QLD , North Stradbroke Island , weekend 14-15th Dec

[04OFF]

North Stradbroke Island (or straddie for short) Camping Trip.

Weekend of the 14 & 15th Dec, Camping on Flinders Beach.



Straddie is a great place, it costs a bit to get a car over on the ferry, thus why this is a 2 day trip, as it becomes more cost effective.



A bit of info and links below toget you started, more trip details to follow later.......

Straddie is mostly easy going, and so is suited to standard 4x4s, Ill be happy play tour guide, or you can just do your own thing.

Some pics from our past straddie trips to get you excited......

You can come, you just need to cancel DI ! (ha-ha)


DI is pretty cool, heaps more stuff to see and do on straddie tho, plus you can get there much quicker !

I'm taking baby steps with my sand driving, plus this is a missus friendly couple of days for me . Had I not already been booked, id be there with bells on. Just another case of to many things to do and not enough hours.

Understand mate, no probs, more chance of finding something to test out the KMs on straddie tho (he-he)

As for sand driving, just let your tyres down to 20 PSI (or lower if its real soft) , and try not to spin the wheels, have faith in your Patrol , it will eat it up and get you anywhere you need to go !


And for the record, unless a trip is posted as a "boys" weekend (lucky if thats once a year), it will be 100% a family friendly trip, all of the regular trip goers i can think of, all have great wives and partners, they welcome any new faces with open arms.
