATORS PER-SET TO 18PSI ( STRAUNS )



RECOVERY BAG.....KEEPS THINGS NEAT..



SNATCH STRAPS...I ALWAYS CARRY TWO......



GLOVES ARE A NECESSITY.... LEATHER PREFERABLY.



FIRST AID KIT......JUST IN CASE.



JUMPER LEADS.....VERY HANDY



COMPRESSOR......BEST YOU CAN AFFORD,



COMPRESSOR.....TWIN PISTON



TOOL KIT....... HOPE YOU DON'T NEED TO USE IT.



PLIERS TOOL KIT WITH RESCUE TAPE, ZIPPY TIES ETC..



IF YOU HAVE A WINCH.... A TREE PROTECTOR



AND A SNATCH BLOCK




you will notice there is no pic of a shovel..... I do not usually carry one. They are great for digging dunny holes. In all the years of beach driving and getting bogged etc, never had to use a shovel, but each to their own.

for the beach the basics would be snatch strap.

and of course:-

Geez Phil,

Most of us just drive around in the bush or on the sand and have never used that sort or gear.

Oh sorry - maybe it's the sort of car you drive around in.

I think you forgot to display a bit of your kit. A mask and snorkel set to find you car after you drive into a two foot mud puddle.

It's Christmas

That's true Brett, you ferets in the pretend 4 x 4's never carry your own gear 'cause you're spending way too much money repairing faults to just keep them roadworthy.. The items above are for my Toyota, Landy, Mitshi, Subar and Nissan recovery kit...

OH, and my Lada recovery kit consists of 2.5ltrs unleaded fuel and one box of matches....

Just because you are over the border doesn't mean you are too far away.... I know where you live remember

Well it looks like we have three minimum ready to go.

Depends on the older two if they make it.

Otherwise we will be there with bells on

Harry

[bugman]

On another note, All things going to plan and the weather is ok I think we'll camp the night up on the beach.

Brett

[Lucky_Phill]

That does sound like a good plan Brett. let me know what site number you are at, if they tell you. ?/ I think the larger numbers are the furthest north.
