I know what you mean @Dobbie. I use my holidays to clean up too. Look at all the leaves I have to sweep up today. :bolt:

Now....you'll need a leaf blower and a wetndry vac as well.....that'll keep the neighbours happy.....and you'll need to blow the loose leaves from the trees and bushes so they don't annoy you in the future.

:o

It looks like a nice spot. Where is it?

Got dragged to the Double Island Car park, this is why I didn't want to go there until Feb, parked bull bar to bull bar, can't see any enjoyment at all, hundreds of trucks and thousands of people camped up here, yuck IMG_20161231_123005.jpg IMG_20161231_123000.jpg

I couldn't get a better shot with phone, I just couldn't belive the numbers, they stretched for agood couple of kms around the lagoon, the campsites at Teewah, Freshwater and Innskip are all full so that would easily mean thousand camp sites I reckon.............and someone's truck rolled off the barge to Fraser yesterday, forgot to put hand brake on, good video of it......

I thought they reported a hired 4wd with backpackers or, at least, overseas tourists.

Interesting that the reports also emphasised how broken hearted the girls were that their mobile phones were lost but they did lose wallets, passports and such.

No mention of the loss to the company who hired out the vehicle.

Mind you it's just by luck and arse that I haven't needed a tow out of some situations while others have been simply "Failed to proceed" for a short period of time.......................
