    Anyone have an recommendations for things to see/do whilst here? We'll be here a few days with two lots of friends arriving to join us tomorrow.

    Already the roads & camp spots have plenty of folk travelling to Birdsville for the races in a couple of weeks time. Most are very courteous on the road but we reckon it'll get pretty crazy over the next fortnight. We're hoping to avoid most of it, just haven't quite worked out a travel strategy to do that yet though! Not interested in going to the races, we'll go to Innamincka via Birdsville & Walkers Crossing after the races before heading across to Fraser Island sometime in September.
    We might see you in our travels along the way somewhere, we'll be passing through Birdsville heading East sometime around the 4th September after doing the Madigan line. Then we will be on Fraser from the 11th-16th September. Qld school holidays start on the 16th I think, so we will be leaving Fraser as the crowds arrive and heading back home via Alice/West Macs etc.

    Fraser will be busy before school holidays as well because a lot of people go there early September to beat the crowd so they just form a big crowd anyway. The week after the holidays is still busy but after that is gets nice and quiet.
    At the end of the day, all you have is yourself and all you need is your friends (and in our case our Patrol)
