We are planning to spend a week or so on Moreton from 3rd July to 9th July (approx).
We will be camping on the ocean side probably at, or near, Eagers Creek.
Anyone else there at that time???
Might be nice to meet other EO members or friends.
cheers
Oskar

Ooooh what a tease you are Oskar! Wish I could be popping over there - need to see some sand (but preferably with seawater). Have a dive for me.

G'day Ruth
Great to hear you have had some good rain out there.
A few more boggy roads I suppose.
How's the "track" holding up with the rain and the season's traffic?
I am trying to organise our long-service-leave for next year to come back from the west through B'ville so hopefully we'll see you then.
Couldn't make it this year as we're building.
See you
Oskar

Hi Oscar

We were planning to go around that time but now have pushed back our plans till august or september.

Our original plan was to do Fraser again, but the last time we were there, all the inland campsites were crowded and surrounded by those ugly dingo fences. Now with the campfire restrictions it's not even worth camping on the beach. So Morton it is.

Enjoy your trip.

When did you steal my car?
Is that Levuka I see? I thought you'd gotten into my Levuka pic files there for a minute.

Levuka it is indeed. Went there a month or so ago. When going through that dry creek, I must've destroyed semething in the steering/suspension, because now there is this great sounding "clunk" everytime I go over a bump in the road. Haven't had time to look at it yet.

By the way, did that dump-pipe you fitted have much effect?

Cheers
Rob.

We haven't been for a few years now (1998) so it will be interesting to see how the island has changed.
We would usually go to Fraser a couple of times each year but we thought we'd take a look Brissy's best kept secret again.
I hope they still have a nice buffet at Tanglooma.
I'll let you know how it goes.

Camping on the western side near Cowan Cowan.

Might see you there.
