4 weeks at Cotton Tree Caravan Park, Maroochydore. It's been the family Chrismas spot for the past 45 years.

Christmas at home with family and the outlaws, also getting the tinny out into the local rivers with my son and do some serious fishing.
Off to Yamba on the 29th for 2 weeks staying at the Blue Dolphin caravan park. I have my Expanda Forum stickers on the front and rear of the van and will do some sticker spotting as there are heaps of expanda's in Yamba at that time.If anyone is at the park come and say g'day,I'm on a corner site near the Tunnel playground.
Cheers

lets hope diesel will be readily available by then lots of towns running dry or close to it

Seems to be mostly the BP and Caltex stations that are out of diesel?

Shell and United seem Ok. Anyone know what the reason for the shortage is? Only in Victoria!

lets see firstlt it was scheduled maintenace for 10 days then oops lets mix 1000litres of unleaded with diesel ( so i heard from a friend at the refinery) and they obviously knew they had a problem as they have 2 ships due to dock from singapore in the nexy day . The western highway on weekend ballarat ran out so did bacchus marsh, melton all 7 servos no diesel yday today only shell has it and none on great ocean road and limited supply in warrnambool on the weekend . also bendigo ran dry on the weekend. Not looking good for people going on hols early also 30% of south oz diesel produced by shell geelong

No matter where we go at the moment, if we see them advertising a price for Diesel at a servo we are just topping up.
There are a couple left our way, but going fast.

Someone must have really stuffed up at the refinery! I heard they emptied a tanker full of diesel into holding tanks that had petrol in them. Along those lines anyway. It was kept veeery quiet.

We went there a couple months ago. Nice park, kids loved the pool. The park next to it looks great, looks like a Council Park right on the water (similar to Rosebud), but I think it may be managed by the Big 4.

You need to be very careful driving thru there, its a funny set up with a busy intersection right near the playgroung. Just go slow as there are heaps of kids around normally.
