Sorry, never crossed my mind to take one, it was basically hung off my DSLR mono pod (it got snapped in half during filming BTW) all attached to the back of the car with cable ties and a occy strap.

I really think you could patent that design and sell it 2 the world *LMAO*

Ha-ha, "Pearltrol", we arrived about the same time as you, but stayed a extra day, we mostly hung around near DI, but stayed at Rainbow Beach Township, it was busy hay, we still managed to get away from everyone most of the time, was a great weekend.

Also got to give my winch a run, once pulling a dual cab ute stuck blocking the freshwater track (had about 8 cars behind him), and another dual cab at the Teewah side of the Leisha Track.

Im guessing you camped on Teewah with the other 2000 campers ?

Yea unfortunately somewhere in the middle of the 2000 lol, we went to the calm side once over the weekend and had some f heads try and set up right in front us! So spent the rest of the time exploring some tracks in the local pine forest and did a day trip to the noosa river near cooloola lake via pine forest parrell to cooloola way, its a nice drive down that way.

Get memory map app and search for toolara state forest, its quite a large area but the track I did weren't anything hard but I didn't go into the thick of it as I was only going around cooloola way as its closed.. Apparently.

But once you leave the cooloola national park area you could drive to mayborough using pine forest tracks (toolara and tuan state forest).
