Tales from the Quim

So we went to Fraser again, this makes 3 visits in the last year, sure it is a stunning place, probably the best camping spot you can drive to, but I really need to stop blowing all my annual leave there. This time we had some new recruits in the Jedi wagon and Cres pax’ing with me.

Guru would have been happy (if he’d come – sand allergy, go figure…) that everyone made it on time at 5:30am to depart, It’s been a long time since I’ve been on the road at 5:30am and Kingsford Smith was bumper to bumper. What’s with people these days? what’s with traffic? bah!

Minimum fuss once we were on the highway, we were straight onto the barge and starting to play up…

It was a fantastic drive up the coast as usual, until we got to Indian Head where not one, but TWO busses were bogged, a lot of people were waiting and looking but we decided to cut through and go around..

Stopped in a the Orchid Beach servo and then on to the South Ngkala Rocks bypass.. Cres I went first and then ended up getting 3 beers in before anyone else came through.. Che5ter came out with 2 cars attached with snatch straps behind him! Show off, alas there was no photo!

We arrived to disturb the peace for IP, Jedi and Wayne (Jedi’s bro), who had been there for a few days in advance and were visibly over-relaxed. I named them the Read Only Crew as they just sat around and watched the green campers destroy the view and peace with little to no movement or facial expression. We packed the weber (thanks to fatty), and didn’t take long to get cooking.

I suppose what goes on tour stays on tour, and I’m sick of writing this blog post… The next tour is Hong Kong from the 17th to the 26th, and the next post after that!

My photos HERE, Jedi’s HERE, Siq’s HERE, more when I find them…
